Multi color Ti bead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0crFpLhND6k&feature=youtu.be
But did you see the multi color Ti bead ...that plasma cutting video on your channel... holy cow!
A local LEO asked if anything could be done to make the Fury easier to grasp. Some drawings were done to determine the best locations for O-rings & this is what we came up with:
The tail cap & body are grooved on the lathe to secure the O-rings in position. Groove depth is identical to the depth of the existing scallops & flats so body & tail cap retain full strength. The hard ano does chip slightly when the cutter plunges through it but the O-ring covers that area.
If any members want this done to their Fury the cost is $42.
Thank you for your kind words. Why SF went from nice, grippy, knurled bodies to the current style is beyond me. Their newer lights like the P1R Peacekeeper have a small amount of body knurling (some SF bodies are now shorter because of the longer heads). Even so the tailcap is slick. Thank goodness the Z59 is still available.this is the best mod I've seen yet for the slippery Surefires.
Just finished a marathon industrial repair, 20 hours working ...
Went into the shop ... & managed to break my centering microscope ...
LOL, do you remember the Bruce Springsteen song "Atlantic City"? Here's the verse that I often think of:D'you think you're working too hard?
Well I got a job and tried to put my money away
But I got debts that no honest man can pay
So I drew what I had from the Central Trust
And I bought us two tickets on that Coast City bus
Swapping the saws was surprisingly easy as he did all the heavy work while I watched & gave advice
