I haven’t seen this tip an there have been a couple of threads about inspection lights (thanks, I bought a Larry Light at the hardware store the other day to keep in my kit) and the bore inspection mirror (which I thought was pretty cool, wasn’t aware of such a thing) so I thought I’d ad my bore light tip. I carry a fishing bobber light with me in my wallet and I find it extremely useful for inspecting the bore when considering a rifle, especially here in CA where levers are usually zip-tied at a gun show (wishful thinking that I’ll find anything interesting at a CA gun show, however).
These little lights are about 1/8″ in diameter a little over an an inch long. They’re about $3 each and last a long time. You have to look around to find them in white, although I’ve used yellow ones without issue. Simple to click it on and drop it in the bore to inspect and doesn’t require the gymnastics of holding a borelight in the breech while trying to look down the barrel.
Just thought others might find this useful. Amazon sells 10 for $33 which is a little expensive considering that 10 is probably a lifetime supply, but I found them in packs of one or two at a tackle shop.
