    Cheap USB Bore Scope?

    Anybody ever tried one of the cheap ($20'ish) USB borescope/camera/endoscopes on their rifle?
    Seems like it might work. They attach right to your smartphone, or computer, so you are not paying for a screen/reader like with a Lyman.

    One issue would be getting one with a small enough head diameter to fit down a .22, or 5.56 bore.
    The smallest I've found on line--in the sub $100 category--are 5.5mm . In theory, that would fit.

    I used this previously: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    wasnt worth keeping (bought for a project, forgot to use it), but its a decent product.

    Did you ever try it on a rifle barrel?
    Seems like it has a long focal length for inspecting a gun barrel
    From the ad:
    "the best observation distance is about 1.2Inch-2.36Inch"
