I'm Not a plant, just an old Aerojet machinist with high standards when comes to machining.
I did finally get reply from Malkoff. He did Not offer replacement parts, which I found interesting, but did offer a refund. This makes me think (maybe) he's back ordered on Grade A parts, and I may have received second rate parts Btw, Originally my V6 order was "Not Available" then later that same day I received notice it was.. - If anybody would like to see the defects email me and I'll forward photos. I can't get into battery bore too deep with my phone camera. However, when viewing by eye with a weapons bore light the inside finish is shamefully bad.. IMHO

Only 2 post on this forum and both criticizing Malkoff, I'm suspecting a knucklehead or a troll.
If you've read any of the Malkoff thread on this site you'll realise that what you have doesn't come up to their usual standards, if you haven't given then time to rectify the issues before starting a new thread dedicated to it then shame on you.
I find it's always best to give people the chance to make things right before taking my frustration to the web.
I couldn't agree more. Once it's out there, it's out there. Then someone will come across this after a quick google search and say, "junk", move onto the next brand after reading the first 2 sentences of the OP, and call it a day.
My recently purchased MD4 body is roughly finished with very poor machining. Being a retired machinist it appears to me the machine tooling needed sharpening, and/or operator ran out of coolant cutting fluid - This Wildcat V6 is my first Malkoff, are all (current) MD2-3-4 bodies finished roughly? Appears ID is brush sanded inside body bores to clean-up poor machining, and/or anodize leakage during plating - My MD4 body ID at switch end and especially mid tube looks like it was machined using a paper clip for a cutter! From all the hype I've read about Malkoff poor machining was not expected after spending $170 for an American made flashlight.
