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!

[Espionage Studio]

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.

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

[jamesmtl514]

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 :-)

[uhsodium]

A006217 3 flat HA

[JCD]

A009667 C3-BK 4 flats
A020166 C3-HA 4 flats

[DocHolliday1]

New to CPF, but I think I've got a good one. I always kinda wanted a C2 instead of my C3, but I think I'm glad I have the C3 now.

I think I've got a 3-flat, HA, no crosshair, A020905
but the serial number doesn't seem to go in order with what's posted so far

[DocHolliday1]

Actually saw some pictures of older ones, guess mine is one of the latest ones, and is a 4-flat

[Espionage Studio]

The list is updated once again. I have been watching some C3's on the 'Bay, man prices are really going up. Congrats to those that have these cool lights, looks like they might be getting harder to come by these days.

[JCD]

A16123 C3-BK four flats

[tobrien]

I've got A025394: C3-HA natural with new logo

I think it's technically 3 flats because it has three totally flat sides but I can post a pic if need be

[jamesmtl514]

A few more C3 lights to add.
Just gotta get around to it and wait for another to arrive.

In the meantime, someone...has a nice crosshair logo that wants to visit the great north.

Never saw a 3-flat with new logo, appreciate if you can upload a pic of it

You need to count the flat side under the clip as well. A025394 & new logo = 4 flats

Hey James I have never seen a cross-hair logo'ed C3 I did not think there was one ? Have you seen one ? Or are you talking about a cross-hair logo in general.

cheers

Will, read Kestrels' post #6.
I'm really surprised too!

Pics?

Wow I did not know that he had a C3 Cross-Hair. Has he ever posted a pic of it ? If so please link me to it.

I still think it is a mistake and there is no cross-hair C3's myself. I have a black C3 3x flats lower serial number than his and it’s not a Cross-hair A003509 old logo. I know some times the serial number can go off track but I do believe we would have seen one by now somewhere if they existed.

I have seen his Cross-hair C2 with a black three flats C3 but it’s not a cross-hair post #219 on the C2 thread.

If it was not an oversight by Kestrel which would be easy to do with so many lights. I think we need to get him to post a picture of it.
I would love to see one.

got it, thank you

i was being too technical on the idea of flat haha

mine is definitely 4 flats

Never saw a 3-flat with new logo, appreciate if you can upload a pic of it

sorry about that, it's a 4 flats model. I was too stringent on the idea of what constituted "flat" lol

[hron61]

older blk 3 flats with no patent numbers...A001751
newer blk 4 flats...A021035

Updated again!

Jeez, when I make a mistake you folks need to send me a PM these days.
As Rat was thinking, I must have been thinking of my C-H C2 3-flats when I wrote that about my low s/n C3 3-flats.
It's a sad state of affairs when someone else knows more about some of my lights than I do, lol.
Thanks folks,
