Latest addition = Mini CREE light with focus width lens and strobe function - can run on AA Alkaline, NiMH, and lithium 14500 batteries. 190 - 300 lumens depending on the power source. Just the AA is pretty impressive AND I'm waiting for my 4 rechargeable lithium 14500s from eBay (it runs off 1) - US shipped but taking too long - anxious to show my wife how to clear the house so she can roll her eyes and ask me to turn the lights back on. :D

I can reach the orange 'ON' switch with my left thumb and stay firmly on the front grip. The location only catches the very tip of the barrel - shadow is not an issue. A little light goes a long way!!
 
Thanks! It's in keeping with the spirit of the project - bang-for-the-buck, effective but not throwing money. I'll post some in-use pics once I get my HOT batteries! :evil:

Speaking of pics - camera mount may be next - home fabbed for a mini vid capable point-n-shoot!
 
I got to the range tonight with an old buddy and I tried out his Rock River Arms .458 SOCOM with Eotech red dot and his RRA 5.56 AR with iron sights. I am sold, I just need a pile of money now. The .458 is a beast and kicked about like my 590A1 with low brass and the Limbsaver pad. With the price of ammo I only put about 8 rounds through it but it was shear joy. The 500 grain rounds carved some nice dirt holes behind the targets. To bad the range only permits paper targets because that would be hellish fun shooting water jugs.
 
^ Or watermelons!

Looks like a good time. I've been trying to talk myself out of a .50 Beowulf upper for a couple years now. The little devil on my left shoulder keeps bringing it up. Really the only thing that's stopped me is that the little devil on my right shoulder likes handguns better and he's a LOT more convincing...
 
I liked the 50 beuowulf and 458 socom when I shot them.

My little voice liked 492 grain, .729 caliber slugs, from a 12 gauge better :lol:

I forgot about melons, the common enemy!

You need those little guys to make peace and agree that you should have both.

Good point!!!!

My friend has a bolt action CZ in .22 LR with a barrel length suppressor waiting for his name to get to the top of the BATF's list for approval. It's been something like 6 months of waiting for all the paperwork. I'm anxious to see that puppy too.

Sounds like that is going to be a very quiet, and good gun.
 
:shock: Oooooh, daddy likes!

Man, I've got a soft spot for those triangle style handguards. Very nice Sir...
 
Welcome to the darkest corner of my basement!

Not great photos but it shows what the light does indoors. The Mini Cree is amped up with stronger Li-Io batteries and I've got the lens focused on narrow. When I walk a dark house with this I smile. tried to get the sights and scope image in - one wobbly hand on the gun and one on the camera / tripod. The BUIS is close and the scope is a bit oval but when holding it BAM! It's lit and in the sights! The color in the scope shot tells the story. I scabbed them all together into one - will set up something outdoors soon. :cool:

*LATER*

Bah!! - forget wagging the gun in front of the tripod. Here's 3 with the gun fixed in place (a bit cockeyed) and me holding the camera!! Better. :D
