Surefire Refurbish?

[Solscud007]

Just out of curiosity. I know there probably isnt a large amount of SF flashlight being sent back for warranty repair. But there are some.

Does SF just throw these away? Like the guy who had his SF M6 toasted from PRC 123s. Obviously SF isnt just gonna replace the primaries carrier and call it a day.

But the rest of the flashlight could possibly be still good.

Jsut thought maybe they might have a pile of slightly used flashlights. and maybe they should sell them for parts haha.

Wonder if they have a museum of "most trashed surefires" zippo has one for with destroyed zippos sent in for repair.

SureFire just isn't set up to sell returned items.
There are different categories of returns and they do make use of some of them - they can't sell them as new (and don't sell them as used/refurbished).

This is interesting

Is it possible to tour an SF plant? That would be very cool

It may be possible to arrange a tour but the portions of SureFire's operation one can see is quite limited (turning centre, assembly, that sort of thing.

That would be awesome, might not be bad for something to raffle off as a cpf fundraiser.

Hmm im headed back to Socal next week. Maybe I can arrange a tour at the Fountain Valley headquarters? Do they even have a retail store front at their Fountain Vallehy HQ?

I think a surefire museum of all those one-off's, prototypes, and landmark lights would be one of the most kick-a__ things ever.

Yeah, but only if you can play with them.

They probably would stop that after the first aa tube protoype disappears..
