Thread: New Maxtoch Torch

50cm would be good
Allow it to come straight down the left side past scope, taped and run along stock to thumb location.
Any excess you could loop the excess and tape to stock

40cm I think.


Sent from my Browning

I'd have thought 40 was plenty... even if you mount the light slung under the barrel that should be long enough

...or maybe a curly cord?

Curly cords are pricks of things.
400-500mm should be plenty, 40m would be massive overkill

Hey Gadgetman, are the boards direct to copper mounted or still with dielectric layer?

Chris

ok... so 86 the curly cord idea

Copper board.

Ok thanks for good advice - the consensus from here and nzrimfire site is fairly clear.

Maxtoch will make cord length for the M24's pressure switch at 40cm - and a part of that 40 will be in curly cord. 40cm is plenty for normal use but the curly section will allow those who need more cord e.g. when mounting pad on longer 12gs etc to do so.

Maxtoch also bringing out a similar pressure switch for the bigger 2X. This has different threads/tailcap from the M24 - part of the weight saving for the lightweight M24. So different switch coming for the 2X - no doubt they'll standardise threads over time.

They are putting them into production straight away.

wow thats impressive! thanks for all your effort there Mr. Gripz I bet Lenser and surefire dont engage with their customers THAT directly!

How do the lightweight torches handle recoil?

I seem to remember the original maxtoch did not like being mounted on the end of a shotgun barrel - blast recoil would be very heavy there.

Boys have no probs in our squad using them on 223s and 243s - scope mounted.

So awesome, but does it mount the LED direct to the copper, like a sinkpad v2 or noctigon? Or is it like the Illumination supply ones with the silk screen behind the led?

I would assume direct to the copper, I have not taken the emitter off to inspect. It is solid copper and I'd expect the middle pad to be against the copper sub straight.

Heres some beam shots ,

Left to right : new dedomed M24, dedomed sn-2s, original sn-2 dedomed bottom = new m24 untoched. from 5 meters on the freezer so a white background.


Side by side of the m24 dedomed on the left standard on the right. Wall is a mat finish off white


Had my first failure with the dedoming , Gadget to the rescue with a replacement emmiter
