Calling all SF KL5/L5 owners.......

[jumpstat]

I bought mine from cpfer quite recently and I think it has a low SNo. number on it. I just want to know whether Surefire uses a running serial no. for each type of product or as per production and whether the number is exclusive or not. I am also trying to know the actual age of my latest love......So can you please post your SNo. and the year if you know it. Only for KL5 head.

I'll start first......

I am 99% sure they are assembled in a random order.

I am 99% sure they are assembled in a random order.

But are they exclusive number meaning one number per item?

 

[jumpstat]

There must be more L5/KL5 out there!?!

 

[flash99dark]

Hi...The number on my L5 head is AO1559 and I think? I bought it about 2years ago..William

 

[Hoghead]

KL5 #: A00640

I think I bought this when they first came out. I've had it for at least 2 years.

I think you can tell more about the age of a KL5 by the shape of the head than you can by serial numbers.

There have been threads about the different heads. You might find information with a search.

My KL5 is of the first type made. The head has one groove and then tapers down to the diameter of the L5 body. Sorry no pictures.

 

[jumpstat]

Yeah, I saw a thread discussing the difference in the head design, the crown and the centre pieces are all the same accepth the lower section that meets the body. Two variations, a tapered corner and a square corner...

BTW 0640 is a nice number IMO

 

[Danbo]

I have at least 3 of the L5s. The one I have on my desk here at work is serial # AO6412. I have no idea when it was made, as I just got it yesterday from another forumite.

 

[lightinsky]

Hi all. My KL5 # is A00879. I got it about 4 months ago.

 

[Xygen]

A03809 2006
A01995 2005

 

[Bullzeyebill]

Not sure if this counts. Bought a KL5 from Lighthound. Lighthound breaks down L5's and sells heads separately. My KL5 was bought last fall (06) and is the square corner type. SN A04104.

Hi There, is yours bought new (from the shelf) or from somebody? Noticed that you have also a small number..

Bill

Ah the first squared corner!. I'am also assuming the others here is of the tapered corner type.

 

[Bullzeyebill]

The KL5's bought after June 06, maybe a few months earlier, are the square corner type unless they had been sitting on a dealer's shelf for some time.

Bill

 

[stldnder]

KL5 serial number A06417 with square corner purchased from Surefire last month.

 

[AzGB]

KL5 square corner (purchased as a stand-alone head) from early 2006 #A05047

KL5 square corner on L5 from early 2007 #A06781

 

[jumpstat]

Keep em coming guys.... I am sure there are lots more. I could have thought that the squared corner version is the earlier version than the tapered version.

A00878

Hi FirstMain, are both the tapered version or squared version? Thanks for participating. :wave:

 

[jumpstat]

Lightinsky's and FirstMain's KL5 are very close relatives.....#A00879 and #A00878 Cool!!
