I applaud your enthusiasm, and know well what you mean by being impatient, but using dowels, sanded PVC pipes, etc, to attempt to find something that is measured in .001" is akin to using binoculars, when a microscope is called for.

Why don't you let us know where you live, and perhaps you might find a PGCA member close by who owns a Chubb, or similar bore gauge. I have one, and live in N.Central CT.

Thanks, Edgar. I know I'm beating a dead horse, but I'm cooped up here due to snow and cold and can't get out much. I guess the old cabin fever has struck
I live in Palmyra, Virginia, about 20 miles southeast of Charlottesville. There's a guy at Woodbrook Sports in Charlottesville who has a bore gauge, but everytime I stop by there, he's gone, and no one else knows where the gauge is!


P.S.--the pvc pipe test measured .724" on an electronic caliper, but probably not very accurate on my end of the measurement
