    I bought a cheap one off of Amazon a few years ago,
    basically a long flexible cable with a light and camera,

    works off my cell phone, and works pretty well,


    I tossed the box, but the App on my phone that runs it is MScopes

    I bought the smaillest they had (diameter) to get it down most 22 cal bores,
    I say most cause some that were a bit crusty will not let it pass,


    resolution is good enough to see what I need to

    no,

    mine just plugs in my cell phone, and came with adapters for the various charging ports ,
    I did not get those 3 reflectors either,

    mine will allow me to dim the light if needed,

    found it, I got it thru amazon in 2017

    On an episode of Pawn Show the guy they call on to check firearms
    they're thinking of buying dropped a small object down the rifle barrel
    which lit up when it contacted bolt face. Was that something he constructed
    for himself or is it commercially available ?

    In the fishing section of Sportsmans Warehouse they sell little chem lights to put inside clear plastic floats for nite fishing. I have used them down bore of my muzzle loader.

    they are available,

    we had a couple we picked up from a vendor at a gunshow, that you basically just dropped down the bore,

    too easy to just pull the bolt and look thru the barrel, or shine a weaponslight (like you mount on a pistol) on the open boltface,

    The little objects with a light that is dropped down the bore is an item used by bow hunters
    to find arrows. Inquire at an archery supply store.
