T.C. bore light batteries

[James Beardsley]

I have the light but the batteries are gone. Anyone know what size and how many it takes? It's the little brass light that they don't make anymore. Thanks, James

I have found hat the inspection light sold by O'riely's auto parts srores is cheaper than the special batteries for the T.C. light,

They are on ebay right now. Type in muzzleloader bore light in the search bar for the complete unit. 17 bucks

I have a brass bore light by CVA. It has a knurled knob on one end you twist to turn on the light. It takes two LR41 batteries I got them off ebay. But it is to large to fit down my 45 caliber rifles so I use the Thill night bobber lights that are a combination battery and light. I buy them at Walmart but Amazon sells them also. They are about the size of a pencil lead. The battery part is silver with the light on top. They come in red or green. I prefer the green but I had to buy a red one last time. They last many hours of continuous use. But I like ohio ramrods choice and am going to check it out. Good luck

I use small round mirrors purchased at the hobby store, that i glue to the end of a small piece of doweling. Slide it down the bore, then shine a light down to see the inside of the bore. The mirrors come in various sizes, and i have found some that will go down a .32 caliber bore.

I would opt for the inexpensive Thill bobber light. Probably cheaper than barreties for your T/C light.

Might have to order online, but Walmart does list the Thill Bobber Light in yellow.

I found small lights that take 1 AAA battery and the light head is the same diameter as the body (ie Straight with no bulge). They fit easily down my .50 T/C so I just drop it down and I can see the bore extremely well. I wish I could remember where I got them but I found them by just checking the flashlight section of ant store that carries them. Not exactly an answer to your Q but hope it helps others. Although you might try it. Very inexpensive.

Thanks all. I have a couple of lights on the way. Then I'll be able to tell what they take.

Might do a search for a place called "Batteries Plus" to see if there is one near you,

I bought a pack of four keychain lights with batteries at Lowes for 10 bucks and they slide right on in a 50cal barrel.

I use a Teslong bore camera. This was a .45cal. rifle I bought from Rock Island Auctions. It had been in a closet for some time and had some surface rust that came right out. The camera pics are so clear that what you would call a clean barrel still shows fouling in the corners.
