Check out Starrett. They make precision measuring tools including bore
gauges.

Well, of course the various dimensions are all inter-related. But I already
have the tools to measure the facing and have a couple of tricks I learned
from watching Everett Matson to get some idea of the chamber depth and
baffle shape, which are open and visible. The bore has always for me been
the mystery component simply because it's hardest to see and access. Hence,
my curiosity about how (or if) people who actually work with mouthpieces
measure the bore's size and shape.

Thanks,
Karl
