How is the milsurp market these days?

I did some research last night but could not find the original British 303 Enfield WW2-era Armourers Headspace Gauge-NoGo. which is .074 in. The regular SAAMI is not matching with Brits standards.
Is there anyone willing to sell or any idea where can I find one to own? apex used to have them but not anymore

Who all here has broken a Lee Enfield firing pin removal tool while trying to take out a stubborn firing pin?
Has anyone found one that is durable?
I ordered one made by Brownells and it's a piece of crap and broke very easily. I also had one of the T shaped tools and I've broken the lugs off it as well.

I have one of these from messer optic which I bought on eBay. I tried to remove a stubborn one once ,but I couldn’t because did not have enough grip.

That's another problem I have is getting enough torque. I got an $8 one coming from Sarco. If it breaks I'll get the one off Ebay

I bought one from liberty tree or maybe numrich? I took apart all of my lee enfield bolts earlier this month and my No5 was a real bear to get apart, great deal of torque was required but the tool performed as it should. I did file it a bit to get better fitment though.

Has anyone else seen the new All Quiet on the Western Front movie?
It's a bit different from the book, but it's still awesome. Lots of Gewehr 98s, Betheirs, and savage WWI killing

Saw it Sunday night with friends at my house. Cinematically it was absolutely amazing, although I wish they'd focused more on Paul and kept the scene from the book where he returns home for a while, changed, and then goes back. It didn't focus enough on him undergoing the changes outside of the combat. Otherwise, everything was great, especially the weaponry, although I did notice a goof about 2/3 of the way through where Paul's Mauser had the safety in the upright position one second, then down in fire-ready the next.

Still, it's a movie I don't know if I can really recommend people watch because it's utterly depressing. War is a curse upon humanity. I hope we never see it again.
