McMaster Carr has them, but hold onto your wallet. The 2" are very reasonable, but double the length, and WOW!!!! These are listed as ZZ pins and you might want a .244"

Eddie, let me know if I can help. The distributors of Deltronic pins are right behind my shop. http://www.deltronic.com/products/plug-gages.html
Check and see if they have what you want. I think they are available up to 3.5" and in tenths increments.

I think he was looking for a set in tenths increments.

Yep... Should have read it, again. Vermont Gage, might work. http://www.vermontgage.com/index.html

Vermont does not list them. I would imagine a 6" pin gauge would be very expensive, let alone a set. It would be a custom.

Found a good selection of 4" gage pins...

Thanks everyone for the input...
