Looking for a bore gauge for checking chokes in a 12ga barrel

I have one but no time now to send picture. If you just want to check the chokes there is a cheap step tool that will do that.Ray

You can use a set of inexpensive "Snap" Bore Gauges and a Micrometer or Caliper. You put the guage into the bore and drag it out in a sweeping motion. You can check the bore and the choke separately with a little ingenuity. It's real easy for removable chokes. A caliper can be used to measure the opening (end) of the choke's diameter, but to know the amount of constriction, you really need to measure the bore for a comparison. A longer handle could be fabricated to check the bore diameter from the breech end.

OR, You could spend the big bucks for a dedicated choke and bore gauge in the desired sizes.

Brownell's offers two variations

One is 'Universal' one which covers 28 - 10

The other is gauge specific

Both can be had with either dial or digital scales

I bought a Skeet’s bore gauge from Brownel’s. Its the best gauge for the money. Click on address above.

Thanks guys , I ordered one today.

I guess I was too late. Mine does have the dial. Is in wooden case but only goes about 6 inches in gun. Is stainless or chrome and is for 12 gage only but the tip un screws and I think you buy other ends. Has set up ring too as I guess all do. Ray

I will try to post a picture.

I just added a picture of mine. If interested just make an offer. Email to above or call. Ray ...Cell 817-343-2026.

There is a small area of corrosion on the outside of the set up ring and it was there when I bought it. Maybe from a finger print?? Does not affect to operation of setting it up. Ray
