REPRO CHOKE BORE DATA

[Dean Romig]

Scot, Aw shucks Scot, you know what I meant...

Actually, I was referring to the tools most commonly used by most folks measuring our shotgun bores and chokes. But thank you very much for that excellent dissertation. Are you related to Spencer?

If I recall correctly, Edgar was doing several mil per yr and in a cavalier manner decided to walk away from the biz b/c it was a pita. Further, he's got a killer gun collection.

DAD!!!..I'm your long lost boy!!!

Scot, can you line those tools up left to right and tell us which is which? I have cabinets full of machine tools, cutters and measuring instruments and don't know what I have any more.

I actually have an idea what those gizmos are...and going along with that when you start measuring for accuracy take into account just how long can I hold my hand perfectly still to get a "solid" reading? and what is the temperature of the room I am measuring in, how do I take into account thermal expansion, does it matter ? well yes and no, and yes and know.. depends on the kind of tool you use to split the hair and the type of surface finish I have achieved in my final process. Lots of variables to consider. ..as has been stated by others, that thousandth or two won't matter much if I point and shoot straight. I am always humbled by the fact that the Parker gun is such a Marvel of metal and wood, balance and artistry and has been for well over 125 years....I am still studying but I should get back to my chores..Happy Easter to All...Thanks & Best,Paul

Bill, just so this thread doesn't become inundated with technical jargon..I'll pm my email address. I'd be happy to help you sort through and identify the various items if you'd like.
