The Real Avid Magnetic Bore Light is a compact inspection light with a magnetic mount for examining the bore, chamber, and firearm mechanism.
The Real Avid Magnetic Bore Light is a compact inspection light with a magnetic mount for examining the bore, chamber, and firearm mechanism. The updated model’s brightness is set high enough for thorough bore inspection, while helping to avoid uncomfortable glare from metal surfaces. Suitable for use For visual inspection of the bore To illuminate the chamber To check hard-to-see areas of the bolt and firearm mechanism To assess cleaning results To find dirt and visible residues For maintenance of rifles, shotguns, and handguns For home firearm maintenance For use on a gunsmith’s workbench For initial inspection of collectible firearms For users who want to keep both hands free during maintenance Why choose the Real Avid Magnetic Bore Light? Brightness optimized for bore inspection Reinforced magnet in a hexagonal body Allows attachment to any suitable steel surface More durable on/off switch Compact and easy to store Operates on a widely available AAA battery Suitable for illuminating the bore, chamber, and mechanism Helps assess visible results after cleaning Magnetic mount reduces the need to hold the light by hand No separate charging cable required Technical specifications Manufacturer: Real Avid Model: Magnetic Bore Light Product type: magnetic mount bore inspection light Light source: white LED Brightness: optimized for inspecting bore interior Mount: magnet integrated into the body Body shape: hexagonal Switch: mechanical on/off switch Power source: 1 × AAA battery Battery included: no Intended use: illuminating the bore, chamber, and firearm mechanism Compatibility: maintenance and inspection of various types of firearms Included in the package Real Avid Magnetic Bore Light inspection light According to the current manufacturer’s specifications, the AAA battery is not included. Frequently Asked Questions Is the AAA battery included? No. According to Real Avid’s current product information, the updated Magnetic Bore Light operates with a single AAA battery, but the battery must be purchased separately. Does the magnet attach to every firearm? No. The magnet attaches to ferromagnetic steel surfaces, but not to aluminum, polymer, or all stainless steel alloys. Before attaching, ensure there is no sand or metal debris between the magnet and the firearm surface, which could scratch the finish. Can the light be used to check if the bore is completely clean? The light helps you spot visible soot, oil, dirt, and other residues, but it does not replace a borescope or professional gunsmith assessment. If you suspect corrosion, bulging, or mechanical damage, have the firearm checked by a specialist. Can the light be used to inspect a loaded firearm? No. Before inspection, remove the magazine and ammunition, open the mechanism, and visually and physically confirm the chamber is empty. Do not look into the muzzle of an assembled firearm. When is the Real Avid Magnetic Bore Light the right choice? The Magnetic Bore Light is a good choice when you want to quickly illuminate the bore, chamber, or mechanism during cleaning, and keep both hands free for work. The magnetic mount is especially practical near steel firearm parts or metal work surfaces. If you need a highly detailed view of rifling, corrosion, or the hard-to-see central part of the bore, consider a borescope with a camera and screen. A regular flashlight may be more versatile for general lighting, but is often harder to hold precisely in place during firearm maintenance. Recommendations Before using the light, make the firearm fully safe: remove the magazine, empty the chamber, and move ammunition away from the work area. Open the mechanism or remove the bolt if the firearm’s design and manual allow. Shine the light through the chamber or open mechanism and avoid looking into the bore from the muzzle end. Clean the magnet’s contact surface before attaching to the firearm. Even a small piece of metal debris or sand can scratch the finish under a strong magnet; if necessary, place the magnet on a cleaning mat or other suitable surface. The light is most useful before and after cleaning, allowing you to compare the amount of visible residue. However, it does not reveal all internal damage. If you notice unusual shadows, rust, dents, or suspect bore bulging, stop using the firearm and consult a qualified gunsmith. A compact inspection light for more precise firearm maintenance The Real Avid Magnetic Bore Light makes inspecting the bore, chamber, and firearm mechanism easier. Its strong magnetic mount, bore-optimized light, and operation with a single AAA battery make it a practical tool for any maintenance bench.
