I just wanted to know if I can bore my stock standard L1 from the Gen 6 Cree to take a higher capacity 17670 battery.
The Gen6 L1 can accommodate a battery of about 48mm long after boring. An 18500 did not fit afterwards.
A pair of 18650's and the Malkoff or Nailbender tower would be a really sick lightI need to make arrangements to send you an M4 to be bored for 18650s. PM incoming.
That's the plan :thumbsup:A pair of 18650's and the Malkoff or Nailbender tower would be a really sick light
Thanks for the heads up. I'll contact the site admin & have it corrected.the precisionworks link "PM's are disabled so please click on the "contact" page at www.PrecisionWorks"
is missing an 'm' when you click on the URL.
also I'm about to hit y'all up through the precisionworks.com page
thank you!

Mike, your light is done
Surefire E1E bored for 18350 ...
Battery tube is first bored to near net size & then reamed to 18.50mm (.7283"). Bore is then refined with a 300 grit ball hone, followed by 600 grit, and finished with 1200 grit. Honing opens up the bore to 18.52mm (.7290"). The 18mm test cells will just slide into the bore without binding but there is no wiggle room - this leaves the wall thickness as great as possible.
Certainly, $120 for 2-week turnaround or $60 with indefinite time frame.... can you do the above on my E1e body? How much??
Certainly, $48 for boring & $6 return shipping.
Exactly.Can I just ship to the addy on your website?
Thank your for your kind words. That's the first "short" Surefire that was ever bored in my shop.Still loving my 3P you bored for me.
