But there all square yes?

Here's the old M2 which was identical to C2, only letters were different. This one has bottom rounded like early C2's had

No, the body shapes differ too

Should I decide to change the m61n out for another, what are some good options for narrow throw modules?

I think you'll find no better blend of flood & throw than your M61N; there are certainly compromises when additional throw is attempted in a relatively narrow platform such as this - if you were to cover that option, a much better selection would be a larger Malkoff flashlight - the Hound Dog.

This reminds me of when I started with CPF something like a ~couple yrs ago; I thought 'throw' was the way to go, but after a few years of using high-performance lights, I better understood the utility of having considerable flood to a beam - and now I'm a flood addict, lol. :-/

My move towards finding lights that are good for throw isn't because I want the distance per se, but because I want the tight, focused beam that is inherent to that design. I use head lights that have great flood and now want to find hand helds that are the opposite, for pinpoint lighting.

Got the M61N in and it's definitely an upgrade over the incan bulb, both in temp and pattern. Quite pleased with the upgrade.

On another note, found a second Surefire light in my C bag but this one has no markings beyond the Surefire name. Gonna try to post a photo for ID soon. Has a click tail, relatively smooth body, High/Low modes and is LED. Same length as the C2.

Very curious ... looking forward to pictures

Sadly, I have no more duffels to look through to find more toys.

Many recommend the 16650, why not 17670, what am I missing?

17670 is old format, 1600mah and barely 3A discharge.
New 16650's are the same site as 17670 but eith 2500mah capacity and can deliver 5A and sometimes even more

Yes sanyo 16650 is where its all at.

Most of mine bar 3 surefires are standard, and to be honest i prefer it that way. Granted i can not run my powerful drop ins as high on 16650 fuel, but for when i want to(not often), i can use it in a bored host.

Kinda figured it was something like that, looks like I need to step up my game and order some cells. So the AW stuff is not where it's at anymore?

How about 18650, and changes there?

 

[id30209]

Everything changed since AW factory was flooded
Keepppower 16650's are my nr.1
18650...there are so many of them now, all better than AW back then. Just look at HKJ reviews

18650- Samsung 30q are good all rounders. Sony vtc6 (vtc5a as well)also, many more of course. Just make sure Sony/Samsung/Sanyo /Panasonic /LG. But latter getting less and less I think.
A good all rounder the 10a 3500 Sanyo/Panasonic , but still recommend the 30Q over these. I am not fully up to date as not needed cells for a while.
16650- Sanyo inside, naked can be charged to 4.35v(4.2 is fine for about 90% charge). Keep power wrappers are protected button top 4.2v. As long as not using crazy quads, those will be fine for most applications.

I've been out of the hobby for quite a while, I had no idea about this.

Thank you for the info, much appreciated.

Welcome F250, hopefully a new lease of life into your classic surefires

As much as i love triples/quads, i still enjoy the nostalgic incand bulbs........fantastic!
