I'm still addicted to the old Maglites

Malkoff is made for P60 etc.

The one that's currently on their site out of stock just shows it compatible with their drop-ins in a Mag. So makes me wonder.

Oh I know I went to buy one and they didn't have it so I bought a 4D Mag LED instead. It seems hardly anyone can make a brighter Mag than Mag theirself in 2024.

I was not a flashaholic then but got in on that when they were 35$. It was just a great deal still have it too.

Yea, only thing I didn't like about them is that none of them said "Surefire USA" on the tailcap.

And I have never been fond of the newer style logo either.

Mine did?

Mine did?

It didn't just say "www.surefire.com"? Must have been in one of the older blister packs then.

I still have a few new in the package around here myself. Not to mention bags of switch parts, reflectors etc. I even have a couple Hard Coat anodized from one of my group buys over a decade ago lol. And one safe queen custom camouflage ano that I have yet to build out. Let's not forget how fun they were to mod, Good times!

Maglites and modding them is what got me started in the hobby.

If I remember correctly they were single 18650's.

Nice job.. Did you use a small bench mill, or all done on lathe.?

The camo ano is sweet!

I did everything on a lathe. Probably on my old Southbend I had at the time. I sold that many years ago though and bought a 13x40 tool room lathe.
