Re: Post Your RARE/UNUSUAL SUREFIRES:

Well here is my latest. Early SF Centurion HA.

Notice that it doesnt have the third flat.

Nice! C2 old style.

That actually looks like an old (original) M2. The M2 started life as what the C2 is now. The Shock Isolated Bezel was added later. I have one of these original M2's with the curved underbody...

I have a L6-PP with PK's logo on the KL6-PP. I may also have a KL6 with PK's logo. I have a few kicking about. Not sure without checking

Do you have pics of the old M2?

Re: Post Your RARE/UNUSUAL SUREFIRES:

I'm pretty certain it looks exactly like your C2. It's very dark anodised, almost brown.

Thanks for the picture of the green 12B. Would it be proper to post the website-or PM? I actually didn't know where to look.:thinking:

Im gonna take a guess and say that the second body from the left is the one you are talking about.

Hey Al, what body is this one? the one above your M2?

Re: Post Your RARE/UNUSUAL SUREFIRES:

You can hotlink that image from pk-e but please ask permission before hotlinking images from PK's site again

Yes, that's my original M2:

Although I don't believe I found the original LOTC... As you can see by the photos above (which are years old), I have a few SureFire things all over the place.

With regards to the body in the above photo. It's a proto-type Millennium Series Universal WeaponLight Universal CombatGrip Body that I call the MZ90 (rather than the MH90)
H for Housing, Z for CombatGrip

I have two and there are another couple kicking about as well.

As for my website - it's broken but the photos can be manually found.
http://www.littlefresher.co.uk/torch/photos/Pxx.jpg where xx.jpg or xxx.jpg is the number of a photo that more or less go from about 20 to 300 I think.

Actually, the body in the photo:

is different to my originl M2. The body in the photo, with it's gold ring is an very old one-off proto-type that PK has request I never show the otherside of. Of course if I say it's not interesting or worth getting excited about nobody would believe me, but believe me, I couldn't tell you whether it was an early concept of rechargeable, regulated incandescent but it isn't. In fact it's nothing of the sort.

Notice the A19-HA proto-type. One of only a few SureFire ever made...

Re: Post Your RARE/UNUSUAL SUREFIRES:

Thanks for all the great info and pics Size15's!!:thumbsup::wave:

The MZ90 is SWEEEEET looking and that M2 is Beautiful!!..oo:..

I bought a complete M-series light collection from a guy locally and he gave me an entire EXTRA bag of misc. Surefire stuff including 3 nitrolon handgun weaponlights, a 3P, the A19-HA and a bunch of other goodies I can't remember!!! I couldn't believe it!

Keep the pics coming guys!

Hopefully soon I'll have a few more to share...:devil:

Damn Tim, you always seem to ge the cool stuff. Why is it that there is a swirling vortex of Surefire stuff converging where you are? and I live in a Surefire deadzone? haha

If you want to sell one of those Nitrolon weaponlights let me know. Im looking for one.

That's funny, I keep having the same dreams too!

I was lucky two times now: one friend gave me his old SureFire 6P and then later I received an old 6Z from another buddy. Both very old (LASER DEVICES) and even with original Laser Devices batteries/lamp assemblies included!

So, we can all assume that there are many hidden gems out there!

6P Tailcap with <<OFF ON>> laser engraving
and Dimple in the knerling
on Black HA 6P Body...

I may eventually post what is engraved on the top...maybe..:nana:

Don't bother asking..sorry..

Re: Post Your RARE/UNUSUAL SUREFIRES:

Well, I don't know if it's rare, or unusual, probably neither, but I'll tell you anyways, then I have questions about it.

It's a E2 Executive, round body, twisty non LOTC, round head with teardrops and detachable clip, very light natural HAIII, serial number- A03970.

1. I know nothing about collecting, but that serial number seems low (to me), is it?
2. Can the polycarbonate lens be replaced? I see no way of removing it, and if it can't, can it be polished?

Any answers would be appreciated!
Thanks, Tony

That's rather weird...can't say I've ever felt the need to have my tailcaps marked like that before

Yes, I agree.
However, I am very glad that I was able to get this.

That's an easy one, it says:

"Look at the tailcap how to turn flashlight on"
