    Youll shoot ya eye out! Air riffle thread

    The old 880 was a pretty good gun for the price. Very powerful will pellets. At least before everyone started selling 1000+ FPS springers. I think the 880's mechanism was also the basis for their *53 match rifles.

    Youll shoot ya eye out! Air riffle thread

    How well does that shoot for you? I'm not saying a high end BB gun is inaccurate, but I'm not aware of them ever reaching the level of pellet guns?

    WTS: Apple iPad Pro M2 12.9" 512GB wifi+5G, 6th gen, silver, brand new sealed in the original box

    Anyone want a really nice, new iPad Pro? This was shipped directly to me, from Apple, in February. It was a warranty replacement for an older iPad but by the time their senior care team actually figured out how to mail a box it was no longer needed. Completely and totally sealed and unopened...

    "Old" (?) Rechargeable Maglite

    Apparently I don't get out much.

    "Old" (?) Rechargeable Maglite

    How'd you manage that? I've never seen a incan Magcharger that had a solid beam in flood mode.

    "Old" (?) Rechargeable Maglite

    The bulb looks fine to me. You'll never get a clean flood with these. All Mag-Lites have a donut hole when they're zoomed out to a wide beam. You can improve the Pac-Man situation by centering the bulb a little better so it's not leaning to one side.

    "Old" (?) Rechargeable Maglite

    Now that I look it up I think Welch Allyn may have discontinued most of their halogen bulbs. I haven't used an incan Magcharger in anger in ten years so I'm a little behind the times. OE Mag-Lite bulbs are still available. It's a bi-pin bulb that just pulls straight out. The silver collar isn't...

    "Old" (?) Rechargeable Maglite

    The bulb pulls straight out. It should also be pushed all the way in in use--yours is hanging out in the breeze a little. The most common upgrade was to get a Welch Allyn WA01160. It cuts your battery life in half but it's around twice as bright. Although if you really care about brightness...

    "Old" (?) Rechargeable Maglite

    It's not that old, considering. That's an incandescent Magcharger (they sometimes also called it the Mag-Lite Rechargeable System) from about 2009. They made them from 1982 through the 2010s with minor changes; yours is from the second to last generation that still used a mechanical switch. Any...

    For Sale - Flashlight Classic & modern SureFire megasale G2, G2X Pro, G2Z-MV, 6P, E2D, M6, Kroma-Milspec

    It's single output. Not sure of the lumens, don't have the box. Is there a way to tell? Edit: In a dark bathroom it appears barely dimmer than the 1000-lumen setting on a Stinger 2020.

    Youll shoot ya eye out! Air riffle thread

    BB guns aren't very good for real target shooting. They'll never be that accurate, barrels can wear more quickly, and the steel BBs themselves will ricochet dangerously off any hard surface. Pellet guns are the way to go. Daisy's made the model 953/853/753 for decades as an entry-level match...

    Surefire 10x dominator rebuilds

    They must have been making bank off battery sales, or the rechargeables were seriously underperforming. They bailed right when Li-ion lights became practical. Even Mag came out with new models after that. I think the R1, UDR, and Stiletto were the only later ones?

    Surefire 10x dominator rebuilds

    Who was using 18650s in flashlights in the '90s? Outside of laptop batteries I didn't hear about those things until years later. In 1998 Surefire had the 6R, 9R, 7Z, 8X, 9N, plus turbo head versions of all those lights and various accessory kits and chargers. The 3R had been discontinued...
