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 
You could just use 18650s, there isn't that much of a difference between 3400 and 4500. (18650 v. 26650)
True, but I have a pile of 18650 lights and only 1 26650 light, would like another.
Nice project — love the Cs.
And @scaru: the 7Cs were mass produced, though I’m not sure what kind of quantities. (I got lucky and found 12 NIB last year.)
Yay, I’m not crazy. :party:
Also, 12 NIB? Holy crap!
I guarantee you that more words than “holy crap” came out of my mouth when I realized what I’d found.
Now, when you say found. Literally found or found being sold?
He found an old store that was selling them. (Had in a warehouse)
Out of curiosity, was it very profitable for you?
Thanks to those who bid on this auction. I kinda hate to see the old 5C Mag go, but it's going to someone who will actually use it (or mod it).
I'm not sure if the winner is a member here or not, but I'm sure it's going to a good home.
Is it just me or did it go for more than the buy it now???
i thought the BIN was $50? could be wrong…
Was it? I though it was 40 with 10 dollar shipping. I may be wrong though.
You are correct, scaru. I just threw in the 'Buy It Now' for the fun of it. All in all it was a success and it will ship out tomorrow.
I wonder who got caught up in the bidding and did that. ;)
could have been. i wasnt really interested in the light myself. if i wanted something like this, id get the bat, mase, or SF one… id actually like all three… hang them from the key ring hanger by the front door lol
congrats on the sale. quite the flip. and hope to see what the buyers intentions are with it
I usually look for watches. Yesterday I found 3 Seikos, a Titanium Citizen Blue Angels Eco, a Swiss watch I never heard of (Bitunia), a fake Tag, a fake Gucci, Armitron ladies and a really cool ladies silver pocket-watch from 1871! I have no idea who made it…there are no markings on the dial and only a S/N and what looks like an “0800” stamped inside the clamshell.
I put batteries in them (except the Citizen…the batts very expensive!) and they all worked. The watch beeps occasionally, but I just don’t know enough about eco-drive watches…yet.
Considering I paid $30.00 for all…I hope to make a tidy profit. Gotta put them on ebay to help pay for my flashaholicism!
Actually, this is one area where the older Mags (ie those without a C or D in the serial number) are apparently better than the newer ones. From what I have heard, due to their larger ID, the older C Mags can accept a 26650 without having to bore out the tube. I actually picked up a couple of older C cell Mags from Craigslist a couple of weeks ago - a 2C and a 4C. And one thing that I have been thinking about possibly doing is running the 2C with a 26650 and a Malkoff XM-L drop-in. THAT would certainly make for a nice, little light that’s pretty bright, yet has decent runtime. A 3C would probably fit 2x26650 perfectly. And you could run a ROP that is both fairly small and has somewhat decent runtime off this setup.
