Anyone use a bore snake camera to inspect your barrel and other insides not visible without disassembly? Thinking about getting one. So many to choose from wasnt sure which are really worth the $$$.
I’ve never used one on a gun barrel. Used to work in the gundrilling industry (gundrill means deep hole, not necessarily on gun barrels, that’s where they name comes from but we never made any gun barrels- except tank barrels) and so I’ve used them quite a bit. The stuff that we had was top of the line- so pretty pricey. As far as the cheap ones you guys are talking about- I can’t imagine the picture being particularly good. Personally- all I check is the crowns on my barrels.

Does not work with iPad or iPhone, but good with Windows and Android. I took a chance on it, price was excellent. Picture clarity is good. I have used far better scopes examining turbine engines, but this one makes me pretty happy to date.
Not so much for cleaning but when buying older guns I use one of these. Inexpensive and effective enough. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0791DG4FK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
