I purchased a fiddle case gutted it and remade it to fit the items I typically take to a gun show or gun store. What other do you take?

Items include:
1. Wall thickness gauge
2. Bore guage
3. 12ga and 20ga calibrators for bore guage
4. 20 ga tip for bore gauge
5. Calipers
6. 12 ga. snap caps
7. Tape measure
8. 12 ga. chamber guage
9. Flashlite taped to fit 12ga bore
10. Magnifying glass

And should have fitted for my reading glasses!

a violin case grin

i hope you wear a dark suit with pin stripes and wide lapels while carrying it

i have a similar kit in a wooden case- i see it as being a careful buyer,

if knowing what you are spending your money on makeS you a "chisler" --- so be it

PS- the more I look at it the more I like it - i pass on old wooden violin cases in antiques shop all the time- keep thinking about making a fly rod to fit in one

this is a much better idea

A wooden dowel works- and you should be "gun shy" of this well-prepared gentleman- as you are one of the biggest chiselers extant- betcha you'd shit your skivvies if he came to your table at the Shady Tree Hustlers and Raccoon-Tuners Gun Show with that case- not a Strad, but enough tools and gauges to detect your honed out barrels and beer can metal shims--too bad he doesn't have an acetylene sniffer-outer, for those lovely "factory original" colors you often tout- Go home Ed, you just got your ass kicked-big time..

Ed, why should not the buyer equip himself with the tools to as properly check the gun out as possible?

I have used cars checked by my mechanic.

I have taken a similar set of tools into a cabelas gun library and checked out a gun which they could not answer basic questions about. The staff there alowed me to evaluate the gun, which turned out to have paper thin barrels, out of time ejectors, and 2.5 inch chambers and not the 2.75 they thought.

RWTF, Your personal attack was without merit, please be civil.
And yes a dowel rod is suitable.

Tamid, great kit, and you will detect many issues or concerns with this assortment of tools.
Only additions might be a cotton ball to detect anomalies or feeler gauges.

Sweet Music

Mike

One of the better uses for the kit might be at the moment you open it. That's the time to be watching the seller's reaction when he sees the kit - impassive, pleased, gagging and eyes bulging. Each of those, and all the other reactions he might have, will tell you volumes about what he knows about the gun.
