Surefire C3 Serial Number Registry

[Espionage Studio]

Paladin, you got the crazy deal! I've had to drop about $150 for my 2 new C3's in 2012. Good score.

I think retail was over or around $150 apiece last I checked.

I've a 4-flat C3-HA with A13757 for serial number.

It will be interesting to establish when they transitioned from 3 flats to 4 flats. So far it appears somewhere between 8752 and 13757, that's a pretty big range though, I'm sure we can narrow it down.

And I'd like to know if your C3 has crosshairs logo. So far that seems to be inclusive to early 3 flats C3-BK lights for some reason. I don't think I've ever heard of a C3-HA light with it.

Wow! You've got seven? What have you got in them?

Er... Any chance you'd be willing to let-go of A006983 HA-Natural Older 3-Flats?
Oh well... I tried!

List is updated, should be accurate and sorry if I missed anyone (DUQ) all should be good now. Been MIA for a bit, but I try to keep on this.

Nabbed a 4 flats style C3-HA off of the marketplace from LE6920.
A020293.
I gave it a little soapy bath, dried it off, removed the lense, cleaned it and cleaned and lubed the tail threads. Then added a spair P90 from the parts bin and a couple of AW's P17500 lithium rechargeable cells, and we have all kinds of incan goodness. :thumbsup:

Everybody, just send your lights directly to James - he'll end up with them anyhow, lol.

I like that idea!
I was trying to quote you in my signature, unfortunately I didn't succeed. I'll stick to doing what i do best, grabbing up surefires

Updated again, getting complicated sorry if there are any errors. Been trying to save money lately for a McGizmo and have not been lurking on cpf as much as I would like. I still LOVE my C3. Thinking of having Oveready bore it for me
