Just picked it up at the Post Office this morning. Looks pretty cool but will have to wait until tomorrow to check it out.
Let us know how it goes. I ordered a cheapie off fleabay for $15 or so and I'm amazed how well it works, BUT - I've heard the Lyman works a LOTS better. Please post some photos or video of barrels.

No pics or videos yet but first two barrels were quite interesting. Both are old Winchester 92's in 32-20, one ca. 1902 and the other ca. 1907. The older rifle had severe pitting, some sections of lands were MIA. I could see some problems with this bore with the naked eye, scope merely confirmed the need for a liner. The "newer" rifle was much better but still had significant pitting. First trip down this bore I remembered that I hadn't cleaned it but now I know what lube and powder residue look like, lol. Images were very clear and well illuminated. I wish the rod was a little longer, 20 inches is too short to see the throat of a Winchester levergun without disassembling.
Trying to move images from the card to my netbook, will post if successful.

Where did you order from. I only see 'pre-order' status on Midway and Brownells.

Backordered one from Brownells a few weeks back, better price than Midway at the time.
