$5.00 Flea-Market Find

OK I may or may not have placed a bid.

You should have done a WTS!

Hmmm... 50 dollars for a beaten up 5C maglite that would work well as a bat. Tempting. ;)

Nah, I just put that 'Buy It Now' in there for fun. Free listing anyway...

Someone's already bid a dollar on it, so it's there for the duration now.

I'll admit I was actually considering the buy it now, but I guess I'll try bidding on it.

The no shipping to Canada has prevented me bidding on this :frowning:

That is my bid!

Very nice!

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 :wink: ). 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.

I wouldn't call a C mag rare since they still produce them. 5C or 6C maglites are rare. ;)

I think there was also a 7C…

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.

I’d like a 12D. :smiley:
That is interesting.
I thought I read something a while back about the 7C being the largest produced as a promo or something.

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.

I said kind of rare, they certainly aren’t everywhere you look.

Fair enough, if anyone wants to order a 2C-4C zbattery has them.

I just talked myself into working on that 2C Mag. I’ll start right after the holidays.

Sweet, I might have to pick a 4C up, thanks.
Do you know if the tube diameter/length in stock configuration would work with 3x26650?

It depends on the 26650, but most likely not. :( The 26650s are a tad bit to thick in my experience.

I already had to bore a 2x16340 light to fit a 16650. I guess I’ll pass on the C-mag then :frowning:
