Can't seem to edit the last post. Just want to say make an offer if interested in anything.

These are still available.

They were made by Malkoff Devices for Elzetta. Not sure about the lights that Elzetta sells now. They are comparable to a Surefire 6P in size. If you'd like additional pictures, I can provide but figured you are likely familiar with the ubiquitous 6P.

Absolutely, I get that. Very frustrating when all there are in the ad are manufacturer's images or renderings.

Lastly, I have a Benchmade 570 Presidio II for sale. I am the original owner and purchased it a retail location. I carried this knife for a bit but the only mark is near the pivot on the left side handle. Factory edge is in good condition and I recommend sharpening it. When the knife is open, there is blade play. I tried tightening the pivot a couple of times but it was tight. I didn't investigate further to determine if the pivot is bottomed out or there is just a quantity of thread-locking compound to overcome. Benchmade box, pouch, and papers included with sale. The box has some damage where I removed a label. Price is $130 shipped USPS Priority Mail Insured. PayPal G&S with no mention of specific item is fine or you can send a USPS Money Order. Thanks for taking a look at my items.

Two more. Next up is a Benchmade 477 Emissary 3.5. It is in very good condition and still has the factory edge on it. I am the original owner and purchased it at a retail location. Carried this a few times and performed normal EDC tasks with it. There is a marks on the handle but the anodizing is not damaged. Benchmade box, pouch, and papers included with sale. Price is $135 shipped USPS Priority Mail Insured. PayPal G&S with no mention of specific item is fine or you can send a USPS Money Order but that will take time to process.

I have a Benchmade 470-1 Emissary for sale. It is in excellent condition with the factory edge still on it. I am the original owner and purchased it a retail location. May have cut a few pieces of paper or opened a package or two but I don't remember carrying this in my pocket for any period of time. Benchmade box, pouch, and papers included with sale. Price is $120 shipped USPS Priority Mail Insured. PayPal G&S with no mention of specific item is fine or you can send a USPS Money Order but that will take time to process. Contact me here to discuss pricing or payment options.

I have four Elzetta flashlights. Two of them are models ZFL-M60 an the other two are Bravos. These are NOT the newest Bravos with the LEDs integrated in the head. The lights for sale require an LED drop-in to function and were designed for the Malkoff M60 and two primary CR123A cells. No LED drop-in is included. No cells are included. Lights are in good condition; some marks in the anodizing but it's not damaged. Tailcaps are the silent momentary forward clicky. Due to the Malkoff M60 going out of production some time ago and not being readily available, I will include a Malkoff VME head lens kit which allow the use of any currently available Malkoff M61 and M91 LED drop-ins and probably other LED drop-ins also. I think I have some of the Elzetta FSB light mounts also. If I can find them and a buyer wants one, I can throw that in the box. Price is $85 EACH shipped USPS Priority Mail Insured. PayPal G&S with no mention of specific item is fine or you can send a USPS Money Order but that will take time to process. Contact me here to discuss pricing or payment options. I'm sure we can come to an agreement

Thank you!

I have a few flashlights and knives that I'd like to sell. Is that allowed in the For Sale area?

I have a 20" Stag barrel with a pinned F-base. I think it's their HBAR profile and it came off a Model 4 in 2014, I believe. Barrel nut, delta ring, and sling swivel included. No muzzle device but is 1/2"-28 threaded, no chrome-lining. It shot well but I got a lighter "M16" profile FN barrel for my Stag. This barrel can't have more than 500 rounds through it. I'd say it's not in great shape as this is probably the first time I've looked at it in a couple of years at least but I think it could be cleaned up and there only appears to be surface rust in a few spots. I could box it up and send it and you can take a look at it and pay whatever you think it's worth or pay the shipping or we can split the shipping. It's really doing nothing for me here and I'd be glad if it could be used somewhere else.

Yeah, I'll admit I was tempted by those Madbull licensed copies. DD told me themselves that they have no plans to release this rail or any other 308AR parts that aren't compatible with the DD5 when I first asked them about this rail and later when I wanted an M-LOK rail. Since then, I've been pestering Geissele for one of their SMR M-LOK rails every few months in hopes they see a market for them. My advice besides keeping the faith is to buy the compatible barrel nut now if you can find it. You never know if that one that finally shows up will have a barrel nut at all or if it will be the one you need.

Not sure. I'll tell you, all of the sites that I looked at when I was looking that showed them had none. No harm in asking them.

Will do. Barrel nuts might still be available separately. I had to buy the ArmaLite nut because the rail had recently been removed from an icky DPMS. I purchased a RRA nut around the same time.

Well, I bought mine years ago from a fellow member here. Still using that one on my AR-10 but looking for that perfect M-LOK rail to replace it with. I got a second one off of Gunbroker last year(?) but I gave that one to my brother for an LAR-8. I think 98Z5V bought the one you're asking about. It took YEARS for me to find the first one not including the year or so my WTB post here languished. The second was a lucky break, really found on a whim. I understand the struggle that lies ahead of you. Good luck.

I'm working on a couple of posts, have been for some time, that I think will help people. It has information that I looked for and couldn't find that some may find valuable also. They're long and have a lot of details and I just haven't put the time I need to into them. Someday. It's a way of giving back. I love the 7.62mm NATO caliber and the large frame AR platform.

It wasn't. My comment was making clear that even though I didn't understand it or think it was necessary, I did it because the community does. I'm an adult and if I felt strongly enough, could have not introduced myself and abandoned this forum. I didn't and ended up getting what I was looking for and more.

I have no desire to sell my spare DD rail at this time and have no existing plans to sell it in the future. Here is my introductory post: I thought it a little strange that it seemed so important as I really don't like anyone knowing me, or what I own, or what I do, etc. but I did it anyway and kept the shared information to a minimum. Figured you all know that I have at least a .308 AR at a minimum already, me being here and all.

Haha, in the meantime, I scored a second DD rail off of Gunbroker. Searched there on a whim and just happened to be one there.

Will do. Here's a photo of the Badger bolt catch package. It seems they designed this one to work across platforms.

Strike industries Enhanced Bolt Catch for AR-15. Used in my AR-10 for a bit.

AR-10A bolt catch removed from a DEF-10.

Badger Ordnance Enhanced Bolt Catch. Using one in my AR-10A.

I wanted to wait to post this part until I got home and checked the package, but the Badger Ordnance EBC is "for use on any M-16, AR-15, AR-10 or SR-25 style rifle". I remember that was a selling point for me. It is P/N 249-44. Below are some photos of the Badger Ordnance EBC installed. Besides being one of the few 308AR-compatible bolt catches that does what I need it to do, it also looks good. Simple and functional. Dare I say it's a little bit better than the vaunted ArmaLite bolt catch. I will continue working on the photos of the other bolt catches.

Off the top of my head: Strike Industries Enhanced Bolt Catch Battle Arms Development Enhanced Bolt Catch - Billet Seekins Precision Enhanced Bolt Catch Forward Controls ABC/R POF Enhanced Universal Bolt Catch Badger Ordnance Enhanced Bolt Catch I have some photos of the catches installed in the lower (with a L-wrench instead of a roll pin) with a magazine installed and may have taken pictures with the upper installed and bolt locked open. I think I took a group photo of all of them as well. I'll look for them and post them here. I would agree that they are not suited for long term use and a better statement regarding their operation is simply, "they functioned". My previous post was too simplistic and didn't provide context. The Strike Industries EBC was operated for about 100 rounds. The others were just tested with one to five rounds. The Badger Ordnance EBC has been installed for some 1000 rounds or so now. Some of the others have made it into other AR-15 lowers I've assembled and some I just don't prefer.
