A big THANK YOU to Amanda and all the others at Maxtoch for working so diligently on this GB and making it happen in such a short time (compared to the usual GB times) especially considering this was a custom light and not an off the shelf item.
11/9/15
Anyone who hasnβt made the payment already needs to do so today.
Maxtoch WILL NOT be taking payments once they have the final numbers for the engraving to be put on the GB lights.
This means if you do not have your light (s) paid for TODAY you will not be able to get it.

Maxtoch informed me that due to the success of this GB, they are making up some extra lights for this buy.
The number of extra they did not give me a number on yet.
If you missed this GB or want 1 of these M24 lights, it will be a first come basis , and if we have more sign up than the number of lights remaining, then only the ones who signed up first will get them, and this will probably only last a short time.
I will be keeping everyone posted as I get more information.
10/27/15 GB OFFICIALLY CLOSED as of 10/27/15 at 9pm CST.
Anyone who does not want to pay the $2.00 for a holster, that you have ordered already, let me know if you need/want only 1 (free) holster (per light ordered).
We have reached the 80 needed to get a free holster now, and if you do not wish to buy one, I need to get your holster removed from the list.
Anyone who has ordered a light please check beside your name to confirm I have the right number of light(s) you want, the # of lights will be beside your name only 1 time, and if you have more than 1 then these will be beside any duplicate name, and the number of lights you want listed by your name 1 time.

I know it is not a lot, but if we happen to reach 80 by the deadline, everyone on the list gets a free holster with the light.
Also a (limit of 3) pressure switches, per light purchased at $5.00 each, this is about half price, for those that want them.
10/16/15

$58.50* * /// Matoch has agreed to lower the price from the original $63.50, but ONLY if we can reach the 50 minimum.

Beamshots added (XM-L2 U2 dedomed) stock driver, in thread (post #213)
9/22/15
Ok there have been a number of you asked for at least 4 amps in the GB light, WE GOT IT!!!, at least a 4 amp driver will be in the light maybe even 5, if minimum number reached.
The holster will be available for $2.00 and also the remote pressure switch for $5.00 with this GB
9/13/15
It was brought to my attention some of you may be wonderingβ¦β¦
1. Does Maxtoch accept paypal? / YES
2. Will the order have tracking? / YES / (included in listed prices in the post)
3. Any extra accessories with the light? / YES / A carry case, lanyard, a spare switch, O-ringβs, and tailcap boot.
Holster can be purchased for $2.00 and/or Remote pressure switch for $5.00 if purchased with the light in GB.
Just be sure to put which (or both) in the βremarksβ section if you want either once the GB is active.

Hey Guys,
I know the Group Buys have been going hard and heavy lately and I keep thinking they would slow down but it doesnβt appear it will any time soon so here goesβ¦β¦β¦
I have been talking to Amanda at Maxtoch (also Kronological said he will help me if I need it) and I am sure I will as this is my first time to do a GB.
With the thought of a BLF thrower in mind (although not a real small one) IT WILL THROW!!!
What I have got is the Maxtoch M24 Sniper with the XP-L HI emitter in it, using the already tried and proven Maxtoch Copper board (DTP) with it. The battery tube (flat area) will have BLF SE (Special Edition) or BLF TE (Thrower Edition) SET (Special Edition Thrower) depending on which the most preferred who wanted one of these lights. The price would be $58.50 including shipping and free tracking, if we reach 50 units.
I donβt know how many of you are familiar with the Maxtoch brand, but I can tell you as the owner of one of the M24βs with a dedomed XM-L2 U2, these are some pretty awesome throwers. They are also some extremely well built lights, for a fraction of the cost, of anything else I know of out there with the build quality.
A Few of the things I know are in (or will be in) the lightβ¦.
Of course it will have the XP-L HI emitter (neutral tint)
Driver 4 amps minimum
Copper Board
AR coated Lens
Well spaced modes HI/MED/LOW (no blinkies)
1 inch tube (scope mountable)
Double O-Rings (helps waterproofing)
Excellent threads (well cut)
Forward clicky/ Momentary On switch
The carry case included with light (although I donβt know if it will come in green or in black) the extra switch, O-rings and tailcap boot are also includedβ¦β¦.

This is with the dedomed XM-L2 U2 emitter in the one I already have.
Anyone interested please let me know, and please try to keep discussions to a minimum in this thread if you can, as I will already be having a hard time keeping up as is.
Thanks everyone and hope we can get the numbers needed for an awesome thrower.
Please Put βSEβ (Special Edition) or βTEβ (Thrower Edition) to follow the BLF, if you have a preference of lettering on the light.
And the most votes of the two will be what we go with.
