    Pictures from Lyman borescope

    I recently bought a Lyman borescope from Amazon for about $250. They seem to be on perpetual backorder. So if you are curious about how they work, here are some pictures. The resolution is 320x240 so don't expect a lot of clarity, but you can see the general bore condition.

    Just remember it's not a $900 Hawkeye or a $30,000 GE industrial, but it gets the job done well enough for $250.


    The big lesson I learned is that a seller's description of " shiny bore with sharp lands" as "excellent" should always be taken with a grain of salt. I buy shooters not collectibles so I'm happy with what I have.

    In order, the pictures are of the following firearms.

    Pict0028 Germanicon P38
    Pict0031 Mosin w/ hex receiver
    Pict0033 Frenchicon Mas 49/56 rearsenal
    Pict0035 Japanese T38 Arisakaicon
    Pict0039 Swedishicon M38 Mauser (Husky)

    The magnification is pretty high on the pictures so the pits might look pretty bad, but they are all good shooters.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.
