  • Publication number: 20190391084
    Abstract: An optical, manually held testing device for firearms with one or more light-reflective mirror surfaces for at least partial insertion into an opening of the firearm. Incident light can be directed into the cavity for checking by eye the completeness of weapon cleaning. The mirror surface or surface area has a narrow and/or elongated shape. As a result, the test device can be held by one hand in the narrow opening of a cartridge chamber or a gun barrel. The narrower the tester, the easier it can be to illuminate inaccessible corners and angles inside the firearm. Because of the elongated shape of the mirror device, the available reflective surface can be made sufficiently large so that sufficient light can be reflected or refracted. By maximizing the amount of mirror surface on the tester, a correspondingly maximized amount of light can be directed into the cavity of the firearm to be examined.
