surefire 6

[stew]

I bought a surefire flashlight today from the snap on guy, the flashlight turns on by turning the bezel. It says surefire 6 laser products fountain valley. Does anybody have any info on this paticular light.

Got a picture of it?

most possibly: SF 6 P
--> needs two CR123 batts

but it should turn on by pressing/turning the end cap, not the bezel
(no SF gets on/off by turning the bezel)
The only turn-bezel lights in that size I am aware of are some "superfire"s and the Streamlight Scorpion

Sounds like an early model 6P. May have had a different name, but is a Surefire. Some early SF's may have had on a twisty turn on action. Need a SF expert here, and more info from you.

It's definitly not a 6p. I will have to learn how to post pictures then I'll put it on here, unless someone wants to host them for me?

Sounds like a SureFire 6C - one of the first SureFire flashlights ever made.
I've got photos of the 6C taken by owner(s) on CPF. Email me if you'd like to see 'em.

Oh, Absolutely! I thought you were only addressing the OP. My mistake, email incoming :thumbsup:

 

[stew]

Hope this works, If it does I'll put up more.

That's a SureFire 6C

 

[stew]

The snap on guy didn't have the box anymore because it shattered, he didn't have the manual either, anyway he said he gave me a good deal on it, anybody want to guess what I paid?

 

[stew]

Cool it's a surefire 6c. I emailed size 15 for the pics he has I dont know if you got th email yet. I have no information on this light at all If anyone has any info about this light that would be great?

 

[cfromc]

That's a pretty cool light. I'd bet you could sell it, buy a new 6P and have $$ left over. Some SF collectors would probably drool over that.

 

[mossyoak]

whoa, a mint shape 6c those are old as dirt. how much did you give for it?

 

[stew]

$25

 

[Monocrom]

$25

:huh:

A Surefire collector is likely to pay far more than that for a mint 6C.

 

[KentuckyMike]

$25

Wow. Very nicely done, Stew!! A deal like that is fantastic because for your $25 investment, you now have a lot of "hobby capital." That is, you would have to make a LOT of bad deals on lights to get in the red with a deal like that sitting on your shelf.

Very cool light...thanks for sharing it (and your good fortune) with us!!

Yup...6C. Mine's in a cardboard SF box. Some came in a nifty plastic box.

That's the third 6C I know of. Unknown how many were made.

I'm just glad the snap on guy had no idea of it's value.
