Thanks Bill: I better watch it twice I thought he spoke of doing the 30" in one pass so appreciate your pointing out that error. I will edit my post to avoid confusion
Francis: I agree with you about a less than quality tool ultimately costing you. I'm understanding that both these tools will give you an accurate measurement, so quality ends up depending on how you want to use it.
I don't see the stars and stripes with the Manson at Brownell's. Here is what Brownell states on their site regarding all their products:
Made In The U.S.A.
Products marked with the Stars and Stripes are proudly made in the U.S.A.
Many customers have asked us to show which products are made in America, and we’ve begun working with our vendors to identify them. This information, however, is not available for all items nor does it imply that foreign merchandise is of lesser quality. We will continue to gather this information to assist our customers in making informed buying decisions, and will keep our website current with the latest information.
I don't have a wall thickness gauge, so can't answer your question about measuring chokes. Leave that to those who have them.
I'm still a student of all this and have learned more about guns since joining the Parker forums than all the years I shot them (hunting only).
Eric: I have only looked at Julia's, as they sell way outside my range. A little surprised to hear their response though. Was wall thickness mentioned at all in the lot info??
