Why not contact Wayne directly and pose the question..
Since Dan Brewer was the second person to respond to this thread I suspect they have looked into it & other than finding old stock on a shelf somewhere the US bearing manufacturers just aren't servicing that bearing anymore....

I wonder if the 308 bearing has the groove for the snap ring? Maybe that is what the SG stands for? Strange about the lack of information on the web concerning these bearings.
Here is the information that's on the bearings I got from Brewer's a few years ago.
SKF - BB1-1308 NRVBEF2 - USA - FA 14 345X
the 308 has the snapring groove , I don't think the overall bearing is as wide as the SG , I have a bearing spec catolog at work , I'll look at it tomorrow and see what it says. I rebuilt my first hemi 4 spd using the regular 308 15 yrs ago , didn't know there was a difference. I did end up selling it to a guy that just flipped it so I never heard if there was any problems with it ?

I wonder where the worlds largest military buys their bearings?
Probably in China...Since that's where the worlds LARGEST military is.
That's the scary truth. Hope we never piss them off and keep them on our good side. They own us financially, and their military strength is either equal to, or greater than ours. --I say "strength", because IF we have any technological advantages, they COULD overcome the fact that they have the "million man army" but even that's up for debate, as they are constantly developing newer and higher tech weapons
Anyway, back on topic...I'm sure Brewers is supplying the best quality parts that he can find for now. they don't seem like the type to "cheap skate" and provide lesser quality just to make a buck.

Wayne and his son are one of the best venders we have. If they could source a domestic made bearing I'm sure that is what they would use. As far as I know 833 is the only app for that bearing[could be wrong]. Any domestic one is old stock and supply will probably dry up soon. We are lucky we can get any at all.

One of their military generals did a speech where he stated they had the capability to hit us with a biological weapon but were waiting until the time was right. They need our land and resources.

I just went out in the garage and remeasured the bearing. It's still .8257" measured with a 0-1' micrometer. I measured the bearings that I got from Brewer's and they measure .8244" Here is a picture of the bearing. I believe it is the original bearing, .8257".
that's all within tolerance , I have 4 of them I got a number of years ago from a bearing supply house in Oregon , I'll have to dig them out ... no they aren't for sale ...
