Thank you! BUT, I'm a tad confused no doubt due to my ignorance on the subject. I have read posts citing a 0.007" variance in, say, cylinder size for the same caliber. I TRUST super-plus-machinests (like
DougGuy) to tweak cylinders sent to hone and polish them to that 1/2-thou benchmark. But for me? I would think the pin gauges in .001" increments should/would do? My thought is to, say, check a .45 Colt cylinder with gauges, starting with the smallest that drops in on a hole marked with a Sharpie so I repeat same
. Then, I advance the cylinder-hole check with the other five. IF they are similar, I'm fine? BUT, if I cannot drop the pin gauge in one or more -- or if it freely drops -- then, say, the cylinder needs a trip to a machinist?
Kindly let me know if I'm on or off base?
Further, I spent more than a bit of time seeking a source of gauges in 1/2-thou increments to no avail. (I had been looking for one in 0.4525) I cannot get the Meyer Excel order sheet to come up -- I just get a blank page. (I may ring them?) Do you know of a source?
Anyhoos -- you can see I need help (in addition to the psychiatrist
)
