Anyone for a bore light?

Post by Mack The Knife » Wed Sep 27, 2006 4:06 pm

My friend picked up one recently and when I saw it I asked him to get me one as well.

These are now readily available at hardware stores.

It has a flexible neck to bend the LED based light, a red dot pointer and is magnetic. It runs on 3 LR44 cells.

Cost can vary between Rs.300 odd to Rs.120.00 depending on the shop, so shop around.

What's a bore light? Is it used to look at the fouling in the bores more closely?

That and the general condition of a bore whether fouled or clean.

What would happen if a person accidentaly switches on the laser pointer and then looks down the bore :?

Take care,

I hope I never find the answer to that question.

Mack The Knife, that reminds me of the warning that goes "DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY INTO LASER WITH REMAINING GOOD EYE"!

I just got a few of those this summer, talk about a global economy now!

Actually the one I have the laser has a momentary btton and the laser diode is built into the body of it and not on the flexible head.

It's the same with this one, Mark.
