Geuzzz · February 15, 2019, 4:47pm

I have the feeling that they are trying to make a FW3U.

MascaratumB · February 15, 2019, 4:53pm

I’d take one as well

(what does the U stand for? :innocent: )

shirnask · February 15, 2019, 4:58pm

Uranium

Is the stepdown measured in half-lives? It might not need aux leds. It might glow all by itself!

Geuzzz · February 15, 2019, 5:22pm

I was thinking unobtanium

PBWilson · February 15, 2019, 5:24pm

Ahhhh! I was thinking Uranium. Right now, any material is Unobtanium!

MascaratumB · February 15, 2019, 5:30pm

That would turn the FW3_ into a great light

mortuus · February 15, 2019, 5:53pm

this thread is starting to go way off-topic now i think ? better we keep the original light talk only here or what u say ? maybe make it an other thread for other versions of the fw3 light maybe ??

P33 · February 15, 2019, 5:55pm

Yeah, exactly. Why are these signatures still so bloody long?

MascaratumB · February 15, 2019, 6:12pm

Yeah…we have projects for the next 20 years or so :smiling_imp:

Keeping this on-topic: let’s wait some more weeks to see this FW3A beauty!
For those that meet the criteria and wanna have a chance of winning one of these lights, I have an ongoing GiveAWay! Check the link in my loooong signature :smiling_imp:

teacher · February 15, 2019, 6:37pm

Yep we sure will. :+1: . I’ll have to get a second job just to keep up with the FW3_ Series.

It will indeed be a pleasure to lay hands on the FW3A.

Thanks for the opportunity in your Give Away too!!

And personally, I like your looooong sig line.
………. Especially the last link at the end.

Hi Tooreal….

Yeah, both those would make beautiful lights for sure!! :heart_eyes:

I’m acquainted with Brad Vice , their shop is less than 20 miles from my house.
I think I could get a proper sized billet from him fairly reasonably.

I have two friends that are machinist & teach that at two different vocational schools. One in my county & one in a neighboring county. They each have the latest equipment at their disposal.

When I actually get a FW3A in hand I am gonna disassemble one & take it to each of them to see what the possibility’s are. It sure can’t hurt.

Even if I had them change the internals a bit so as to eliminate the inner tube & electronic tailcap…. it would still be a beautiful light. :heart_eyes: . :+1:

All types of possibilities…… if I can get at least one of them on board.

Time will tell……

Actually not too far off the design, but there is a gent making your dreams sorta…

CRX · February 15, 2019, 6:43pm

Very nice.

saypat · February 15, 2019, 6:47pm

could someone decipher the logo and post a link to the gent making our dreams …. thanks

Rat_Racer · February 15, 2019, 6:55pm

Deadwood Custom Works, found on FB and IG. He also sells thru Recon 1 website.

teacher · February 15, 2019, 7:23pm

That is absolutely beautiful!! Thank you for sharing… :+1:

Can you share a link.

Where you from in SWFL?? I have friends in Bonita Springs, Cedar Key, Largo, & Venice.
.
Edit: Just saw the info on that light, thanks.

Edit #2: Here is a link to the DEADWOOD CUSTOM WORKS flashlights sold on Recon 1.

Cereal_killer · February 15, 2019, 7:01pm

Maybe the FW3U should be changed to the FW3DU? Just for cost savings.
Raw uranium is way more $$$ than depleted uranium.

teacher · February 15, 2019, 7:04pm

Ok if we just add that one?? To keep our options open you know….

Msan · February 15, 2019, 7:06pm

I would be down for one LH351D
