Surefire KL5 XP-L Hi 3oook

Here is another mod that I finished on a Surefire L5. I created a new module with a brass ring to hold the 3 amp single mod driver that works with the two stage tailcap.

This was a fun and challenging one for me but it is finally done.

New Module being machined.

That M1 turned out nicely. I kinda regret selling mine a while back, and keep getting interest up when they come around for sale from time to time.
One thing you might consider, for driver-to-pill connection, I've been peening the pill edge with a flat-faced punch to hold the driver in. Especially with aluminum, you'll never get it hot enough to flow solder.... This results in a rock solid driver contact, so flickering is absent

I wish I had an M1 myself after modding a few. The design of the body is beautiful and I wish I could recreate one in copper.

I do like the punch that you do to the driver but that is why I create a brass sleeve to press into the aluminum and solder the driver to the brass ring. A little more machine work but it works well.

I hope one day to get a mill so I can do flats and all those fancy designs on lights. What mill do you have?

I have an M1 buried somewhere that has not been used since I pretty much bought it. Is it possible to discuss a custom mod with you? Please let me know. Thanks!

EDIT: Tried sending you a PM but it appears your mailbox is full.

Yes, thanks to your lights.


The more I play with the L5 the more I want to get mine done.
