Attach it to a rail that mounts on front sling stud or rail mounted elsewhere on the gun
Bore and optics rail aren't at all guaranteed to coincide, so it can't work as a bore sighter.
I have used a pic mounted laser many times to swap optics.
Install and turn on laser.
Move dot to align with sighted optic or standard offset.
Remove optic and install new optic.
Align new optic crosshair with dot or standard offset.
You are boresighted.

I think your looking for a fight, but there are lots of ways a laser will help you get on paper, perhaps bore sight isn't the best of terms but manufacturers do make tools that they call bore sighters that aren't true bore sighters.
Check this one out from Wheeler engineering, it magnetically mounts to the muzzle.
I have used this model for years and am on paper at 100 yards every time.
I'm done, have a great day
Oh the irony!
Hey you forgot to take your ball!
Guntech posited a legit post and counter answer, and you decide to have a hissy fit?
Anyhow I would think Guntech has forgotten more than most of us know.
Not looking for a fight, looking for answers.
I can see how a laser attached on the muzzle may have some sort of a bore sighting use, but using the above picture, remove the laser on the muzzle and explain how the OP's picture of the laser in question would be used as a bore sighting device...
Hopefully the OP can post some more pictures with someone naming it...

OK, I'll bite...
It could be mounted like this, not accurate , but still on paper at 50 yards I'd bet.
I'm confused?
How did this thread turn into anything volatile?
The OP poses a simple question, which I admit I didn't answer directly. (The exact name of the device) but that's no reason for folks to get excited.
I just posited a used for a pic mounted laser similar in function to the one I use all the time (An Olight BALDR Pro).
Works like a hot damn for me.

Anyhow, back to reality and common sense. I would agree with guntech.
You might as well tie a string to the back of your receiver, run it through the center of the barrel, string it out 25-50 yards, make sure your barrel and the string is level. It will give you the same level of accuracy. In fact probably a better level of accuracy. In other words a waste of time of trying to do anything worthwhile.

I mean lasers back in the day were pretty big.
I see how an adjustable laser could be used to swap scopes if the rifle has both a scope mounted and a separate rail.
I think post 16 makes more sense as to what this laser was made for...
Question for the OP. What is the clamping fixture on this laser... the underneath... as in does it fit a scope mount rail?

A old gunsmith give that! He dont remember it was for! You see the screw to attach on the rail.
