I think McMaster Carr for some Mitutoyo calipers. My harbor freight ones have run their course. I’ve bought several Sheridan case gauges. Also some Lee Wilson gauges. I have a real-avid inch pounds torque driver but what I would really like is a nice punch set, maybe with concave tips. Do yall have experience with a quality punch set? Do yall have any other specialty tools for reloading or gunsmithing? 10 years to retirement! Just waiting! | ||

Starrett or Mayhew punches. You'll need both regular punches and roll pin punches. And some tapered centering tools if you do action tuning work lining up stuff for reassembly. Lover of the US Constitution Wile E. Coyote School of DIY Disaster | |||

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should |
Once you determine the brand and model number, just do a search for price (delivered). I’d probably recommend Mitutoyo or Starrett for the caliper and Starrett for the punch set, or individual punches. Brown and Sharpe is another good choice. The calipers have a number of choices of configuration. I’d pick one that includes a temporary zero function. Also, be really careful buying Mitutoyo as knock offs are a big problem. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

STARRETT #3202-6 EDP#61467 calipers. Will serve you well. New on ebay for around 100.00 Or buy from Starrett or McMaster maybe too. This is nice punch set for metric roll pins. https://hkparts.net/hk-mp5-sp5...set-for-hk-firearms/ . | |||

I bought a set of Mitutoyo digital calipers through my workplace prior to my retirement. Mine are labeled made in Japan, and priced accordingly. There were others listed in the catalogs at less expensive prices, my recollection is that those were of Chinese origin. YMMV Bill Gullette | |||

Grace punches are nice. My Tekton Made in USA punches are good too. The Mitutoyo calipers are nice. Do not send me to a heaven where there are no dogs. Step Up or Stand Aside: Support the Troops ! Expectations are premeditated disappointments. | |||
