The Malkoff Front Porch

oh well poop. Wish I knew that before just purchasing a bored C3.

Randomly found myself on the first page of this thread and saw this pic posted by @greatscoot ...

Can anyone tell me anything about the silver head on the orange MDC body??

Is it some sort of mule? Who made? Would love a super floody low lumen head like that.

That is actually an aluminum version, I don't remember where I picked it up, but I will look.

Maybe the sandwich shoppe?

Has anyone received the Kosen FFL 5000k yet? I'd like to see some tint and beamshots!

I want to formally second this, without a joke, because...

Did anyone get one? How's it look?

Oh damn, that would be even better, as never been a fan of ti threads.

Makes me wish I had a lathe and the know-all to machine one

Incidentally I would love to see a thread of all the Malkoff history/changes/random custom parts - I love my big chunky hex head that someone once did a few runs of, and it's a bit of a shame there's not more stuff like that happening. Though what Kosen is doing is good to see

Added a Delrin grip ring to my last order. Fiddling around with it, figured out it's the absolute perfect solution for the tail of a 6P and it really helps counter the bezel-heavy character of the M61 SHO in this host. Using the stock twisty tailcap and a 2mm × 18.5mm Buna N70 o-ring under the grip ring gives tight fit while still allowing constant on.

EDIT: Linkage to grip ring

Malkoff MDC Bodyguard Grip Ring – Malkoff Devices

Delrin Grip Ring used on the Malkoff MDC Bodyguard Flashlight. It has a machined flat for the pocket clip. It will fit Malkoff MDC Heads and Bodies. It will not work on the old style bodies and heads with anodized threads. The threads must be bare on both the head and the body.

Would anyone happen to have this and a md21700 to see if this grip ring woukd work?

I want to like the 21700 body more but the lack of a clip or even a place to attach a lanyard makes it hard to justify.

So I wanted to check out the runtime for my WM61 LLLL

On a 5000mah 21700

Guys it ran 105 hours before I saw any difference in output. I have another I was comparing it to. And At 113 hours it dropped enough to end the test. Almost 5 days of continuous use. I tested this drop in with a 3500mah 18650 on low before and that ran for 11 days! So the 4L would probably run almost twice that on a 21700. Ya I'm putting this in a 21700 body and calling it a day 😁

I do have to say, of all the Malkoff products I own, the 21700 body is the most disappointing.

But, you CAN slide a Lumens Factory grip ring onto it, and then it is MUCH less likely to slip out of the hand. I run the LF grip rings on ANY Malkoff without a tricap, and it's great.

This is neat because I have an M61NLL in my 21700, assuming it'd have an absolute insane runtime. It's my "long-term emergency power outage" light, hahah.

I wanted to add an E1HT v2 to the herd but was hesitant because I swap various heads to single cell E bodies every now and then and run rechargeables. I didn't want to inadvertently fry a max 3.2v head. The answer to my presbyopic problem: Arisaka Defense. FDE = primary or LifePO4 only

 

[ilikeguns40]

I been debating on getting this exact head. I love the FDE while the E1HT is an impressive head

 

[md17]

Will the e2ht run on 1 and 2 cells?

 

[ilikeguns40]

Yeah it’ll run on a single CR123 with reduced output

 

[jarobi]

And the E2HT runs well with rechargeables in single cell bodies. I'll run a 16340 in a Malkoff MDC or Surefire E1 body, and an 18350 in a Lumens Factory single cell body. These are really versatile heads

I haven’t tested this on a Malkoff 21700 body, but I did have one on a Modlite HOG running 21700s. Might be worth a try.

Ironically enough, I ordered the duel fuel version to try and this would be my next attempt.

Love the LLLL, it is my go to hurricane drop-in here in FL.

I finally have mine up again; 3xCR123's in the SF C3:

Repair of an old SureFire C3 (three-flats)

My very first P60-type Surefire, actually; after getting on CPF I first wanted to use a Malkoff M30 & 2xAA's, which I had fun with for a while. Then an M60 & 2x AW17500, when I started with LiIon rechargeables. Later I got into the Moddoo XP-G Triples - so of course wanted the extra capacity of...

Bringing this back, because....did anyone get one of these?

Thoughts? Opinions? Descriptions? Beamshots?
