so what are you asking corey or are you just venting. My advice, if your going to be looking at ML, get yourself one of CVA's little bore lights. These are about 1 1/4" long and about 3/8" in diameter. You simply turn them on and let them slide down the bore. A little tip, the light is pretty bright so I put a piece of masking tape over mine and with a tiny hole in it to let only enough light through to examine the bore.
