Borescope

[Carlos Hathcock]

Wondering if anyone on here has a good borescope they'r trust me to borrow. I have a simple endoscope but I've come across something that's peaked my curiosity. I'm seeing "rings" down the barrel and want to see them from another angle that this thing cant give me. I asked this question on another forum and its turning into a shit show so don't say it's a reflection. It's not. Appreciate it.

Can you run a patch and brush down the bore to see if it changes?

Does 100 passes with JB qualify?

That bore scope is going to make you nuts.

How does the rifle shoot? If it shoots well, that's a ring of power - don't mess with it! If it shoots poorly, start shopping for a new barrel and maybe someone to blueprint the action (since its only money, right??).

My S&W Model 10 has a similar ring in the barrel. I've hit a 12" steel plate at 100 yards 6 out of 6 shots with it. The ring doesn't bother me.

Seems to shoot fine, I'm just curious. I think someone told me since it a hammer forged barrel it had something to do with the manufacturing process.

The guys over at BLUE TUNA GUNS off Military Rd in Tonawanda have a borescope. Probably $ 5 would get you a good peak at your rings and a professional opinion of just what you're concerned with.

Yeah, they're right around the corner from my work. Think I'll stop there.

So, what did the guys at BLUE TUNA say ?

Haven't had time to stop there. Millions on welfare depend on me so I have to work.
