Surefire Lego?

I recently finished these two:

A C2 Mutant with a bored and ceracoated body, McClicky upgrade, Cryos cooling bezel, Tailcap Shroud with SS-Clip and EDC+ X60-L3

c2-mutant-3.jpg


A LU10 Mutant with Z48, RPM Ti Bezel and a D36 reflector with XP-G pill (soon to be replaced with e Cree MC-E RGB pill). Could only be completed and perfected with a SW02 or SW01 fatty. Even the LU10 bodies that have enough threads to actually accept a switch will only work with a spacer ring to make contact between body and switch!

Very nice indeed! I've been wanting a lathe for a while now for projects just like this, spacers and such.

I've been using p60 springs between the body and tailcap on my L60 Legos
 
New addition to my evergrowing line of EDC's being used all the time... "E1B Backup"... XPG2, Neutral White, Reflector, 2-Mode (High/Low, 360 lumens / 10 lumens), No Memory... tactile switch (McClicky), soft boot, tiny shroud to allow for boot protection and tailstand... LX2 head instead of KX1B for sharper look... The only thing - wish it was BLACK...

Looks pretty slick! What's the tailcap you have on that one? Also did you refinish it with a glossy topcoat or something? Cool look, even if it turns out to be stock HA on there.

That is an FM Octa tail. (new product couple of weeks ago) FM says "mill spec hard anodized"
It (and the KL3 head) look glossy due to the Z2 host which is an oveready re anodized host is is very matte.
 
can you lego guys tell me what one might need to make an M952V into a regular light?

I've been seeing the tan M952V weaponlights at CPFMP and it's been real tempting, but I don't know what part(s) I would need to put the infrared/white head on a usable carry light

would I need a specific neck or adapter?

any particular body?
 
Tobrien,

The KM3 head will fit in an A21 weaponlight adapter, I'm bit sure what the voltage requirements are, but an A19 one cell extender and a standard tailcap plus 2x123a cells would work just fine. It should also fit the U2 body and would be a vampire light.

gotcha, thank you! so the A19 looks like it's much more readily available (Oveready has 'em for example). by itself is the A19 a single cell length? based on the photo at Oveready (purely eyeballing it), the A19 really does look too short to make a 2x CR123 setup. I'm assuming the head and tailcap add the necessary length?

I apologize I'm probably making this more complicated than it needs to be lol.
 
The A21 is the adapter for the head. The A19 adds one cell of length (make a 6P a 9P more or less).

The A21 would be needed to attach to the KM3 but you'd have one CR123a of length. An A19 would make it 2X123a as it was designed to run.

So you'd have; KM3, A21, A19, choice of tailcap for a two cell set up.

ohhh okay, I see. I was misinterpreting that as either/or an A21 or A19. gotcha, thanks!

Nice, so it is now like an M3?

It's not really meant to be like any other light. I set it up the way I felt I could like.

I just love the feel of the round-bodied combatlights. You can see my G2Z in the picture, I set it up with the masterpiece head a long time ago and never changed it back.
I play around with it a lot, even though to this day I have never really needed the throw it gives. It is not practical as a primary light, but I have lots of others for that. I use it around the house, bouncing the beam off the ceiling and I bring it when I go to a dark place.

So, some weeks ago I got that 9Z for a low price. It came with a new-style surefire turbohead, no original bezel. I don't have a LA to go with that head, and sure as hell am not going to buy one at a ridiculously high pricetag. I could never enjoy it without being afraid of instaflash. I only became an active flashaholic after LEDs crossed 100lm/W so I never trained myself to burn through expensive bulbs, even though incan beams are so beautiful.
Anyway the 9Z sat around unused for a while, like most of my surefire collection does most of the time. And one fine day I was in Lego mood and it struck me to build an extended runtime copy of the beloved G2ZT. I had the A20 and the masterpiece head sitting around anyway.
I was lucky to find that the masterpiece head leaves enough space for 2x17670 with an original surefire twisty tailcap, many drop-ins don't. I now have a very old tailcap on it from before surefire started to put model numbers on them. The one that reads 9Z is in good collectible condition and I want it to stay that way.
