choke gauge tool inquiry

[Craig Budgeon]

If your main interest is measuring chokes you may want to look at MSC for a gage which measures inside diameters from .375- 1.375". The gage is capable of measuring the last three inches of choke, is very accurate, and will accurately indicate how the choke is formed. It has a face similar to a dial indicator with 2 arms, 1 stationary and 1 which pivots. The gage is made in China and have had mine for nearly 2 decades and also use it for lathe work. I paid $75 through Enco at the time which became part of MSC recently.

Only problem with those (and I have one) is on guns like Foxes the chokes are often over 4" long and you can't reach in far enough to get all the choke. That said for other guns with shorter chokes its fine.
