JGS Adjustable Reamer Stop

Non shouldered barrels??

Blasphemy !!

Just kidding.

Nice gauge. Especially like the knurling.

I don't do many Remage barrels but I do a lot for the Sig Cross. Their specs runs +/- .001" on HS. A rocking gage makes that difficult. $50 and a couple of hours work and now it's easy. W/O the knurling it would be a slippery little thing to hang on to with my fat fingers.

Which knurling tool do you use?

Mine started as an AXA self contained unit I paid $25 for on close out. That was more than a few years ago. I machined it to fit in a CXA toolholder. The best one I've ever used was a little Swiss unit. Unfortunately I popped one of the screws that held on one of the wheels. I may tackle making another one.

I made these years ago, they still works for me
Zero the readout on the barrel you just pulled off and you are always working to zero, or set it to a standard

I can definitely vouch for cut type knurling tools, they are so much better than scissor or infeed type. I found mine used, still not cheap with all the different pitch wheels but I’m glad I purchased it.

Just happened to use mine this weekend.

Is the one Dave linked a cut type?

I have a scissor I built from a kit, it’s pretty cool, and does a nice job on brass and aluminum, but struggles with anything harder than that.

Go to Dorian's website. There's a lot of information there. I need to spend some time studying it.

Deciphering tool and insert companies data requires a PHD.

I had Jasmine put me down for a reamer stop from their next batch. I can't make it for the $120 they want. Will only use it for throating.

I have my micrometer now. I am going to make mine from a barrel nut and 3d print the mount. It won't be as cool looking but it will work great I bet. Thank you all for the great idea!!!

What do you think of the micrometer head?
I've got a couple that I made into tools and I wasn't to impressed with how they felt or the consistency of the measurements, I ended up replacing them with Mitutoyo micrometer heads.
I will be interested in what you think of it.

I use those same ones on two other tools. Never had any issues.
