Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

Garth,
I was just looking at the Manson gauge and thought I would order one since I also need to order a 6.5 reamer, now I'm not so sure.
Dean,
thanks for your opinion on the Manson gauge, if you were to buy just one gauge from Hosford, would the barrel wall thickness gauge or the bore gauge tell you more about the overall barrels being original and or safe to shoot?
I'm guessing the bore gauge which you could then compare with OD measurements at different areas of the barrel?
Thanks,
Stan

IMO a bore gauge reading when compared to OD readings will never, without hours of tedious and repetitive measurements, give you any inkling to incongruities in wall thickness.
I would always go to the wall thickness gauge and buy a cheaper bore and choke mic to go along with it.
