Bore scope anyone?

Once you get used to focusing the mirror, the picture image clarity is very good. That below image is pitting in the neck of my 8mm Turkish Mauser from past corrosive ammo. The bug varmint was on the monitor screen and is "pinned" down with a small sewing needle. This is with the 90 degree mirror removed about 1/4th inch from it.

Sorry to report, but no. Here is the manufacturer website.

I got the bore clean and seasoned with 50 shots. Accuracy fully restored, using H&N FTT 14.6 gr. Looks like my choke surface is somewhat rough and already starting to lead foul. Good for another few tins before needing a brush again. Also saw a minor tool ding on a land or groove that will be always be prone to collecting lead. (last two photos) No big deal, the gun plain shoots very well. 

You got that right. I once worked at a shop in the late 70's that made EB welded pressure vessels for Uncle Sam. Gradient Lens Company made the semi ridged glass fiber probes we carefully inserted into the assembly to view the interior weld penetration. They cost the taxpayers $1400. each, we broke about two a week. We kept dozens in the inventory. Really fragile back then. We had to supply a video tape of the full interior circumference of the weld for certification. 

You have enough give in the cable to rotate the probe 360 without binding up. Removing the mirror is what shows that tunnel vision look. It's useful for end viewing of subjects. I have looked at all my bores up to .338 rifle and .45 pistol. The mirror body is threaded to move in or out to achieve good focus. Mirror orientation on the flex shaft will give a different rotation view. It has a lock collar to keep it in place. I have read of others using tiny o rings to keep the mirror assembly centered in the bore. That sounds like it would be problematic in small bores to me. No plans to try that method.

Just to show the clarity of this tool, here are shots of a 7mm-08 barrel with exactly 4560 shots fired. Now I know why it stopped shooting good.

I got curious and asked Teslong customer support if a .17 cal. scope was a possibility. I got this reply today.













Dear Seven,

Thanks for contacting us.

We don't have a .17 size bore scope at this moment.

It has no economic module camera to applied for a .17 size rifle bore scope. It would be very expensive. So we don't have plan to develop it at this stage.

Thank you.

Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

That's good to know. I did not see or read about a 90 degree mirror function. Looks like forward viewing only.

I like the "born for rifle pipe inspection" sentence.
