Little help on head space guages please...

[Brick]

I'm thinking of gettimg some gauges for a FAL project. I noticed Bushmaster has a set for $17. http://www.bushmaster.com/shopping/fn/fn_headspace_gauges.htm

Are these good gauges or should I shop somewhere else? Thanks for any help,

Brick

I bought mine from Bushmaster. They are
Forster gauges. No problems that I've seen or heard of.

I think That's an each price, not a set. If it's a set I pickup a few.

[W.E.G.]

Brownells sells a set of "match" gauges that includes gauges in .001" increments from 1.630" to 1.638"

This might seem like overkill for a one-time-project. I'm not a gunsmith. But, I use my set all the time. If you do much with .308 rifles, you will find the cost of the set as money well spent.

Just ordered set of go/no go from Sinclair Intl for $27.95, $33.90 shipped.

Thank you gents, next time I'll try to keep my eyes open when I'm reading something!

Mr Jeter, this will be my first .308 rifle but I do plan to have more (M1A and maybe a bolt gun or two). How should I decide which increments to purchase? Thanks for your time,
