IMR26500 "C Mag" Boring Service

I can bore 3c size possibly 4c size hosts for proper fitment of AW's new IMR26500 cells.

Cost would be $10 each for 1 piece plus return shipping and $8 per additional body. If you want me to supply hosts I can pick up 2c size locally for $20.


Pm Me with your needs. Body Grooving and Head Finning are also addtional services that can be offered with the boring.

nice one Mac, just the ticket for getting these to fit.

Hi Mac,

I'm interested in one 2C. Can you get pewter ones or only black? Also how much would international shipping be?

Cheers,
Nova

Mac, I'm going to gather all my Mag C's and see what kind of total price it will add up to. I also have the extender and deep tailcaps. Would it make sense to get those bored also?

Lux I'm not sure if the tailcaps can be bored, sometimes the wall thickness where the O-ring is thin. I can definetly check them out and let you know.

Any Idea if the FiveMega surefire C head/ C cell bodies can be opened up a little without cutting of the tailcap thread?

I can't get an Emoli 26700 in so I guess a new AW C cell isnt going to go in there either.

i have 2X 2C MAG's and 1X FM 2C for boring!

i have ordered IMR26500's and should have them in the morning...pm you then!

I also am interested if you can bore out Fivemegas 2c and 3c bodies.

Mac, just got your McClicky. I'll pack all my C bodies, extensions, and tailcaps. you look and see what you think. No hurry.

Do you need me to send along a 26700 Emoli/A123 for bore sizing meausrements? I don't have any of AW's 26500, but diameter should be similar.

Extensions for the C size Mag cannot be bored (26500). You will cut off the threads.

Lux that would be great if you could send a cell along.

Hey Chris... I too am interested in having my Fivemega two "C" cell body bored to take the new IMR 26500 cells... is this something that you can do? I know the tailcap is integrated into the body (of course the switch is removeable)... does that make a difference?

Thank you.

From my understanding the FiveMega "C" Surefire style body's cannot be bored.

I wonder is some judicious internal sanding would be enough to allow the IMR's in. My IMR "C"s should arrive in the next day or so... it will be interesting to see how close the size is to the FM tube.

pm sent for 2C mag & 2C FM for IMR26500's

Which colors can you supply?

Anyone knows if the new cells fit the FM11 / FM85 light without boring?

Thanks!

Rule #1 for Mac C colors: you can have any color you want as long as its black

For the last few years, Home Depot has carried unique additional colors of 2C, pewter & violet (aka purple). However, recent spot checks show the supply is drying up fast, perhaps for good.

There was a recent FS thread that had a FM11 listed and the seller stated that the IMR26500 cells did not fit.

No they do not fit.
