So I was using one of my M6´s last week with the MN20 lamp and SF123´s and I accidentally dropped the light on a hard floor and poof !! the lamp exploded but not the filament. The reflector was damaged but not too badly, mostly dry glass debris all over and I cleaned the turbohead the best I could. Still, performance is not stellar and the beam´s focus not great. I´d really like Surefire to fix the light for me but I don´t know if they still support it. Last time there were no more MN21 bulbs left, but that is OK I have some lamps. any thoughts ?
 
I don't know about M6s specifically but I haven't had any luck getting older Surfires serviced or repair parts since earlier this year. Can't hurt to ask, though. I'd call since the emails are usually a blanket "no" these days.
 
I know vicv was able to get an old factory 2nd KT4 recently from the warranty department, but that was regarded as a bit of a miracle in this decade and you might not be so lucky. Can't hurt to ask them though.

If Surefire doesn't have an old spare for you, then Lumensfactory sells a KT4 replacement for like $48 that comes with both orange peel and smooth reflectors.
:au:
 
Doesn't hurt to ask, but expect a polite and realistic "No."
No one calls up Ford and asks if they have spare parts for their model T.
 
Agree on the LF KT4, not a bad idea these days to have a spare reflector or two if you want to keep running your M6 for the foreseeable future.
 
I'd also try calling.

Alternative route I'd consider is tracking down an M4 - they've been selling on the cheap in recent months. Then it's just the bulb - these are still not impossible to find [intentional double negative ;) ]

WRONG !! Surefire support showing its best yet again. I will be getting a new turbohead in 6 days!! And a new lamp to boot.

That's awesome, you should buy a lottery ticket. I'm guessing the low number of M6 owners probably kept their parts stash safe. I recently called about getting a 6P and Z2 fixed and was told they no longer had anything for them.
