Seeking an outward scoring gauge for air pistol targets

After seeing how significantly an outward gauge reduces the "guess work"
in scoring 10 meter air pistol targets, it seems time to obtain one of these little gems.
The problem is that it appears that RIG no longer makes them and no other resonably priced
gauges pop despite my best Googling efforts.
Do any of you folks know of a source available to US shooters?
Thanks for any informed replies,
Hugh

surprised that neither USA Shooting or NRA seem to have these listed in their websites.

Spencer thanks so much for the quick reply!
It does seem pretty amazing that neither one lists the appropriate tools of the trade. NRA does show gauges for BB guns, 22, etc. Both USA Shooting and the NRA have a nice selection of glitzy higher profit items;)
The ISSF guage is rather different looking than the gauges I have seen. At 13 Euros it may be my best bet.

Neal Johnson has them, I suspect Neal Stepp at ISS does as well. Champion's Choice has them too, $6.50 w/o magnifier.

On a similar theme, has anybody found an outward scoring gauge for pistol inner tens (Rule 6.3.2.8.4.2).
It would be nice to have one in my kit even though we tend to do all of our AP on electronics.

Champion's Choice is a winner for me....must have misssed them in my search effort. I need some other items they carry too.
Thanks for locating a more local offering.

The silly thing is that I am putting out turning work to a machine shop every day. I have just never got round to doing it.

Spencer, your mate with a lathe could make a fortune turning them out! Are you going to make them available through PA?

It's always more complicated than it first appears (ain't it always the way?):
- manufacture is the comparatively easy bit...
- the old wooden-boxed sets the NRC 'endorsed' were individually measured and certified by a qualified engineer (dimensions, concentricity, etc.)
- protective packaging/storage (more important than many realise)
- the old wooden boxed gauges were also colour anodised. Made detection of any wear or damage easily detected.
However, the project progresses.
