The Teslong NTG100P USB Pistol Barrel Borescope will help you inspect the inside of your pistol barrel. This is a great tool to evaluate cleanliness, throat erosion, tool marks, rifling wear, chamber damage, and fouling. Go to Teslong for all your gun barrel inspection and digital borescope needs.
Brad, how were those guns shooting? I made the mistake of letting a couple of my shooting friends scope one of my best shooting Springfields. I think I have Post Traumatic Scoping Disorder yet.
They are shooting fine. I know the 686 has a massive carbon ring. I need to get after it soon. Luckily my wife doesn’t shoot many 357 mag loads so it isn’t an issue.
Here is a video of the bore of my 1911. This is uncleared after 200+ powder coated loads. I feel pretty confident that leading isn’t an issue. Accuracy is all I can ask for too.
Just finished a Lee type sizer, .358. Here is the difference in finish between the rough drilled hole above the sizing portion which is over sized as it is merely a tube the bullets pass thru. The other is after final polishing to .358.
I've had a Hawkeye for many years, they are great but just don't let any cutting fluid get on the mirror. I have only half of mine left. Hawkeye wants $75+ to fix the mirror. A Teslong is half that, and they let you see what you need. Not with quite as good of image as a Hawkeye, but plenty good enough.
Teslong 1.6.4 Android10.apk says google play is needed?
Android 10 made changes to permissions so might want to check that permission is granted to use the borescope - it is a camera and I think they are now locking them out unless permission is given. .
it isn't permissions, been through all that first and last, it just won't display the camera image on my S9+. Downloaded six different apps from Play and none of them work anymore. Tried downloading a retro version of my video/camera driver software to the phone and got virus warnings.
It took me a long time to give up my flip phone, it actually broke, so I bought a cheapy smart phone. Turns out it was cheap enough it didn't have what it takes for the apps. So I use a laptop I keep in my work room, and it runs Linux. Works fine.
Ian’s experience is a large part of why I went with the USB version. Plug it in to the computer and it works. Windows 10 does fine with it.
As for discovering things I don’t want to know? If the gun shoots well enough to meet my needs I don’t care what the bore scope shows. Why I wanted is to be able to help find out why things aren’t working. I want to see the forcing cone better. I want to see what really works on the carbon ring in revolvers. I want to see the throat in a rifle and determine if it needs to be fixed if the rifle isn’t shooting as I expected.
