Iirc Dan mentioned they´d give up on natural HA (probably because the finish looks different all the time). Unfortunatelly though.

Looks like it happened on the BOSS E-head Nat HA.

Yet the idea of a Nat HA BOSS is still intriguing, don't you think? Maybe a limited run. ;)

Absolutely Dave! Although Overeadys rather glosssy HA-natural wasn´t my favourite to be honest. Maybe they could talk to RPM, the anodizer he uses produces a really great matte HA-natural like I´ve only seen on surefires.

Yeah, 7075 did not like the natural process. The results were so bad, half the E nat head parts didn't even get made because of it. We could try changing to a different aluminum but the 7 series is really nice. Another option is finding a shop that does gray dye but such a thing would be a side side project.

How long do you expect supplies to last based on recent drops? Haven't been following on the drops lately haha. Also, what will we be looking at in terms of pricing for the 70 bodies?

We are switching up our LEDs a bit. The emphasis this batch is improved amber XPL availability.

219c will be back in a batch or two and maybe even XPLHI

Are you going to get anymore imr 18350 batteries in stock? Are there any alternatives to achieve full output?

AW's factory is still down. We are evaluating the new INR 18350 as a replacement. They can be purchased in many places already (aspire etc)

As tempting as it is, and as long as I've waited for this drop, I think I'll have to pass and hope for 219c on the secondary market or in the next run.

Think I'll wait for the next drop as well. Been wanting to pick up one of the bare aluminum ones. [emoji38]

Btw: Is it just me or does the black lanyard bead not show an image?

yes I think there's no photo embedded yet.

the 7075 imho are lightweight and ideal when on the move especially for outdoor activities; and the boss clip is by far the most secure clip.
