This post is typical of the many people that I have taught what bore scopes find, and how their shooting improves once they clean their guns. Amazing what a very small investment will do to improve your shooting.
Following is a post on Accurate Shooter from a guy that just purchased a Teslong bore scope.
"Was looking around for a little and decided to get the Teslong Borescope. Got it in the mail and set it up. It was a little finicky with setup but mainly, first have it on and working with the camera app running then connect to the camera
wifi.
OH MAN, I am seeing the errors of my ways. From Carbon buildup, to copper buildup, to some rust on my muzzleloaders! I was just proved to be a total slacker when it comes to cleaning rifles. Luckily I do have some that aren't horrible.
Spent the rest of the night just running CLP down the barrels to oil them up and will be going to town one by one cleaning them up."
"I agree,
I bought one a year or so ago, changed up my cleaning routine and all my barrels looked great....... then I shot some of the smallest groups at 600 and short range I have ever shot. It did make a difference on target. Then I started slacking...... had a match a couple of weeks ago and shot ok..... just ok. After cleaning I decided to take a peek down the bore as one of my
Dasher barrels is now has about 1500 rounds down the tube. Guess what.... it was gross!
I am a slacker
is there a weekly meeting for that?"
The Teslong is my friend.

Highly recommend that Teslong. Will be completely revamping my cleaning routing based on that one
purchase. "

What it is showing is that these ideas that
"I run three patches of XYZ and my barrels are clean"
And
"Such and such cleaning ruins barrels"
Are just misinformation.
Nothing like seeing it for yourself on the borescope and the target. For yourself!!"
" picture is supposed to be a clean barrel at least patches were indicating a clean barrel also found what was the beginning of carbon ring.Cant find the picture after a proper cleaning.JB and Kroil was only thing that would get the carbon out!I did find pic of carbon ring or what was carbon ring "
" It is a great tool. Just don,t panic and order a new barrel.Just my two cents Tommy Mc "
