I got an email today asking to take and send Him pictures of a Rifle Bore and Chamber as He wants to inspect the rifling before that He bids.
I do not know how to do that.
Can any of you explane that to me.
I ask Him to tell Me how, But have not heard back from him.

    You will need a borelight and a macro lens at a minimum.

    Google... "how to take picture of rifling" and you will find out it is not easy....

    A borescope with a video camera will give you the best results, but that is not cheap.

    You can get some images of the bore (it can be useful in showing any pitting which will show up as dark spots) using the reflected light off a white paper (or a white wall) into the chamber. Have the camera photographing from the muzzle with the rifle laying on a flat surface -- if you don't have to hold the camera, and can make fine adjustments in the positions and lighting, you may be able to get some good shots of the inside of the bore.

    It's still very difficult. He's going to have to rely on your "description" of the condition to a significant degree -- unless you have a camera equipped borescope.

    L[:p]L! Perhaps the potential bidder got the answer he's looking for when you asked him the question "how".

    Flashlight and digital camera. Keep taking them until you get a good one. I've done it a bunch of times.

    Put camera on a tripod, make sure gun is on a stable rest. focus on inside the barrel that is back lit with a bore light. Make sure camera is on flower setting..[:D]

    Well, it does appear to have been necessary to make the recommendation, at the very least.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain
