How's This for 4 Pix from a $14.00 Borescope?
Well, it is lever related, as I plan to use this "expensive" $14.00 (delivered!) device on my Savage 99 .300 Svg, Marlin 1894 .357 mag, Marlin 39M 22 LR (maybe the chamber only?) and others...
Here are some pix my twin and I snapped today -- after just 5 minutes of playing around with a $14.00 Borescope (5.5mm) with 6 LEDs from eBay ("Click Here to Activate the Link") which came in the mail this afternoon...
Here's the start of the bore: And the mid bore: The bore just before the rifling starts/chamber ends: And the chamber, with the firing pin in a "fired" state: We started this experiment using a new cleaning patch placed 1" to 2" in front of the borescope's camera & LEDs. We found you need to play with the brightness some (which is adjustable, via a switch where the camera's USB which attaches to your PC) to get the contrast correct. Once you setup a default folder for your images, taking pix is literally a snap!
I did find that you need to be careful with the cleaning patches used... The first ones I used reflected its "weave" back onto the bore -- and my twin said it was "clean pitting" we were seeing!
Anyway, by rotating the camera on its axis, and seeing the dimples move with it, I convinced him it was just a reflection (and boy, was I glad that was true!). So then I stuck a 2" patch from a white paper towel over the cloth patch (which was inserted from the opposite end versus the camera) and that left us with a nice white surface to reflect the lighting for clear images. I would actually push on the patch with the camera, very carefully, and that moved the patch back in the bore so I could then advance the camera.
I haven't played with any videos yet, but that can be done too. And I do plan to check all my leverguns sometime soon! Just to keep this posting on topic.
Overall -- NOT TOO BAD AT ALL for a $14.00 item!!!
Of course, my twin -- the cynic in the family -- now tells me: "You know... The Chinese are just using these gadgets, thanks to the loaded software you installed, to start building a database of all serious American gunowners -- so they can track you down during the upcoming invasion!"
Well, if so... Then at least I'll shoot back with a clean/known bore!!!
Tight groups!

Re: How's This for 4 Pix from a $14.00 Borescope?
That is COOL!!! I just ordered one from Amazon. It was a few dollars more than your'n though.
Nice and inexpensive toy. There were many times I could have used one while I worked as a mechanic.
I will be watching out for the Chinese invasion, I had better load a lot more ammo,just in case! LOL !!!

Out debt with China is a big cause for concern, but on the other hand they can't "urinate" us off to the point we tell them to take all their paper and put it where the sun don't shine.Chuck 100 yd wrote:That is COOL!!! I just ordered one from Amazon. It was a few dollars more than your'n though.

I'll buy one, too. That's crazy good performance for that price!
No. 7, can you tell if it will work with a Mac as well as Windows?

We got it going and used it without referring to the instructions for each step; so I guess that's a "yes" to that?!Lassiter wrote:Are the moron friendly???

Just ordered mine. Maybe a crapshoot, but I have bet a hell of a lot more and lost. I will see after getting it. I have reserved high hopes it works.

Someone mentioned commissions?!?!
