    I was at a show and a guy let me borrow a tiny little flashlight. It was so small it could fit down a 22 barrel.
    It is so small that you can drop it from the muzzle and not have to open the bolt to check the bore. I would be happy with something small enough to drop down a 30 cal though. Anyone see something that small to drop down a 22?

    use a lighted nock used for archery



    The way the guy turned it on you may have hit it here. His was green.
    I think it had to have been something for use normally as something other than a flashlight.

    So Gordon had nailed it.
    I ordered one from Amazon and It came in and it is awesome.
    Small enough to drop into a 22. Just push on the green tip to turn on and pull to turn off. Essentially 6 in a package. This is great for both muzzleloader or say quickly inspecting that gun show purchase on the strapped down bolt.
    It was so bright that I took a black sharpie to it to dim it some. Pic is of it dropped into my Marlin 22 rifle

    I have an old Streamlight Stylus. It will fit my .308 barrel.

    I google checked and found they make a new one that is just as small in diameter but longer.

    I dug through my stuff and finally found the little critter I was talking about...it's not a Streamlight and it will fit a .22 barrel. It's a Coast PX7 LED Bore Inspection Light. The pin batteries (2) were dead so I replaced them and it works fine again. Amazon has them for 19.95
