Kenny,
Oh well... I own a half dozen of more Elsie's. They are good guns but in my opinion, based on observed design characteristics, the Parker design is better. I think that time has proven this. Further, maintainability clearly wasn't considered in the Smith design... Hmmm, maybe someone could write an article of the merits of the designs of Parker, LC Smith, and AH Fox guns? An article such as this would need to be objective. As for Internet basics, perhaps it is time to learn? Mark

The seller who goes by the name of "Unloader" has been selling these bore gauges for a long time and makes a quality product at a reasonable price. He also makes cases for his gauges and makes wooden shell dismantlers. I have one of his shell dismantlers.

Mark have you measured 8 gauge bores with the hosford gauge? I have seriously considered purchasing it but wanted to insure it can accurately measure 8 gauge bores. If you had one you could get a .835 ring gauge and check the accuracy of the reading, but I would like to test it before I buy.

Eldon,
Yes, I have measured 8 gauge bores with the Hosford bore gauge. It does not come with a standard (calibration) ring for 8 gauge but calibrating it for 10 gauge puts it pretty darn close to perfect for 8 gauge. Also, for most tasks an accurate differential is all that is required, i.e. the amount of choke constriction. Mark
