Might as well add the Black HA M2 Magnum Light to this thread.....even though it was never produced, it's still a thing of beauty...

Look! They even thought ahead to leave a space for the "T" in MagnumTLight!!Might as well add the Black HA M2 Magnum Light to this thread.....even though it was never produced, it's still a thing of beauty...

labeled M6, theres one going for $260 paypal here

I wanted another m6, but I want the latest label...not that it makes any difference
Thanks for the plug Illum the nation but after finding a FM 3x17670 holder last night I decided to keep my M6. I plan on putting in my FM MN bi pin lamp holder and an 1185 and enjoy this torch. I noticed early in this thread people talking about this style M6, is it somewhat uncommon?
Thanks for any info

I think its best if you reread the entire thread, if your picky enough to consider collecting former surefire models, you may never consider selling that M6 again
Illum the nation I was sincere about the thank you for the plug on my sale. I have read the thread and am aware what my M6 is, that's why I put it up for sale. I am more of a user and not so much a collector of unused shelf queens. I thought someone might have wanted to add it to there collection. When that didn't happen I figured it should be used for what it was born for. So unless something happen's, that's what I intend the future of this torch will be. Thank you again for the plug and the information.

DaFAB officially wins the thread with the black M2 body. Shame there isn't a matching TurboHead and tailcap, though.

I suppose he could get an anodiser to strip the HA from a turbohead and tailcap, and re-do it in HA BK? That would be uber-smart!

THANK YOU SIZE15's!!!
I couldn't find that picture...glad you posted it.
Like DM51 said... I do plan to send one of my
KT4's and M6 Tailcaps in to get them black
anodized.
It's only the right thing to do.

Actually if I did go for a complete color change, I would strip an HA M6 and have it done in Orange Anodizing...some might not like it, but I think it would look bad-***!
I wonder if I could send it back to Surefire to have it Laser Engraved again...if not, I'm sure some place could do it.
Maybe not the Surefire Logo and other brandings, but something custom:naughty:

I agree - orange would be cool. Also, I'm sure if wouldn't take a specialist laser etching machine to laser etch the reanodised finish. SureFire's HA takes a more powerful laser than is required for normal anodising from what I recall.

DaFAB - where are you getting the re-anodizing done?
Orange would be very cool...or maybe a nice shade of blue...

Nice specimen. Even nicer that you've had it since the beginning. Do you remember what year? Still have the box, etc.?
