    NovaTac EDC Ultimate 60

    Hey all. I recently picked up a used NovaTac EDC Ultimate 60, and I don't know much about it. I've done a search, and the history seems like it could be anything from a cheap knock off of an HDS light, to some fairly uncommon light made for the Marines, and most of the posts regarding the light...

    Weird issue with Surefire A2

    Interesting to see this thread. I just purchased a NIB A2 from the CPFMP, and it has pretty much the same issue. Occasionally, the LEDs won't come on and the light goes straight to incan. I swapped tailcaps with my other A2 and found that the problem was in the tailcap. Called Surefire, and a...

    What bodies will fit/work on a surefire 618FA or similar forend?

    I don't know if mine is the newer or older style. It has a round bezel, so I would guess it is an older style. That said, I doubt SF would change the threads on the light, so a newer version should work just as well.

    What bodies will fit/work on a surefire 618FA or similar forend?

    My model 660 classic weaponlight screws into my 618 fore end, and allows 9v operation. I did however, instaflash a P60 with that experiment. :candle: I knew better, just didn't think about it. I'd think any body that fits the classic or XM tailcaps would work. My 951 fits the same tailcap as...

    E2D head exploded, need replacement

    Contact Surefire. They sent me a brand new head for one of my E series lights due to a broken lens.

    The Flashaholic's "Must-Have" List -- Cast your vote!

    Re: The Flashaholic's "Must-Have" List -- Your Vote Needed! The Surefire E2E, or any E2 light. They're just a classic light, solid and easily carried. The SF A2 (incan) is also a favorite of mine, being a regulated incan light, along with the low level LEDs. The SF M6 is on my list also...

    E2D lens replacement

    My largest concern is the light being lost in shipping. I fully intend to repair the light myself, I'm just hoping I don't have to purchase a complete E2D head in order to get a lens.

    E2D lens replacement

    Does anyone know where I can get a replacement lens for my E2D? Surefire said it's not a user- serviceable part and won't send me one. They want me to send the entire light in to have it replaced. The light is my EDC and has too much sentimental value for me to do that. I'm still carrying it...

    Battlemugs are awesome. There are pictures out there of mugs with everything from optics to bayonets attached to the rails. :crackup:

    I need a new pair of Pants...

    Diamond Gusset Jeans! They're American made, and come in both odd and even number waist sizes. Not to mention the 'gusset' in the pants, that really does make a big difference. I bought a pair about two years ago, and still have that exact same pair, in relatively good shape. They've got some...

    Cool flashlight story of the day

    Cars, forklifts, heavy equipment, semi trucks, no matter what the project I've ran into or worked with technicians that didn't even own a flashlight. :shakehead I've got a friend at work right now with a brand new 6P he bought after using my E2, but once the batteries ran down he quit using it...

    What's a flashaholic to do? (Also, interesting paranomal story)

    I grew up not too far from the Milan plant. I remember years and years ago, you could actually feel the ground shake when they were testing some of that stuff all the way to Henderson county. :duck: Seriously, cool job. :D

    Firearms and Flashoholics

    I've got a few guns. I'd love to go to Knob Creek one year, but I haven't made it yet.

    Surefires in CPF

    I just went and counted, I have nine. There are a few more I'd like to have, but I don't need them. Then again, out of the nine I have, only three get regular use...
