    Picatinny rail mounted laser for hunting rifle?

    This would probably cost more than what you wanted to spend, but have you ever checked out a Glare Mout? The military use to use them. I've seen them go for $500-$700 on Ebay, but directly from the manufacturer they are several thousand. I would check out Lasermax, Viridian, or Crimson Trace...

    Favorite Benchmade??

    Probably my 46-01 though I don't use it. I really like the 755MPR and my little 332AGR stays in my pocket. http://oi62.tinypic.com/31294ps.jpg

    Brightest Garage Light for My Dad

    A big THANK YOU to everyone for all the replies with great suggestions....it is very much appreciated. Gianetics, I checked out the Olights, and I found the Baton that has a magnetic tail cap, and it may fit the bill-It's hard to decide. I think I saw one with 550 lumens so that should be...

    Brightest Garage Light for My Dad

    Hey guys, my dad has had a LOT of different lights to use in his garage/shop over the years, but never has he had one that put out as much light as he needed. I gave him an 800 lumen Microfire a couple years ago, but it can be a pain too since it almost always has to be held. I'm looking for the...

    18650 Battery and Charger Recommendation

    Best 18650's & Charger for a TN36vn? Hey guys I need some help with 18650 batteries and a decent charger. I have been collecting flashlights for several years, but I have never really messed with rechargeable batteries besides the battery packs in my Microfire. The light I need them for is a...

    Tiny Lights with BIG Power

    I'm looking for the smallest, brightest, quality lights I can find. I love the little single AAA size lights, but the smaller the better. I am going to pick up an MBI but even though 500L is awesome for a light that size I wish there was a way to make the run time more than 5 minutes. 1) How...

    Microfire Warrior K3500 Batteries

    I know this thread is a little old, but I emailed Microfire at: [email protected] and they got back to me super quick. Both of my new Challengers with K2's went all but dead after 2 1/2 hours of use between both, so she asked that I send the K2's to there dealer here in the US and she is...

    Microfire Challenger L500R Battery Issues

    Hi! I recently bought a Microfire L500R Challenger and it doesn't even have 2 hours of use on it and the battery only lasts about 10 minutes after a full charge and gets very dim almost instantly. It has the blue battery pack with 3x18650 in it that are made so you can't put any others in...

    Microfire Warrior K3500 Batteries

    I have problems with my Challenger L500R battery pack also. It has the 3 18650's that you can't replace with your own. Is there any fix to this besides buying anything else from Microfire that you guys have seen? I light doesn't even have 2 hours on it. Good luck guys. J

    FOLDING KNIVES-SOG VS COLD STEEL

    SOG is way ahead of Cold Steel in my opinion. I carry a SOG "Night Vision" with an ATS-34 blade and ARC lock, and it is smoother than most all Spyderco's I own. I do agree AUS-8 steel kind of sucks, but VG-10 is what most Spyderco's are and I don't like it any better. Cold Steel have a lot of...

    Microfire tl3 anyone have it?

    As far as the quality of Microfire's, I don't think you will find any better without being a custom. I have 2 Microfire L500R Challenger's and if the other lights they make are anything like these I think you would be very happy. If you want hefty, the Challenger's are a couple pounds each easy...

    Viridian Green X5L Generation 2 pistol laser/light

    I have the Viridian C5L on my FNH Five-Seven and love it, but I do take it off sometimes if I carry it. During daylight, from my experience, even the best red lasers don't show up well in several conditions. If the sun is out at all you can't see my older Unimax in red, but the C5L shows up...

    Lion Steel VS Strider

    In my opinion, Strider knives are WAY overpriced. I've owned 6 or 7, including an SnG, RCC with reverse tanto, SMF, PT, and a couple fixed blades and the only one that cam from Strider like it should was the PT. When I bought my SnG brand new it came looking like it had been used quite a bit...
