Anyone have a spare set of head set of 303 gauges? I have access to a machine shop and could have them replicated.

303 Head space gauges

gauges are hardened
replicating a set of gauges will just be a waste of your time as they will rapidly become --out of tolerance.
Real headspace gauges are a hardened steel like tool steel and can chip easily tht is one reason to treat them with kid gloves but they have to be hard to last decades sometimes used by ham handed private owners.
They are quite hard any mild steel reproductions are a simple waste of time.
Buy a set they are not that expensive especially if you are going to gauge more than a few rifles.
If you are collecting the 303 Enfields than buy a set of the military gauges from Brownells (not the SAAMI measurement gauges)
