Lyman Borecam

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.

Think I got it to work.

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

[Doc Highwall]

I have one one back order at Midway myself.

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