Rook Hawk I couldn't agree with you more but as I said I am cheap. I own a bore gauge I think I paid $100 a few years back and the brownells I think I paid $100 for the fun. Being inexperienced as I am I usually rely on other people who have had the experience meaning expert gunsmiths.Which to me is more valuable than the tools.If you are not a gunsmith and most of these guys probably not be qualified to me to be an expert or give what I would call an expert opinion.But as I said I value every opinion out there yours included.I can assure you I don't care how many tools you have you cannot measure exsperience.
By the way I have sold several guns on this site I will give them two weeks to decide or take it to a gunsmith if they don't like it I'll give a full refund even if they can't find anything wrong.
I talked to Curt Marrington again today and he said he has had guns that measured .010 thickness near the muzzel end to proof.
Kirk said the problem is with dents.
RookHawk I am with you I might pass if the Holland is only .025 near the forcing cone.I'll get Curt to look at it first.
