I've had this for years. Does anyone know how to replace the battery?

unscrew the large end ? maybe,
Yeah the top screws off and the battery will come out, mine recently unscrewed and fell apart in my travel box.
Have a similar light. As others suggested, unscrew the large knurled end. Remember mine requiring three watch type batteries. Easy fix.

It probably uses hearing aid or watch batteries , I have one similar which uses 2 x # 377 batteries I buy them at a pharmacy .
Removing the knurled ring does nothing. The bulb is recessed a little and won't move. Supposedly it takes a LR41 battery.
I've unscrewed the rear screw assembly and using a small punch tried to tap the battery and bulb out the front...nothing moves.
I've had it for quite a few years...oh well.
I just orderded a new bore light from Buffalo Arms.

The batteries might have leaked and corroded the brass.
It still lights, but not very bright.
The Thill bobber light is smaller in diameter and available at most stores that sell fishing equipment.
