    Got mine a day or two ago, and just gave it a try. This thing is awesome. I had no problem at all finding the gas port in an AR. Windows 10 works fine with the default Camera app. I still need to see if it'll work under Chrome. I think I need a OTG adapter so I ordered one of those for a few bucks off eBay. They're too new to know how durable they are, but it does have a 18 month warranty. So far I like it.

    Many thanks to Atblis for sharing this!

    Can you see the gas tube/gas block alignment?

    It's probably good enough. Check out the video below. The focus depth is too short. I'll try one of my other cams that had too long of a focus to look at the rifling, which may work nicely for the gas port and block

    ETA: That's me sitting on the couch trying to freehand all this. With the barrel clamped in a vise, it would go better. Also, if I were to wedge the camera a little closer to the port, that might get it in focus well to work well. Will play with it tomorrow.

    Here's a couple of gas ports. Light isn't getting up into the hole very far.

    Here's a gas block being test fit. There's a bright LED light shining in the gas tube hole. I'll have to check alignment of the gas tube & gas block on the bench, before I install the gas block. But this camera can help with the gas block & gas port alignment question.

    Turn the light down on the scope and illuminate through the gas block.

    The first two were assembled uppers. Had to grab some spare parts for the third shot.

    Lighting through the gas tube hole makes it easy to see the edges.

    Amazon is sending me a free replacement! I hope I an achieve the results others have.
    Then I realized i forgot to use Amazon Smile when I initially placed the order. Hope the Second Amendment Foundation will forgive me.

    I'll be using it for inspection before buying new and used.

    ETA: I've been noticing barrel defects that have to be factory.

    The Link in the paperwork it very old and I haven't received a reply from the link they provided "support@teslong.com" I have XP and Window 7 and a Android galaxy tab s3 tablet.
