[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 739580, member: 39764"] A Hawkeye will set you back about 800 bucks btw. I have one and it's great to use for checking your cleaning regimen. I use mine in the shop for looking in machined cavities, checking internal threads and looking inside assemblies that can't be taken apart. Great tool. I got one for the guns and I've used it for everything else but guns. Me. I wouldn't even consider lapping any barrel until I had a peek inside to ascertain, if, its actually a machine roughness or something else. The Hawkeye is great for checking throat erosion too. There are some others on the market but the Hawkeye has the smallest diameter barrel. I believe it will fit a 22 caliber (223 bore). Keep in mind, it's a precision instrument so it needs to be handled like a precision instrument but then, if you pay 800 bucks for one, I imagine you'll treat it carefully. [/QUOTE]
