Buy a bad gun and then complain about the price of a $110 bore micrometer. End of story. My bore micrometers and wall thickness gauge are more than 20 years old and have measured a million dollars worth of good and bad guns for me and friends. The gauges cost about $300 for all gauges, one Manson wall thickness gauge and two Skeets type micrometers. Never believe a dealer when he says he doesn't own a bore micrometer. He owns a bore micrometer. He buys guns with the micrometer and he sells guns without admitting that he owns a micrometer. Have you ever noticed that a dealer, when asked what the chokes are, his reply is "IC and MOD" for guns with barrels under 30" and "MOD and FULL" for guns with 30" and longer barrels. His job is to sell you what he thinks you want, without measuring the bores.
