ID of Pac BAy F guides

I would appreciate if anyone who has measured the ID of the minima F ceramic guides would post the sizes. These are listed on the same page in the Pac Bay catalog right under the new Minima guides. They are not listed on Mike Barkley's site for guide sizes. Thanks

John
God bless the troops and USA

The actual opening is 1mm smaller than the size listed. In other words, a #6 has an actual ring opening of 5mm, a #5 has an opening of 4mm, etc.

Thanks but the F guides I saw in the catalog have a ceramic ring not like the ring minima guides. PAC bAY is calling them Model F Minima/Ceramic guides on page on page 26 right under the Minima 3 and 4 guides. I got the impression that these were a smaller ceramic ring than the regular size ceramic ring. Maybe I misunterstood the catalog.

The measurements I gave are for the Minima models. I haven't had any others in my possession so I can't help with those.

Thanks for the mimima sizes. I am trying to compare those to the BLAG sizes. I just don't want to order one of each to measure and then order a set.
