Remington Bore Light Review

Remington Bore Light
For five dollars it is a handy tool to have. I purchased my Remington LED Bore Light for $4.99 (now $13.80). For that price you can't expect too much, but I was pleasantly surprised. The bore light casing seems to be made from a good quality plastic material. It comes with two illumination attachments, one straight light and one light curved at a 90 angle. Simply screw the attachment you want to use into the handle and push the button on the bottom to turn it on.

I use this light to inspect my revolvers, pistols, rifle and shotgun barrels and found it to be perfectly adequate for the job. Some online reviews that I've read indicated that the light was not bright enough but I do not agree with this. One thing that I like about it is the small size which allows you to maneuver at it wherever it needs to go. It is very user friendly in that way.
Since I anticipate the light to be used approximately one minute
every couple of weeks, I anticipate
it will last me last many years.
THE GOOD: Maneuverable small size, good quality product, bright light, easy to operate
THE BAD: Nothing
RECOMMENDATION: BUY

Ideal for inspecting rifle, shotgun and hand gun barrels for obstructions, rust and pitching. The soft LED eliminates intense glare which effects the ability to see copper jacket fouling in rifling and plastic shotgun buildup in barrels. Use to inspect used guns prior to purchasing for barrel imperfections, bulges, tooling marks, scratches and filings. Uses button cell batteries, included. Compact design is easy to carry in your pocket or gun cleaning kit.
Instructions
Make sure firearm chamber and magazine is unloaded. The on/off button is located at the back of the unit and is simply depressed to turn on or off. Open fire arms action and insert the light into the chamber area. Note -- with the bore light illuminating the chamber area and barrel, the firearm can be determined to be unloaded. With the light from the bore unit now illuminating the barrel, you can now safely visually inspect the firearm.
For some firearms such as over and under, side-by-side, or repeating shotguns with removable barrels, a straight light is included to better inspect chambers, forcing cones, and chokes areas of the barrels. Simply unscrew the curved light and screw in the straight light. Be sure to take precautions not to lodge or leave the boar light in the firearms barrel. And to prolong battery life, turn off light when not in use. To replace batteries, unscrew back portion of bore light and take the three button cell batteries out from the unit. Replace batteries with three buttons cell batteries with the positive side of the batteries facing the on/off switch.
Reviews from midwayusa.com
"This is really a nice little bore light, especially for how
little it costs. It comes with both the bent fiber optic rod as
shown in the photo, and a straight rod. The thing I like most is
that it is not very bright. Sounds funny, but it is a lower
intensity which makes it easier to see the bore. I have another
light that is so bright, it washes everything out. This is my
new favorite bore light. The construction is on the cheap side,
but hey it's cheap! It works flawlessly though. Being LED should
make the battery last awhile as well. The button on the end is
click on/click off, not momentary.
