I snapped the threaded end of my Hornady overall length gauge. Have you seen the price of new ones. aaarggh

Terrible, absolutely terrible. The threads in this girl's horny overalls appear to have snapped too...

Make one :)

I can send you the drawings if you wish, I use M8x0,75mm thread on mine and use 316 stainless ends so they are super robust.

You are too bloody rough.

Yes please ovenpaa. I was going to try and make or repair the Hornady one until I tried to find a 5/16x36 TPI UNS die nut. No body stocks a die nut in this size.

I have emailed you the drawing, this is a picture of an early version of the finished item, everything is 316 stainless other than the central tube and sometimes the handle on the end.

£27.95 on clearance from opticswarehouse. But I do like Ovenpaas shiny ones.

GBP27.95 is a very good price.

How much are yours David?

He really should know better
