Re: "WARNING" Counterfeit (FAKE) Surefire SW01 Slim tail caps
Do the fakes work reliably?

To me these SW01's all look real surefire.
The internals on them are all the same as on Z41 taicaps. I have a few Z41's that came with surefire lights, that was nip. Some of them have the same internals as your "real" SW01, and some are the same as a "fake" SW01. So to me it is just a slight design change by Surefire during production. They often make changes into design, letterings and such. I might think those "real" SW01's are just earlier production and "fake" SW01's are later production.
Cant comment on Z49's. I only have one Z48 (in HA) and it looks "real"
Just my thoughts seeing pictures. Sorry. I am not connected anyhow with the seller of these. I am buying parts on the bay and MP here too, so will have to watch out.
Rat, thank you for sharing the information, details and great photos. I'm very sorry to hear about you getting ripped off and I hope the individual(s) selling these fakes get what they deserve in the end.
The seller you referred to is familiar to several of us here already. Looks like it is the same guy we discussed back in April.
. . . I think I am loosing my memory.

What a dipstick I am I feel so stupid now.
They were the weapon lights I was talking about in the post above and here you have it six months later I fell victim to the very same seller. I think I am loosing my memory.
I wonder why he was left to continue to sell fake lights & parts eBay should try and clean this type of thing up a bit. I will phone them tomorrow and ask just that.

He is probably one of the members that you don't have to worry about.
