Re: Titanium tailstand extension for E-series with bezel down clip - any interest??

OK I'll send you mine but don't kill it! My A2 is pretty modded.

About time I helped more than just throwing around ideas.

I would be on for one for the L1. No cren and straight sided. Maybe knurled?

I would take 2 crenulated ala E2D style tailcap with a clip.

Moddoo:

Although I'm not interested in the clips at the present time, I can send you my L2 tailcap and L4 tailcap, if that would be of help.

If you can make one with a hole for lanyards, I'd be very interested in one for an E2E and one for an L4. Not sure if anyone else would be interested, tho. :shrug:

Cool, it looks like Sgt will send his.
I could easily have a lanyard hole.

Here are a couple cell phone pics of a prototype I cut tonight.

There is plenty of room for the button to squish.
I made the inside a nice 5 degree taper to the bottom

I left it cylindrical until the end where there is a slight grip ring which works well.

Even though I made it a bit too long, it is pretty easy to activate.

sorry the pics suck

Now thats what I am talking about! nice work!

Re: Titanium tailstand extension for E-series with bezel down clip - prototype pics u

Dang you made plenty of room in there! The button looks lonely somehow.
I really like the slight lip on the outside, classy.

PM me your address so I can get the A2 tailcap out to you tomorrow. Oh and I am in for 1 A2 ring and 1 E ring.

Looks like my L1 and my A2 are going to need one of these too. :thumbsup:

I'll send you the L2 and L4 tailcaps tomorrow, I've already got your address. To make things easier, I'll enclose a return shipment sticker and return postage. This gives me a chance to return the favor you performed for the 6P boring services deal. :thumbsup:

But there already are shrouds for the E-series and A/L-series tailcaps, and have been for quite a while. (Delrin, but still...)

Give us shrouds for the Z58/Z59!!! (and matching bezels for the U2, please)

looks good!!! Like the fit and finish !!! And thats the proto!! I dont know much I would change!!. Maybe a bit thicker ?

Thanks guys, keep the comments coming.
It looks pretty nice in person. The tailstand is nice.

Thanks for sending the tails guys. I really appreciate it.
maybe there will be some kind of discounts...:naughty:

The space inside is nearly entirely filled when the button is pressed.
Much less would introduce some resistance to the "click"
I could add a tiny bit of wall thickeness and a fillet at the bottom to make it appear a bit more "full" inside.

I won't have any shop time until next week.

Maybe a crenulated model will be coming soon.

I'll be picking up some thin, spring temper stainless steel, on monday to play with.

Just FYI, the tailcap on the L1/L2/A2 is called a Z62.
They are sometimes harder to take apart than the E-series Z57.
I had to tear off the rubber boot on one of the few I encountered.

Moddoo, cool material and nice design! I like the 'ridge' you put on the outside
as well as the inisde taper :thumbsup:

Re: Titanium tailstand extension for E-series with bezel down clip - prototype pics u

Sounds great man. I like the idea on how to make the bottom seem fuller.

My A2 has been apart before so it'll be easy! It actually has a delrin ring on there now so you can take a look at it.

Thanks for the heads up.
I'll make a custom tool to remove the ring.
if I wreck anything, I'll buy a new one for the owner.

Wow! Looking forward to see this project evolve...

Re: Titanium tailstand extension for E-series with bezel down clip - prototype pics u

It was just a thought but it looks completely functional and thicker would add more weight which might be a down side? the offset of bare metal against the HA looks really cool. I really think you have come close to the bullseye on the first attempt!!

Re: Titanium tailstand extension for E-series with bezel down clip - prototype pics u

BTT,
I am going to pick up some stock to make a few clips today.

Also getting a quote on a part very similar to the prototype.
:thumbsup:

Sweet.


Non-loctite'd A2 tail went out yesterday.

Tom:

The L2 I sent you won't be a problem. I installed an Oregonshooter shroud on it. I think you'll find it simple to twist off.

(FYI, like Nekomane mentioned, I had a bear of a time getting the original Surefire tailcap apart to install the Oregonshooter. )
