Endoscope

[fasteddie]

I bought an Endoscope on EBAY . Thought it would be neat for looking down rifle / shotgun barrels . I tried everything and could not get the damn thing to work . Downloaded Camera Fi and it will not show the camera connected so it is pretty much worthless . It wasn't that expensive so I am not out that much . It just irks me that it doesn't work . I thought it would be a fun item . Live and learn !

Dang, sorry it didn't work. With that, you coulda even opened a side business. .........sorry just had to go there.........smile.

I'd be contacting the eBay seller. That is BS if it doesn't work. If they don't make it right, be sure to leave some negative feedback and hit em where it hurts. Good luck.

if you have the one that attaches to your phone and comes with a usb computer adaptor, mine worked but the connection is delicate make sure it is seated into the phone all the way. also try it on the pc if you haven't

it's still pretty crappy but 12 bucks wasn't a lot of dough

I've scoped a bunch of rifles and seen more as someone I know has a very good bore scope.

You'd be surprised at what you'd find in there for machining. One thing true, every poor shooting gun has had crappy rifling; ironic that a few good shooters haven't looked all that amazing either.

The better the bore, the easier it is to clean barrel; and that shows.

One of the best shooters I have is a custom with a hand lapped, air gauged barrel.....its amazing how clean the rifling is, shoots bug hole groups, and cleans up with just a few strokes.

My buddy Jason has a Hawkeye bore scope.  I've never looked at a bore with it but he has told me numerous times how interesting they can be.

I would have expected that from Pygmy . He would probably use it on himself !

Thanks . I tried everything and couldn't get it to work . I plugged and unplugged several times and also tried it with the computer . No go . The mini disc that comes with it for the computer was also worthless .

Get a chance to get a NULA under the scope I'd be curious to what you find.

Douglas barrels.......I don't know if they do anything special for Melvin but wouldn't be surprised if they kept a closer eye on the final result.  I'll try and keep it in mind next time I'm down that way.  I do know my buddy loves to break the thing out and take a peek.
