Mike Lucas Bore Guides

[sjvcon]

Well I've reached out to Mike several times through email and also DM on this site. I have not heard back. Does anyone know if he is still making Bore Guides???

 

[Kracken McGraw]

There was a thread not too far back that said he was done, but someone else said that they had got one from him too. ?.

 

[sjvcon]

He did quit making them for a time, but I'd gotten several over the last 2 years. Last one was about July last year.

I was thinking of.doing that. Really need a few Lucas Inserts though. May have to have a machinist turn some for me.if I can't get ahold of him.

Maybe measure them and give PMA a call and see what he says. They are similar.

I ordered 3 two times from Mike last year, no issues, quick delivery. Maybe something’s changed in the last 6 months, I hope not. I love his product.

PMA makes a great bore guide too, on par with Mike’s in my opinion. I have one and was very happy with it.

I use the inserts in both guides. They work but aren't exactly perfect. Can't remember which way works better but they do work OK.

I received one from Mike on February 19th this year...I pinged him 3 times, he's very busy and some of his emails get kicked out due to spam.
Good luck!

Several months ago I called him as a repeat customer. . A lady I presumed to be the Mrs. said she was sorry but he was no longer making them and had not made any for a while. I posted this and some one posted he had just ordered some. Strange.

I take back my previous comment about one insert working better than the other one. Both Lucas and PMA that I have, the inserts interchange with each other equally well. If anything, the PMA gets the edge as sometimes the Lucas will be hard to remove and the PMA always comes out easy.

Same here.

Same here.

My order came in today, I'm really impressed with the PMA quality and I ordered an extra insert so I can keep one on my brush rod too, as Jason mentioned they are interchangeable between PMA and Lucas guides.

Gone are the days of Lucas guides and Ivy rods unfortunately
