theshootist Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Hi, Does anyone know the best place to find a barrel wall thickness gauge? They come up at auction occasionally, but the prices seem very high when fees are added. Is the only option to import one from the states these days? Thanks in advance..

B25Modelman Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Make one. 1M length of 12mm dia mild steel, 6mm ball bearing and a dti on mag base. About £40 for the parts. Drill a 6.1mm dia hole, say 4mm deep in the side of the bar close to its end. Araldite the ball bearing in. Clamp this bar to a bench or table. Mount the DTI/mag base onto a solid lump of steel/iron with probe touching 6mm ball. Zero DTI and there you go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
