Hmmm; I am going to purchase an M951 for my M4 upper and I have almost everything. What Malkoff conversion would you recommend? I have an extra CREE LED conversion on my G2 that could work, but I want something that will perform.

Direct From Malkoff
There is a small black piece inside to remove and you add the fitting ring. Was very easy to do and light has nice throw. I liked the battery life. As long as it is an M61 variant, you can use it but I recommend whatever you get is a single mode. |

The M61 is great but IMO the M61N is an even better choice because the slightly warmer tint will be more natural and it makes a big difference in how well you can discern objects outdoors.

I have one. The only reason I keep it is for the IR illumination. It tends to flicker under recoil though in my experience. I had to send it back to Surefire for warranty repair. They said nothing was wrong with it.

I just picked up a 951 at a pawn shop for $75 in great shape with the ir filter, did I do ok? And no I dont believe it is a knockoff, lets just say they bought alot of stuff from one guy, all of it was interesting.

Cheapest I have seen them go is $50, but usually they are around $80-110. |

If you don't need IR then why get a light with that capability?
