I need to accurately measure the thickness of my SOP...
No, seriously, I need one...

We got ours from Fred Fowler.

Be sure to get the NIST certificate with the ruler.  It costs more, but without the certificate you are back to square one.

We got ours from Ledford Gage Lab, Inc in Kansas (316)777-9300

And like BOB said, make sure you tell them you need the certificate of traceability.  On their website, click on the certified rulers tab over towards the right side.

http://www.mcmaster.com/ search for certified rulers from Starret.  We bought ours from a local vendor.  All shotgun and rifle barrell lengths altered to within an inch of the legal limit must be now measured with a certified ruler.  This is to conform with our new ASCLD International guidelines.  Make shure you get a serial number on the ruler so it can be sent back to be recertified every three years.  0.001 of an inch can become important
