Re: Anyone make a glass lens for SF 9AN?
Like most other SureFires of it's generation, the 9N's Lexan window was a push-in, snap-fit installation.
It can be remove by 'popping it out' using a metal or other suitable thin rod inserted through the Lamp hole and applying hard sharp pressure to pop the window out.
Note: this will most likely mark in a horrible way the Lexan window so you're unlikely to want to re-install it.
Note: this takes quite some force. Don't using the surface of anything that could be damaged by the rod such as a desk or table top or kitchen work surface etc. Even a floor could be damaged.
Note: ensure the rod isn't so thick that it could contact and damage the reflector edge at the lamp hole.
Of course since SureFire does not offer a replacement 9N Lexan window kit, I've no idea what you're going to use to replace it with.
Glass windows don't tend to suffer the whole 'snap-fit' installation method (hence SureFire used a screw-in window retaining method for glass!)
Perhaps it has been achieved... I don't know. I guess that if somebody has managed to replace the classic Z32's Lexan window with glass then there is a little hope for your 9N...
Al :thinking:
