Nice light! I have ALWAYS liked the C cell Maglites, and wish I could find one of these. I actually remember several years back seeing a new 6C Mag at Fry’s and debating whether I should buy it. But I decided against it because I figured I had enough lights. If only I knew.
Well - too many lights and some have to go. I'm going for quality rather than quantity. While this Maglite is as reliable as they come, this is one that I'm not overly attached to.
I've just listed this 5-C Maglite on 'the bay'. I'm more of a 'user' than a 'collector', and will put the funds from this toward other models/parts/purchases.
Sorry, my friend. Since bidding has started, the Bay won't let me edit the shipping location for some reason. I'd definitely be willing to ship to Canada for you though, if you are able to bid on it.
I sold a friend of mine a 2D LED Maglite that I got on Black Friday. (Of course for no more then I paid, he is a friend after all ). He was so thrilled with it, he GAVE me his old 2C Ican Mag. Said he had no use for it being that it was obsolete. I will mod it some how but boy is that form factor neat. C mags a kind of rare.
They actually made them up to 12D when Maglite was a small start up company. They would make custom sizes, so you could request what ever size you wanted. However, they never mass produced anything above a 6 cell afaik.
Keep in mind the 12D is more of a myth, but it has been confirmed that they took custom orders for any length. That along with employees who would make extra on their own time makes for some interesting maglites. For instance there is actually a 4AA mini-mag. It was never officially produced but some how it still got made.
