Q:Can I mount a Stinger on a weapon?

A: Streamlight does not currently make weapons mounts for the Stinger. We have not thoroughly tested the Stinger in weapons mounted applications although limited testing has shown no problems.

How do I sight-in the laser on my M6?

There are two adjustment screws located on the laser housing (elevation and windage). There is only one distance where the bullet path will coincide with the laser. On a normal weapon, the sights are mounted above the bore line and are adjusted to look slightly down with relation to the bore line. When the weapon is fired, the bullet “climbs” (actually, a bullet DROPS from the bore line from the moment it first leaves the barrel, but the bore is tilted upward slightly so the bullet is physically traveling upward for a short distance), crosses the sight line, reaches its upward peak (the peak of the “mid-range trajectory” ), descends to cross the sight line a SECOND time, and after that it’s all downhill. How the sights are adjusted, along with the muzzle velocity of the bullet (a 10mm is faster than a .45, and a rifle faster yet), determine where these points occur. The user must decide how high above or below the sight line the bullet can be allowed to strike and adjust the sights accordingly. A laser is seldom mounted above the bore line. It is usually below or to the side. This means the bullet crosses the laser sight line ONLY ONCE. This point is the “zero range.” For a laser mounted below the bore, at distances less than the zero range the bullet will be above the sight line. Beyond the sight line it will be below. The bullet will deviate from the sight line FASTER WITH A LASER than with conventional sights. If mounted to the side, the bullet will also deviate to the side of the laser line as well free video poker how to play backgammon no deposit bonus online casino 888 no download casino play roulette craps game black jack download american roulette play video poker baccarat free casino game no download online casino free money on line casino wagering roulette online online casino betting free online casino slots free craps best casino roulette gambling internet casino gambling uk best casino online full pay video poker no deposit casino code best craps game black jack tournament best online casino site craps online game newest online casino free slots no download play blackjack online free dueces wild video poker black jack gambling online video poker game free casino cash no deposit video poker tutorial play free video poker how to win at black jack casino roulette casino guide how to win at roulette rules of craps casino game online real money backgammon baccarat casino online free video poker game play free video poker video poker odds video poker tournaments as up and down. In practice, an M6 on a handgun can be adjusted to keep the bullet strike within about 2″ high and 2″ low out to about 100 feet, which is better than most people, and a lot of guns, can shoot.

My M6 seems to fit extremely tightly when I place it on a weapon other than a Glock. Is the M6 defective?

The M6 is designed for use on a Glock mounting-rail. Some weapons employ the dimensions and specifications of the Glock mounting rail while other weapons conform to the MIL-STD-1913 (Picatinny). The difference in the tolerances will affect the fit of the M6 on a weapon-mounting rail. It is important to maintain the original configuration of the M6. The mounting should not be modified as that could affect the reliability of the laser aiming system. In-house testing has shown that affixing the light to the mounting rail and allowing it to “set-up” for a few days can allow the mounting to conform more suitably. Additionally, try to fit the light onto the mounting rail without the locking-bar. If the light fits better the locking bar may need some adjustment to help improve the fit. The top of the locking bar may have a tiny amount of flash on it from the molding process. Lightly scraping this material away with a sharp knife or file should help the fit. Try not to be too aggressive at first. You may have to repeat the process several times to get a better fit. It is not necessary to remove much of the material.

Q: Do I need to condition my lead-acid battery; drain it out and fully recharge it?

A: No. Routinely running the lamp until it extinguishes will drastically shorten the life of the battery.

Q: Can the Streamlight Jr. Luxeon use batteries other than alkaline?

A: Nickel Metal Hydride AA replacement rechargeable batteries seem to work okay. However, since the Streamlight Jr. Luxeon was designed for alkalines and we cannot possibly test all of the aftermarket replacements, we cannot recommend the use of any batteries other than alkalines.

Q: Is there any way to prevent the rechargeable Ni Cd battery from developing a memory?

A: Research has shown that the “memory effect” is a rare phenomenon and is almost nonexistent in high-drain applications such as flashlights.

Some tips to help prolong the life of Ni Cd batteries:

  • The light should be returned to the charger when it is not in use.
  • It should never be run until the battery is completely exhausted.
  • Return the flashlight to the charger when it begins to dim.

Q: Can I use rechargeable batteries with Streamlight LED lights?

A: Streamlight does not support the use of batteries other than those specifically listed in the instructions. Normally the lamps and current regulators are designed for a specific type of battery, and using other batteries often results in poor performance, either low output or extremely short lamp life, depending on the battery types involved.

Q: Can I use the same Streamlight charge cord for different Streamlight chargers?

A: Generally yes. Streamlight charge cords use a common connector.

Q: The red light on my steady charger does not light. What could cause this?

A: First, see if there is power to the charger itself. Second, check to be sure that the flashlight is properly inserted into the charging system. If the red light still does not light the flashlight and charger should be returned to Streamlight  for repair.

Q: What causes the red LED on the Strion charger to flicker?

A: As the battery approaches a fully charged state it is normal for the charger LED to alternate between lighting steadily and blinking. This process may take as long as 15 minutes to one half hour and does not indicate a charging problem.
