flashlights

Yeah for sure, After I get the first 3 done and do the comparison video for you all to take a gander at you all can decide if you want to do it yourselves or if anyone is interested in doing something like a group purchase of all the required parts and doing a bunch at once.

Definitely interested in that. Keep us informed.


Also, I got my Fenix TK 35 in on Friday and it really is a nice light. Got a couple of Ultrafire 3000 mAh rechargeable batteries and charger to go with it.

I got my fenix tk21 u2 and this thing is awesome.

I tried to make a vid with my phone but it turned out shitty.

I'm thinking this would fit in nicely with one of Keith's AR build parties.

Keith, I'm sure we could get Matt to work up some more ribs. lol

I would be more than happy to help any of you guys do this to a maglite if you want it at no charge. I am not out to make a buck on stuff like this. I mean after all someone had to share the info with me to start with so to try and profit on it just does not sit right with me. Maybe if it was a shit load of work I would bit this aint a bad job.

Let me know, I have a 3 "D" cell mag light. Also several "C" 3 cell mag lights. I will bring them to you for conversion.

PM me price.

Randy

<-- Interested too.

I feel he could make a nice little side business out of these.

hook it up man.

I am going to, I am just waiting on the last shipment of stuff to get here. It is the drivers and a new glass lenses for the maglites. The stock ones are some sort of plastic and scratch easily.

I ordered from 3 different places, 2 of which are out of the country. On top of that there is one piece that has to be custom made and a mod to another piece of the stock flashlight. It is not just plug and play stuff as the entire guts of the light will be replaced or worked over. Its not nearly as complicated as it sounds but there is some level of craftsmanship that needs to be paid to get it right. I will post up all details in a new thread in a week or so after I get them all together tested out.

I carry a Pelican 7060 at work. It's okay but does not have the best run time plus it is kind of bulky. It is rechargeable and has a tail switch too.

I picked up a cheapo supposed 200 lumens light. Man it puts my 2d mag to.shame. I can't wait for the 468 lumens. The cheapo I got does have an adjustable head. No donut and lights up twice the size. I like it for 12 bucks.

I've already got the bug. I want to build a 6p next and either do the mag conversion or get the tk35.

[cobrajet69]

For a hundred bucks, that a bad Son-of-a-bitch.

Just picked one up for $95.00. Comes with 2 CR123 batteries, lanyard and holster, plus free shipping.

I also opted for a charger and two 900mAh rechargeable batteries for an extra $37.00.

$132.00 out the door.

Here's the link if anyone is interested.

They had the best prices I've found so far. They also told me about a brand called Olight. Pretty damned nice flashlight for the money.

Wow, did not know they sold rechargable/chargers for CR123s. Thanks for the info Jose...now I have something to research for the next couple of weeks. lol

Here's where I buy mine.

Yup, before I bought the rechargeable's I would use my Surefire's sparingly as I didn't want to waste expensive batteries unless I really needed it. Now I use them all the time and keep the non-rechargeable's in a storage case that goes with me when I camp in case of emergency (they have a pretty long shelf life).

Here's a link to where I bought mine. I bought mine with a 6 pack of rechargeable batteries.
