Demi-human
maybe likes firearms a little bit…
Well...
I just got my Teslong borescope yesterday. It doesn’t sync to either of my phones or my tablet.
Of course it works just fine on the desktop computer, so I drag everything into the dinning room and set up there for the trial run...
A single white thread run through the mirror tube holds the mirror in place at the right focus length, without messy thread locker or sticky adhesive tapes.
The scope turns right on in Windows 10 “ Camera”.
I haven’t used that computer enough, other than to learn to hate windows. So I will try for some photos later. Maybe...
Ignorance is bliss.
The sound of a zipper that the barrel makes when I clean isn’t from the squeaky clean, it is because the barrel looks like a zipper down the whole thing!
It makes the pre-firelapping photos from @Nature Boy ’s lever gun look like that’s what it was supposed to be but missed.
Terrible!
And a Savage Model 12 at that!
Much of what I saw was my own abuse.
Splattered brass fragments from sloppy trimming or chamfering, sprayed like plasma through the throat and smashed into place by a few hundred rounds.
A long copper filled scratch that stretches an inch or so across two lands. Not doubt from fumbling a chromed cleaning jag.
The curious, perfectly clean portion, of about ten inches, right in the middle. Spotless and shiny.
Strange. Not a speck of anything, save for the machining marks. Those still look like a wooden board walk built in a spiral down the bore.
Then an ever increasing amount of carbon, building towards the muzzle. With random splotches of copper, I assume are from shallow areas in the land as they still have the board walk...
Culminating in a deep gouge an eighth inch from the muzzle. It looks like someone tried to start a nail in the steel, but the pock mark has been crushed to one side from bullet impact.
How that got there without crown damage, before hand maybe? I see now that the rifling button made its boardwalk over the burr.
The crown is sharp, the tool they used to put it there was a little large and left three rings in the rifling, one near the muzzle and two at the end of the tools centering pin, about an inch and a half in, seen just in front of the gouge.
No carbon ring here!
Plenty of copper here, though...
All these photos were taken AFTER a thorough, or so I thought, cleaning.
This was my alleged “premiere rifle”. It is not that well used. And supposedly “cleaned” more often and more thoroughly.
I wish I had never seen, what I can now not unsee.
Perhaps I can even point some cause as to why the ELDs wouldn’t come together. A longer bearing surface probably rides the gravel road barrel smoother...
All in, it was a pretty good investment. I wish I could have found an IPhone compatible one, but it only cost me fifty bucks to talk myself into a $600 barrel...
