I bought these out of curiosity to check against my Manson set in a completely unscientific manner. The GO Gage is fine. The NO GO is closer to the Manson FIELD. In any case, they should get you headspaced.

ZPV is great quality. Remember gauges over here are going to be sami and stuff over sea's are going to be CIP. I prefer to use CIP since that is what the original people used. I have used their stuff and it is good to go but will take a bit to arrive as it is coming from serbia.

I have the Manson "down and dirty" set for 762x39 Bottom of page 10 on their catalog. https://mansonreamers.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Manson-Catalog-Final-Jan-2023-Edition.pdf Either set will work fine and let you set headspace to a known standard.

The Manson gauges I compared against were the down and dirty CIP. There was a slight difference in the Manson CIP No Go vs the ZPV No Go. This is only an observation, both sets work fine.

I would also suggest starting a single build thread and posting all questions there v/s some here, some there where the overall picture of what you're doing and what stage your build is in, what issues you've already had ect is unknown.

Interesting I didn't know anybody really did cip over here. Looks like the regular ones are saami but the offer these also in CIP. thx
Interesting not on the ones you have.

Down & Dirty Headspace Gauges made to the same exacting tolerances as our standard headspace Gauges--they’re just not ground where they don’t need to be. These Gauges are offered in the following calibers as 3-Gauge sets (GO, NO GO and Field) for 1/3 LESS than our standard Gauges.

Along with the fact that others who come along with the same issues or questions will not need to search as much on the same things you are experiencing and can just read through one thread.

But i want something that work and get here fast that's why I was thinking amazon

 

[patjsimpson]

You should get both of them.

 

[patjsimpson]

I can't answer that for you. shipping is a roll of the dice these days. Maybe you can find them locally.

Manson has never been super fast on shipping. I live about 2 hours away from Manson Reamers. Quick is usually 3-4 days and usually it's a week even if they have it in stock. Their stuff it top notch though and I'm waiting on a custom wildcat reamer from them at the moment.

So I dont have any other choice but them? I just need them for one build

 

[patjsimpson]

there are lots of choices... you can do a google search for them.

There are also reamer/headspace gauge rental places here is one but there are many more and there may be a wait Headspace Gauges

The amazon ones you linked to will work as will PTG, Clymer, forster and dozens of other makers. If Brownells has them in stock they'll likely get them to you faster than directly from Manson was my point. If speed is the most important thing to you then likely Amazon is going to be fastest. Off to make metal chips for a while.

I guess I missed that these were already stateside.
