The borescope device has a tapered or expandable mandrel for fitting into the muzzle end of a weapon and a housing containing an IR phosphor covered reticle on one side of a light transparent substrate for converting an IR aiming light beam from an IR aiming light mounted on the weapon into a visible spot of light. The housing also contains a collimating optic means for collecting the IR aiming light beam. The IR aiming light beam is aligned on the IR phosphor covered reticle by adjustment of the azimuth and elevation adjustments on the IR aiming light.
