Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters What a bore scope can show you

Rather than have this get lost in the two other bore scope threads, I'll post this here.

This is a project gun I'm rehabbing....an Interarms Mark X in 30-06. I'm a sucker for an orphan gun and bought it off the used rack at a local shop.The barrel was full of goo and obviously hadn't been shot much and cleaned less, if at all. Here's what the borescope shows. Borescope used here is a 26" rigid Teslong with the red angled mirror.

#1: Chamber is to your left...you can still see the bluing in the chamber. And then there's this shiny area on the right.


#2: Going further upstream, here we are dead in the middle of the shiny band. Again, the chamber is to your left.


#3: Wading upstream a bit more, the shiny band is on your left and a nice appearing section appears ahead of it to the right...bluing reappears. Note no rifling.
