    What watch you're wearing?

    My Momemtum M1 Pro is down right now, needs a new battery, so I fired up my trusty Timex Chrono. Bought in 2000 when I got my first real I.T. job (that I still have!) Currently on a Maratac Bond Nato strap.

    GG&G Strike Bezels

    When I got my M3, it had one already on there. I don't leave it on there all the time. It does throw off the balance and of course there's divot marks in the bezel from the set screws. They generated some buzz back in the day as the cool-guy flashlight accessory to have. There's a couple...

    please point n00b to "old maglite" Xenon-to-LED conversion tips

    I got a replacement switch for a 1980's old style D-cell on here from none other than Don Keller. Not sure if he still checks in here but it's worth a shot. You could post a WTB for an old C- size one.

    please point n00b to "old maglite" Xenon-to-LED conversion tips

    Love the old Maglites, great scores! Understanding it's mostly nostalgia as there are a slew of far better lights on the market, but there's ways to make these serviceable. As far as LED conversions, LumenCraft has a pretty good selection. The Firefly module that screws over where the bulb...

    What flashlight do you keep in your vehicle?

    I had an incan Magcharger at one point, just the light with no battery or charger. It was tempting to go that route, get that module and new batteries etc but it wasn't worth it. If one already had the whole kit, that module is a great upgrade though.

    What flashlight do you keep in your vehicle?

    Went out earlier this week with a coworker. Proudly checked out the Mag Charger he has mounted in the back of his F-150. It's an incan version that he picked up on sale and asked me how to improve the performance, so I recommended @vestureofblood's LumenCraft module for it. It's still running...

    Surefire U2 Ultra

    Hey @trvc I've done an LED swap on a U2 in the thread @scalpel_ninja posted. It depends on the version of the LED. If you post a picture of the LED in the center of the reflector, it can help determine the level of effort.

    Surefire C3 E-Bay listing question

    Even though I'm not OP, I appreciate the positive response to @Alaskantinbender's question. Often times on enthusiast forums, people refer to auction site postings with genuine questions about authenticity and get dogpiled with "buyer beware, if you get burned on auction sites it's your own...

    M31 Body/Battery Options

    @fivemega makes (made?) Surefire-compatible 3P-series bodies and also Malkoff MD1 bodies. There's a couple sales threads of his, not sure what is still up for sale. Also keep an eye out for them on the secondary market. Remember Malkoff M31 series will be damaged by a Li-ion, so only CR123 at...

    Dude, that's awesome. Thanks for the link. I've always used the Zebra F-301 compact for EDC pocket carry, but I'm definitely checking that one out.

    Who else love winter camping?

    Nice! Awesome pics everyone! I've done a couple winter overnighters and it's fun gathering around the fire, cooking and staying warm. I'd like to take my son for a winter camp-out. Only one he's done so far was one we did in the summer a few years ago. It was HOT. We watch the Outdoor Boys...

    Words to Live By.

    Some sayings that I've collected at my 20+ IT programming job... "A good programmer always looks both ways before crossing a one-way street." "You don't need a parachute to skydive. You need a parachute to skydive more than once. Plan Ahead."
