Besides PTG, what’s everyone using? I’m looking for a set in 6.5 and I can’t find anything or it’s not in stock.

I have a Wilson for .300 Blk and it has done the job. I've read one user reports Wilson gauges rusting. I keep it oiled.
Here's a link. Look at Manson.

Gunsmithing - Go/No Go Headspace Gauges - which brands to get or avoid?
Looking to swap out a factory barrel on an RPR with a PVA prefit and am looking to pick up some headspace go/no go gauges. I’ve come across Manson Precision, Clymer, Forster, and PTG brands so far. I am planning to stick with one manufacturer when purchasing and was wondering if there is any...

I have a PTG 6.5 creed go gauge that I’d sell. For a no go I just used scotch tape on the back of it.
Thanks man, just bought some Manson gauges. That’s what I wanted but everywhere including their website said no in stick. Called direct and Manson had some.
You can get the Forster no go from Amazon:
Brownells has them as well.

Picked up a Manson Go gauge from Brownells, no go was out of stock, tape trick did fine for me with the go gauge.
They do say use same manufacturer of go/no go.

I use a lot of Manson guages. Usually have my no go's made to +3 but they can make whatever you want. Good stuff...really good stuff, and awesome customer service.
Never mind Found some here

I’d suggest that you look to see if the PTG gauges are in stock at Midway or Brownells. I for one am getting tired of seeing endless threads where people bitch and moan about PTG not having anything in stock when their website clearly says otherwise.
Thanks bro I’ll double and triple check. But like you stated it shows in stock. Maybe I’ll call. Thanks for the heads up
Like so many before you........
Not trying to be antagonistic, hope you don't take it that way. The same threads I'm referring to ? They've "called" too. Yet, they end up posting/bitching here. BTW, I swore off PTG about 5 years ago. I had the same shit experiences that others have bitched about.
Give Dave Manson a call;
Manson Precision Reamers | Gunsmithing Tools | Grand Blanc, MI
We're a premier supplier of chamber reamers, headspace gauges, and other cutting and gunsmithing tools for rifles, shotguns, handguns, and other firearms.

He's a straight up guy. He may not be any faster on delivery, but he won't bullshit you about having something in stock when he doesn't.

No offense taken, it makes total sense. That’s why I posted On here. Figured someone in this community would have a lead on something. Thanks I’ll hit up Dave
If I need something and Manson makes it, I call and order it from them. Outside of a custom reamer, I’ve never had to wait more than a few weeks on anything from them. Plus if you have any technical questions they’ll put you on the phone with a technical person who knows a ton about what they’re selling.
I just got Clymer gauges from Midsouth ( could have been Natchez) for my 6.5CM seeing as they were the only ones available that weren't a month backordered. They worked out great. Got it right where I wanted it at +.003"
