Wow thanks for the advice on the BLF A6 it's only $33 Canadian shipped. What a deal.


Do you have the coupon code yet? Using the coupon code you can get here, the BLF A6 Special Edition is only $25 USD. Sooner or later, Banggood will "turn off" the code. I hope that has not happened already.

A separate group buy is underway for a "shorty" tube that can replace the body tube of the BLF A6. With it installed, you can run the A6 on an 18350 battery.

Nice score, I'm jelly.

Can I ask why the dollar limit?

The dollar amount is because I had purchased a Armytek prime c2 v3 from HK Equipment, his system was having problems and he was out of stock when it said more then 10 in stock. He then refunded me and the wife wouldn't let me add anymore funds to PayPal to purchase something good. I knew CPF would have my back and point me in the right direction. Very happy to find it, thanks to you all.
