[QUOTE="Jlusk, post: 2528007, member: 92365"] I’m sorry to say, but bore scopes in the hands of the untrained is the manufacturer’s and shooting enthusiast’s worst nightmare. I spent a week in the U.S. Navy’s Gun Barrel Inspection School and another year working as an apprentice before I received certification to inspect naval gun barrels on my own. I’ve done inspections on match grade small arms barrel all the way through 16”/50cal battleship barrels and not one of those barrels were flawless, even when new. Manufacturing marks, fatigue cracks, pitting, scaling, metal transfer, heat checking, crazing, flame washing, copper fouling, and many other conditions were taught and tested in school and during apprenticeship before we were unleashed on the fleet to inspect barrels and be put into a position to condemn a barrel as unsafe. Unless you’re buying hand lapped match grade barrels you’ll never get a pristine barrel with absolutely no flaws, and even than the match barrel have manufacturing flaws that are deemed acceptable. If you feel that the barrel in unsafe, please send it back to the manufacturer. [/QUOTE]
