Show your Rare/Unusual SureFires - Part 1

Re: Post Your RARE/UNUSUAL SUREFIRES:

LOL, thanks for getting back! The 9P is almost perfect, never really carried that one, it is kept in my flashlight "box" mostly. The (2) 6P's were always carried in holsters and are in very good shape (I do tend to take care of my "toys", I mean tools!). Right now they are in use as hosts for my Malkoff M60L's. I have M60's in 6PL's & M60LL's in yellow G2's. Helps my to keep track of what Malkoff I have in each light (I know, I'm anal! LMAO).

Re: Post Your RARE/UNUSUAL SUREFIRES:

I think Tempest is building his own rare coloured SureFire collection. We've seen several people do this over the years. See the rare SureFires change hands...

I decided a long time ago not to go down that route as I would get obsessed and it would drive me crazy not having the ones I didn't have, and bankrupt me trying to get 'em all!

So far I've been content with picking up what coloured SureFires I can find, haven't yet got the compulsion to "buy them all". No doubt it will come with time...

6Ps, on the other hand...I'm very much in the process of trying to get every variant possible

EDIT - does that mean you'll be selling your gold E1e and purple A2 after all, then :nana:

Regards,
Tempest

Here are the latest 'unusual' lights to join my Surefire collection:

An M6, temporarily hosting a KL6 with an SSC P7. (Milky built)

Another KL6, on an M3 tube, and containing a K2TFFC emitter, with an SOB 1000 converter. (Milky built)

A Milky 'Optimator' with an SSC P4 and SOB 1000.

And on top, a rare L2 Porcupine.

Glad you got your L2-PP, Donn. I was surprised to see it sitting there for so long with no takers An excellent looking rare SureFire.

Let me know if you ever decide to sell it

Tempest

I'm not aware of there being any others :thinking: But that's not to say I'm certain that it's the only one. If the purple A2s are anything to go by, there could be a few out there, but I haven't seen them.

Not a light, but I stumbled across these and picked up a pack. I think they are pretty rare. I've never seen or heard about them.

They aren't rare at all. They are supplied with each Picatinny Rail system SureFire sell.

Re: Post Your RARE/UNUSUAL SUREFIRES:

Ah, so only rare to us 'flashlight only' clients of SF. They are really nice rail covers.

Re: Post Your RARE/UNUSUAL SUREFIRES:

Lucky man. I'm close to getting two of my first unusual-colored SureFires (if you count the Winelights as unusual)

I have no idea how many of the WineLights were produced, but they certainly are good looking lights. I keep missing out on the E1Ws
