They sell "plus" and "minus" sets of pin gauges, depending on whether you want to know if the hole is oversize or undersize. For most gunsmithing purposes it won't matter which set you use.
I got a cheap set off eBay and they worked fine. |

And when you do not have pins for a range a set of split adjustables allows you to measure hole sizes using micrometers and calipers.

Nice, that's a neat kit. Did you turn the pins or buy individual pins? Thanks for all the info folks. I ended up ordering exactly what I was looking for from McMaster-Carr, as I have an account with them and they had just what I wanted. Made a set of gauges that tell me in about 3 seconds what my gas port sizes are and whether or not they need to be opened up or not. Have seen several barrels with undersized ports and related undergassing and needed a quick measurement tool. |

Had a local sign company make the sign board which I attached to some plastic cutting boards and drilled the openings. Then put some disectant in the lid to keep any rusting at bay between uses. |

Check out the Shars gage pin sets on eBay. I have been wanting to get a set myself.
