I tried the lens for the minimag in the CPF special, and it was just a tiny bit too big. The next smallest size on FlashlightLens.com is 22 mm, down from 22.6, for the Nuwai Q3.

Does anyone know if this would fit well enough on the CPF special?

Does anyone have a Q3, and could spare a moment to see if it fits?

Thanks.

I happened to have a 22.2mm x 1.5mm lens when it was my turn in a Rainier passaround (bladeforums), and it was a hair too big for the Rainier. I have to admit, the plastic lens was a dissappointment for me with the Rainier. Like owning a Porsche and using retread tires. The Rainier really does deserve a UCL.

Hmm. If a 22.2 is just a hair too big, a 22.0 should be just about right.

I'm almost considering ordering one just to see if it fits.

flashlightlens 22mm works - but you'll need to sand edges a bit...
and can't really use the rubber o-ring - as the glass is a lot thicker than the plastic lens.
(EDIT: ie. water/moisture could enter the reflector portion of the head w/o this rubber seal - I may try to slice it into half thickness with a razor to keep the head water tight)
