Russell on Mar 22, 2013 - 8:40 AM The best flashlight, ever. I would hunt with nothing else. Unfortunately, my bulb finally burned out, and I lost it. If known, what size filament bulb did it use. These new led bulbs, are miserable.

Yea sorry. Then I worked out out to remove the lens and housing. Inside is a light bulb and a spare. I tested the one that was in with a circuit tester and it has a circuit so I presume it works. I may install a new switch and perhaps even add some circuitry to make these LED powered...

At 7 D cells and a 4 inch reflector it projects a really nice beam. Wide enough to light up everything in front of you in pitch black settings, and tight enough beam to light up objects hundreds of yards in front of you. I have been at lakes that were a hundred yards wide, shined this light at the other side and the trees lit up no problem. Not dull either, nice and bright. Have also lit up trees that were atop a low rolling mountain of about 200 foot climb, while also being about 200 yards away from the base of that mountain. I bought mine off of ebay a few years ago. The only thing was the leather belt, it had dried out a bit. So I used some bore butter (used for blackpowder gun cleaning) and wiped the belt with it. It brought the leather right back. After a few more applications, I just buffed it dry and let it air dry. Then a little while later, I put a coat of simoniz wax on it and buffed it out. That belt will be good for another 30 years I bet.

I have collected them for the past decade. It is fun to add all of the center extention sections from all the Sportsmen flashlights that I have and make a long, long, long, flashlight handle. When 15 sections are added, it makes an unbelievable looking flashlight. I use dummy "D" cells and 7 regular "D" batteries in order not to blow up the bulb.
