[QUOTE="keithcandler, post: 1580537, member: 3728"] It is horrible that the unit to record on the hawkeye is $1100, the digital image is crystal clear on the hawkeye, vs the digital image on the Lyman. However, for most guys that are casual users, the Lyman is more than good enough!!! The more people that start using bore scopes, the more we will learn about cleaning methods, etc. There is always more than one way to skin a cat. A few months ago, I bought an F class barrel from a shooter in 308. The barrel had 600 rounds on it, and I was shocked that the gunsmith was selling it. I will not mention all the soaking solutions I used on the barrel. The barrel was carbon fouled from front to back. Regular scrubbing with a brush did not touch the carbon, wore out two brushes, helped just a tad. Went to work with JB on Brushes, then with a mixture of Al Oxide. I got the barrel crystal clean down to bare metal. This Krieger barrel is smooth, but the owner had a half *** way of cleaning, obviously. Throat in the barrel looked new. Gunsmith can not afford to spend 6 or more hours cleaning a barrel, better for him to put a new barrel on. Customer will learn to clean sooner or later or run out of money. The barrel is now ready for a new Chamber. [/QUOTE]
