Mag-Lite 7C

$26 @ Walmart online

I am sick , my C cell holy grail was a 6 cell , i gave up looking . 7 cell !!

I think the only option is to buy a tig welder lol.

Very nice , if you ever want to sell it …

CPF! Hey, don't feel bad, that's where the money is. It's where I take my lights if they don't sell here, LOL. Money pays the bills, nothing wrong in that.

@Foy - You are keeping it stock I imagine? How much does the light weigh without batteries in it? Just curious.

I have one just like it.

O-L is correct; no modding this guy. Been meaning to buy a scale so, not sure . . .

ps: Daym Justin, is that really 3 miles?

Wow that is huge, never knew that they made such a thing. Thanks for the pictures!

This sounds like a very rare light Foy. A nice addition to your collection. Did I see Mr Lumens frothing at the mouth when he asked if you were keeping it stock?

Wow, you can use that as a cane. Not reffering to you Foy, or that you
would requiring assiatnce walkin

You can score the 6D on Amazon $27 shipped…Comes in a few colors to

And The Highlander pulls the 7C(?) from his back scabbard to blind his opponent before beheading him. The Immortals’ EDC!

This is the first time I’ve seen a towel under one of your lights.

I want one.

I want to own one to keep in the box for another 20 years.

Who KNOWS how much it’ll be worth then!

Like so many others all I can say is WOW. Never knew they made such a thing plus it would make a great weapon.

Foy,

I bought mine I believe around 1984 or 1985 so. I bought it for a security job.

1.2 something. I messed up the photo in PSP (it’s a testament to my ongoing dyslexia and a reminder).

I bumped into a security guard that was telling all about his old 7 cell lights last year, but till now I’ve never seen larger than a 6 cell.
I own a late 80’s 5D cell maglite and a current 5D maglite.
There beasts, keep em safe and it’ll probably be worth a pretty penny in another 20 or 30 years.

ILF -

So, yours would be the same older version with no begining C in the serial number. There are other differences as well. The head o-ring on the older version rolls snug over the flashlight tube threads as you slide the head on before engaging the threads. The tail cap is a little different too.

I wonder when they made the change? I have a previous design 2C that came to me in an unopened factory box with a 1996 copyright, which means it could have been printed perhaps quite a few years after that.

I'm almost embarrassed that I find this interesting.

My oldy but goody serial code

Here’s some pictures of mine. I was right at 20yrs old or so when I believe I bought this one. I may have been a little older.


Ugh, I had been talking to a guy in WV about purchasing a 7D one from him but he has stopped replying to my emails... I guess he probably realized it was worth more than the 50 dollars I offered him for it. :'(

Apologies for my shameless necro-bump and self promotion, but one of these is on eBay now, ending next Saturday, November 18th.

(edit to say that this is a conus-only auction, so anyone outside that range might not see the ebay listing…)

No thank you! I never knew there was such a thing as a 7C Maglite. :smiley:
