Is the Maglite 3C available in colors?

[KROMATICS]

Is the Maglite 3C available in colors? I've found the 2C and 3D in colors but not the 3C.

There's black and there is black.
There was silver a few years ago, but that went bye-bye.

I got a 3C in jade last year.

I believe that C Mags are only made in 2C, 3C and 4C now. Of the Cs I think 2Cs are the only ones that are still manufactured in colors and I'm not so sure that's true. If you can find a colored 3C it will be old stock. Not impossible. Just rare.

Krom - I picked up a dark green 3C (circa 1999) new in the package from a fellow CPF'er recently. It had to travel half way 'round the world to get here, but it was worth it. He may have more. Since I have not spoken to him about this I am not comfortable posting his ID here. PM me if you are interested. Kirk

C bodies are available in every color, as long as the color is Black.

Just like Model-T Fords!

Occasionally, they may make a colored run, I found some University of Washington Purple ones a year or so ago, and some Crimson red ones about the same time.

But they were exceptions. I think the regular production is all Black and that is all they list.

Supposedly, they make the 6D in Red, but I've never been able to find it either.

I have a 6d in red.

 

[bwaites]

Well, I know they exist now!

Bill -

CPF member MagliteSales dot com shows 12 red 6Ds on his site.

MagliteSales introduction thread.

MagliteSales red 6D.

I used Flashlight King to get my 5Cs and 6Cs.

If I think of where I got my jade 3C I'll post. Looks like Nebula has that covered though.

For the C-Cell Maglites, any color other than black is one of three things:

1) a special production run by Maglite (I believe they will do this for orders of 10,000 or more...how many of you need a Blue C-Cell Maglite?
2) a modification performed outside of the Maglite factory
3) an old stock Maglite that someone happened to luck upon

And as Icebreak stated, C-Cell maglites are only produced in 2C, 3C and 4C sizes these days.

KROMATICS -

I found it! I'm surprised it's still there after all this time. I just called Wayne and he confirmed he had that one jade 3C (dk green) available.

I'm having modamag splash anodize a mag or two for me.

 

[LEDAdd1ct]

I'd like to complete my 3C colors. I only have them because I can use them with incan mods.

I have or have en route black, blue, silver, and jade. What other colors are known to exist? I don't mean heard about, but colors in 3C which satisfy one or more of the following criteria:

1) You've seen it with your own eyes

2) You've seen or can provide a photograph

3) You can supply the model number

Inquiring minds would like to see......

—would still like a red and purple if they can be confirmed to exist. Don't want to chase phantom colors...:devil:

I had a similar thread a while back, I had a true purple next to homedepot blue/purple but never a red. Besides the red, there was a lime mag c that's super rare. There was also true blue existing.

Okay, so red 3C confirmed to exist. Is the purple in 2C or 3C? I already have two purple 2C I am trying to sell. Does 3C purple exist?

Don't you wish this was still available. I can never find any deals like this until its to late. :shrug:

 

[LEDAdd1ct]

"D" cell colors are not so hard to find...certainly easier than "C" cell colors. Keep yer eyes peeled...there is one out there with your name on it...

 

[moderator007]

Sorry LEDAdd1ct, I thought it was a 3c until I read the description. It came up on a (purple 3c maglite) google search. So did your black 2c for trade or sale. If I come across one I'll let you know for sure.

 

[LEDAdd1ct]

That's pretty funny! Yes, Google can take a little while to index you, but once Google's got you—

be prepared to be found!

I appreciate you keeping an eye out.
