    i have the 6 cell and the 3 cell. 40 years ago, it was the most powerful thing out there. They used to have a large head option. And you could get a pachmyr grip for them, so your hand would not buzz if you hit something. Just don't use cheap batteries that go bad and swell up. I do need those bulbs though. Thank you for showing them to us, BA. Stay safe and stay warm

    You almost got yourself a walking stick. The police used to carry those here instead of clubs. They work really good when you hold it over your shoulder, grip it behind the bezel, shine it in someone's face so they can't see and bring the handle down over their head like a hammer 🔨.

Carbide striker end cap, Same crown upgrade, 2cell extendo, sapphire lens and Terralux 1000 lumen led upgrade. good to see others doing it, Killer light. Might upgrade to the brighter LED upgrades they have these days, But the terralux has held up well.

    I like to think of Maglite’s as the AR of the flashlight world. Super customizable, and there is a die hard maglite fan base as well as those who hate maglite. Personally I absolutely love them. Any time I need a flashlight, even if I need to go out and get a NEW flashlight, I buy a maglite. Specifically the halogen or xenon because where as LED, if it burns out (and I have had them quit on me because it’s just a circuit board and those can have problems of their own) if a traditional bulb stops working, you can fix your light just by feel. Where as things like O lights or stream lights etc. if they quit, that’s it. It’s done. You have to buy a new one. But untill then your still stuck in the dark with out a working light. But maglites, if they stop working, it can be fixed on the spot.
    I know they are not the brightest and eat through batteries compared to LED, but I personally have had LED fail on me, So has my brother and he is a correction officer on night shift when the last thing you want is a light going out. So for me just the reliability of a traditional style maglite is what I value most. If my house was burning and I could only grab a couple of the most important things my 4D cell halogen maglite is one of them. It has so many uses

      @@coolbugfacts1234 maglite has finally got off the bench and gotten back into the game with the rest of the flash light companies. They started to make led lights and are once again in the same league as some others. They got classic 4D cell ones that are led and about 1000 lumens, all the way down to pocket sized tactical lights for edc that are 200 lumens. And they sell IR lenses caps for NVG compatibility. Unfortunately they just don’t advertise like they used to so they likely won’t ever be as big as they were simply because people don’t know they are once again a modern option to choose

    I’ve done the same mod last year from a 2-D cell to 4-cell with the extension I keep in my car,
    with same mod of the LED, Bust-a-cap and Crown bezel. New gorilla glass lense. And it not only works as a weapon for self defense, all around tool but the Maglite I have was my Grandad and Fellow Marine ( 2 tours in Korea- Frozen Chosen ) His old Maglites for over 30yrs have been given New life with these mods. and I modes one for his room I’ve modded a couple of Maglite Mini with same mods. And if you can find it with your long Maglite they have a Rothco side handle attachment like a NightStick style for a full on tactical beast of a weapon.
    And I’ll be modding another old Maglite for the truck.

    Nice bro ! I *still* have my Maglite's from over the years ! I remember getting my 6D cell when I was younger & it was the best light around ! Definitely interested in these upgrades. You should find a polished "natural" 2 or 3 D cell so you can make a red,white & blue light ! I have done this before. The hardest colors to find are the "natural" silver ones but they sure come out looking great. Red head, white (natural/silver) body & a blue end cap !! Kinda expensive project but in the end.. you still have 3 functional lights and 2 that can go for the classic Red White Blue !! 'Merica !!!
