    Pin Guage Set to Measure Diameters

    I read that the best way to measure pistol inside diameters is with pin guage sets. Can someone recommend a reasonable priced set? Here's one on ebay would it be ok? What should I look for in purchasing a set? THANKShttp://www.ebay.com/itm/360420899383?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p398 4.m1423.l2649

    Your ebay link doesn't work. You could search the gun smithing threads for some info on these.

    I bought a pin set a while back and found that for certain things like measuring cylinder throats it is perfect. Other than that it tends to sit around a lot.
    10mm and 357 sig. The best things to come along since the 38 Super.

    I buy Pin gauges and have sets in the machine shop and in the reloading room.
    I get the cheapest and on sale ones from ENCO

    But don't buy now. Wait for it to be in the "hot deals" flyer
