Retro fad check in , torch edition

[Knobgoblin]

Are the early 2000s AR builds still a going concern? I got my A2 stock installed, but not really sure if I want this low lumen brick hanging on the front. Might just sell or trade.

Gotta look good for the gram. It's the only thing that matters

I got into the other thread, the one re. lights on pistols. It cost me money, what with buying a light as a result. It was the strobe feature that sold me.

Both of the AR's that I kept have handles on the top, so I never left retro.

15 years too late for these to be top of the line, 15 years to early for nerds to be building out photo-accurate builds from Modern Warfare (1). Put them in a box and dig them out when that fad hits sometime around 2040.

Aren't they good handhelds?

No, body has the mount system built in.

I do love the metal/sage green color

I think there are a few places making LED conversions for those...

There are also LED conversion for MAG lights. You do have to be careful with them, as some are quite cheap and require you change up what batteries you use.

If there is a good LED conversion for these someone might even be able to talk me into being interested. . .

This would go great with a 3 point sling.

Great, I was wondering what to do with my boxful of Wilderness Tactical ones

I'll look at anything in Ranger green.

I can't read those model numbers. I wanted to see if Surefire made their own LED retrofits (they have them for quite a few models it seems).

You wold need another emitter. Regular LEDs do not output much IR, but they do make IR specific LEDs. Thy do make dual emitter heads for that application, not sure if they are available for this platform though. I will go check.

Nothing direct from Surefire, but there do seem to be a few other quality drop-in replacements.

M61, M61L, and M61LL Drop-in to fit Surefire and Malkoff – Malkoff Devices

This is the Malkoff Devices P60 style Drop-in LED Conversion with solid brass heatsink construction. The LED is a White (5700K) Luminous SST-20. The output is 450 lumens. The reflector offers a very nice balance between throw and spill. It is an outstanding room lighter and short to medium...

The light seems to have good output, but the run time leaves much to be desired. I would need to look into lithium replacements for them too. . .
