Default "Been through the water and been baptized" but the story has a happy ending.

Over the summer I did a senseless thing- I changed the batery in my LE for for the fun of it. No that isn't what was so stupid. The stupid thing was when I did it at the depth of 9ft. of clorinated water. As they say in the chronicles of thomas covenant , it became "closed to me" [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img] . when I got it open useing a viceclamp and channel lock pliers the inside had been ravaged by corrosion and it would not screw back together right. long story short this weekend i dremeled out the inside and ended up with a worn arc that still workes like a charm. I thought the HA was worn before but now the beloved light that has taken me through thick and thin has taken on a rustic "old freind" look that is so full of charector that I wouldn't trade it for an M6 and a green laser and an A2. Really I wouldn't.

You may call it LE but to me it's proper name is "Bannor". I wonder how many of you know who that is? [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img]

So Dremmeling out the inside caused the outside to be worn? [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img]

If the outside is just really dirty try freezing it, into solid ice--something about the way water turning into ice works cleans out the knurling unlike anything else!

Bannor of the BloodGuard. Thomas Covenant's bodyguard.

Next to Saltheart Foamfollower, my favorite character in the Chronicles.
