Hosford Gauges
Last UP shoot I sat in on a demonstration by Jon Hosford, Grand Rapids, MI, about his new barrel wall thickness gauge. The Hosford instrument handles anything from 4 to .410. I called Jon to discuss cost and time and learned that he has in prototype a new barrel ID gauge, which he hopes to demonstrate at this years UP shoot. The wall thickness set and the all ga bore diameter set will be in a wooden box together and have a price of about $1400. Interesting, and knowing these measurements would be important to anybody considering buying an old shotgun. Jon explained to me a number of reasons why he believes his new bore ga is superior to anything now on the market.
