Green bore lights

What are the guys using to get that green light to light up the bores in the For Sale/Wanted forum? I may want to sell something one day.

CVA bore light. Look for one on Ebay.

 

[reddogge]

I have one that's white. Do you just shine it in the touchhole?

you drop it down the barrel.

Lighted arrow nocks. I always carry one in my pocket.

I have a couple of the brass ones with green light, but the tiny ones for arrows or fishing bobbers are cheap and fit in bores 40 cal and under.

I don't think those bore lights give you the best picture of what's going on in the bore. I have looked at bores with one of those lights and the bore looked good only later to find with a teslong camera several rust spots and a bunch of corrosion in the chamber area. Wasn't a rifle I was purchasing, one I had for 40 years.

Was thinking this earlier when I was this thread. I've had one of those brass ones for over 30 years. Smallest bore it will fit is 45 and that's only if I take the knurled ring off the top. Other cheaper and better options for smaller stuff out there nowadays.

I get the amber ones not sure I ever saw or used the green

 

[longcruise]

I didn’t see any amber. Wonder if there would be a difference in the clarity.

For me, green does a very good job lighting the bore and I can see crud or pitting on lands or grooves easily. I suspect lighter colors work better, as I find the blue light doesn't work as well -maybe in the dark tunnel of a bore it doesn't do a good job contrasting and it all looks like shadow to me.

I think Green is best on the bobber lites. I have a rubber cap the I put over the light to tone down the brightness.

I got one from Ox Yoke it works great

I remember the last time I bought some they were tough to find so I bought like 6 or 10 of them let me see if I can find out where I bought them and get back.

A local pawnshop only has green bore lights so you can’t see any minor rust. I bring my own bore light.

 

[elkhorne]

Ew to me but always ready to learn! What is it with the green light? Does it show rust or imperfections better than white lights?

 

[The Crisco Kid]

Green shows up better in the dark if the lights are used for their intended purpose, on arrows or bobbers.

Green lights were invented by used gun sellers so you can’t see rust and pitting. Get a used barrel with some light rust, try the green light, then the normal white one.
