think2x, that is absolutely incredible. nice work man!! is that a Budweiser nitrolon head? hahah

Dioni, we'll have 5x 18650 drop-ins one day ;)
 
I thought I would ask here:

So I have this little guy waiting on a Malkoff M61WL:

I received it as a gift somewhere around 1997. Do all of the heads and tailcaps for 6Ps still fit my old guy? I would like to put a Mclicky tail on it, but I'd like to make sure my 6P isn't too old to be compatible will all of these goodies....
 
Yeah it looks like these are the AR-15 of the flashlight world. Build one...Get some more parts here and there, then watch them multiply lol.

I put this one together a few days ago. I never liked Surefire´s Nitrolon lights, but when I saw the G3D-FYL body I thought it might work on a M3. Has a Cree XP-G dropin and a AW softstart switch in a Z58 shell.

hey man, this lego setup is one I've always admired and I wanted to ask, when you said "A surefire adapter, salvaged from a KL3." which adapter piece is that?

This setup is one I've wanted to make for myself ever since I laid eyes on it! :)

C to M adapter. KL3, KL5 heads have them from the factory. Lighthound sells the Lumens Factory C to M adapter, not sure if theirs is available in black. Sent from my PS3! Ha! I could run a mile faster!!

Even if it's not, a can of black spray paint will fix that. :)
 
Yes, the lower part of both KL3 and KL5 are c2m adapters. But they come off very very hard. It appears that Surefire had way too mich loctite to get rid of when the produced the KL3 and KL5. I´ve destroyed another KL3 in the unsuccessful effort to salvage the adapter.

@Up All Night: Why do you assume Tobrien wants a black adapter?
 
I think I can put this here. Simple and effective. Leef 18500x2 body, Z44 head, Z41 tail. Soon to be a clicky. I have a Nailbender XRE R2 drop in and a P90 incan I can run. I think 18500x2 is the perfect size. And the XRE packs a little punch.

I hadn't assumed anything. The monitor and angle I viewed the pic on made the head/collar/tail appear more black than dark H/A green/grey. Far darker than similar components I have. Opposed to the image of the LF C2M on the lighthound site, which looks almost like raw Al.

If colour is/was any part of the interest in the set-up, the LF adapter isn't going to cut it.
 
What would happen if you switched heads / tailcaps on an ED1L with and ED2L? I think I know the answer but just want to hear it.

There both true 2 mode lights ( in the head ) so I would think the tail caps would be Identical.
 
Not really an original lego but it's what's inside that makes this unique. Just got the L1 body back from Barry at Precision Works. I had damaged the driver trying to take it out of the body (another story) so I sent the L1 to Barry to have it bored out for 18mm. Now I can run primaries or a variety of rechargeables with many head choices. Right now I am running a Malkoff M61 219 in a VME Head on 2 primaries in a Delrin sleeve. Also added the 2 way clip and attached a combat ring (rubber oring) to the lanyard ring. Everything fits perfectly. My hat off to Barry at Precision Woks.
