[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Surefire problem

Posted: 12/1/2009 6:38:48 PM EDT

I have a surefire 6p that I added a malkoff device to. I tried to turn it on and it would not work when depressing the tailcap nor when I turned it so it would be continuously on. I let it sit for a while then tried again and it worked fine. The batteries are relatively new so I do not think that it the problem. I have it attached to my rifle with a larue mount. Has anyone here experienced a similar problem or know what could be causing this? Thanks.

Check the connections, and do you have to use the metal "ring" Gene sells so it will make contact?

I do not think so. As far as I can tell the 6p is not a shock absorbing flashlight which requires the metal ring. Is it possible for the connections to get knocked out of whack for a second and then go back into place without me doing anything?

The first thing to do is replace the used batteries with a pair of new SF123A batteries.

Is the SureFire a standard 6P?

Change the batteries anyway to rule them out as the problem since it's the easiest thing to do on the troubleshooting list.

You did install the batteries in the correct direction right??
