[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 1956257, member: 109113"] That sounds like excellent advice, Sir. My brother, who is a retired radiologist, is quite fond of this quote " If you go looking for trouble, you will surely find it." My interpretation of this line is that if you know you have a problem, deal with it. A borescope is an excellent tool for diagnosing your problem. If you DON'T have a problem, don't create one by rooting around in a barrel that shoots just fine. I got a borescope years ago, from Gradient Lens company. I scoped everything I could think of, including cartridge cases. ( It's great for looking for fracture lines that indicate incipient case head separation - which I have never found - burrs around flash-holes, etc.) Well, I found out pretty quickly that there's a lot of stuff to look at in guns & barrels that is not a problem. I try very hard not to make more work for myself, or get too curious about something and go down yet another rabbit-hole. [/QUOTE]
