Good timing on the video, I'm about to do a low buck rebuild and I'm actually going to measure before I just throw rings in this time. Now I know how to use the dial bore gauge, thanks 👍🏻

Outstanding work! Still loving the videos. I don’t know if it’s just me, but, when you put the subtitles in white, I have trouble reading them. Is there any way the could have a black Highlight around them? It may just be me. But, that’s just a minor suggestion to help the viewers read it easier. Thanks for another great video! I look forward to seeing more!

Caleb - Sorry to hear that you can't read all the text. I'll try changing the font color on the next video. Thanks for input! Scott
