Re: Custom Mag-1xD for sale - part2

Will does some great work. The custom 18650 and C cell holders are fantastic. If I ever get around to taking some pic's of the lights he made for me, I will post them.

If you are a fan of the short Mag's, don't hesitate to get one of these.

Re: Custom Mag-1xD for sale - part2

OK, the co-worker who wanted a really small 1xD no longer wants it :shakehead

So here it goes for sale :party:

It is cut/designed to work with a "D" size cell (tube length is about 148mm), as you can see in the pictures here. I modified the tailcap so that that the spring seats 0.5" deeper into the tailcap:
dscf4347.jpg



Here is how an Alkaline "D" cell fits inside a standard 1xD host - note that there is good space for a longer cell in there with the standard tailcap/spring:
dscf4348.jpg



Here in the right is the shorty 1xD also with the same "D" Alkaline cell:
dscf4349.jpg


dscf4350.jpg




here I am cutting inside the tailcap:
dscf4351.jpg



and here is the resulting "short" tailcap/spring on the left vs. the standard one on the right:
dscf4352.jpg



and everything put together. Shortie Digital Camo (for sale) on the left, vs. Silver standard 1xD on the right (already sold to Visible EM Wave):
dscf4353.jpg



Shortie Digital Camo (prices include shipping - payment via Paypal - same price cash or credit):
$55 domestic (CONUS) or $70 international. If interested, post here and send me a PM for Paypal payment information ;)

Re: Custom Mag-1xD for sale - part2

OK, looks like from my PM's that there is almost enough folks interested in doing a 5th wave of custom 1xD's :party:

EDIT: Post #1 has the updated list.

Anyone else? I need about 8 bodies before pulling the trigger.

Re: Custom Mag-1xD for sale - 5th wave open for custom orders!

Can you make it tri-bored for one FM 3x17670 M6 Battery holder? Sorry if my question is stupid. I do not know the exact dimensions of this holder...

There is no such thing as a stupid question - always go ahead and ask ;)

I have plans to create a fixture for tri-boring, but I don't have it yet, so I currently can't offer the tri-boring service. Forum member Jesus Hernandez offers tri-boring:
