Eight Gauge, but not a Parker

Bill if you keep an eye on ebay you can find a set of used pin gauges that go from .750 to 1.00" pretty cheap sometimes. I think I gave $25.00 for mine.

Thanks, Wayne. I have pin gauges, but I like the idea of getting measurements down to the 16" point. The pin gauges may not even go beyond a long choke. With the Manson gauge, you can also come in 16" from the breech end. By the way, pin gauges and micrometers are a simple way to measure .410 bores, since most of us don't own a .410 bore micrometer.
