    Homemade clips

    416 might be an option but its not going to stay as clean shiny as a 300 series. How corrosive of an environment are we talking?

    Homemade clips

    Mine are .040" thick and they are soft-ish but the material thickness helps keep their shape. I have bent some of mine in hard use but they bend back, and I have sold quite a few and no one has complained about them being TOO soft. Of course, I stated early that they are not treated (I don't...

    Homemade clips

    Since the OP is looking for corrosion resistance, I can attest that the Solarforce two-way clip is absolutely not corrosion resistant. Thats the same reason I had my own made up, but like the OP my stainless clips are somewhat soft. They need to be heat treated I believe but I have no way of...

    Surplus Shed Aspherics

    I've never had an order be wrong, but my orders were generally under 10 items so it's not difficult to get those right. I have ordered many aspheric/PCX lenses from them in various sizes and FLs to mess around with. For $30 you can get a whole bunch of various sizes and see what works. And as an...

    where can I get (standard) P60 brass pills from ?

    I have never seen the empty brass pills sold separately. For the cost of them you are probably just better off buying them as a set.

    Glock GTL10 LED upgrade?

    If the reflector rim is too wide (P60-compatible modules being 26.xMM usually), then give DX #11810 a try. It's 22.5m or so and shorter than the D26/P60 modules.

    Minimag Tap Sizes

    Unfortunately (for you) it's a US-based product and will therefore use imperial sizes for threads, etc. I'm sure you could source a 5/8-28 tap from a US supplier. I think most people just cut them on a lathe.

    Where to buy T1-1/2 bulb socket

    That is a great idea. I'll test one on the bench and see if it melts. Thanks!

    Where to buy T1-1/2 bulb socket

    I'll have to wait until I get home to check out the images in that thread, FM's hosting services is blocked for some reason here at work. I actually didn't realize FM was selling the sockets separate from the reflector as well. Thanks for the heads up.

    Where to buy T1-1/2 bulb socket

    Hey guys, I'm looking to procure a small number (2 or 3) bulb holders that would fit a T1.5 (like the Strion) bulb. I need them fairly small, no more than 1/2" in both diameter and length, with solderable leads off the bottom whether they be tabs or wires. The material isn't too important, I...

    home made reflector

    Interesting. Are you sure its the reflector or did you add some kind of PCX lens in front of the LED?

    Optics in a Surefire 6P?

    The problem is most P60 style LED dropins require a very short FL, in the 20mm range. To get a 26mm optic (28mm overall diameter, but you need the lip for the retaining ring), with a 20mm FL requires a pretty thick lens, and there are limited commercial uses for these. I have used a few with...

    Question about aspherics

    Running an Aspheric at 1/4 the focal length has produced nice beams in my experience, they will lack a hotspot but instead will be a perfectly circle of even light. The aspheric will still blue shift the color a bit though, so keep that in mind.

    Anyone make this product/ Is it feasible? (update: it works!)

    Re: Anyone make this product/ Is it feasible? Sounds like your solution will work, I would just keep the spacers toward the bezel (front) of the light for weight purposes. And, of course, we expect pics when it's all done :)

    Anyone make this product/ Is it feasible? (update: it works!)

    Re: Anyone make this product/ Is it feasible? Adding an extension, if its even possible, is just going to add more weight out at the end of the gun which is not ideal. I think what you really want is a P60 type module with a tighter beam profile. You might be able to do this with optics also. I...

    G2Z Stainless bezel

    I would take one of these if it fits the 6P, and probably more than one if it had either a slight scallop or notches cut into it so you can see if the light is on when you place it bezel-down on a table.

    Custom SF Type Body Bulb/LED Questions

    Some notes: The modified E-series head (cutting the post off) can be reverted back to using normal incan lamp assemblies by going to home depot/lowes and buying some nylon spacers of the correct internal diameter and cutting them to the proper length. Slip them over the lamp assembly and you...

    Custom SF Type Body Bulb/LED Questions

    If you're comfortable modifying a stock E-series incan head, or having someone do it, and you don't care about the beam shape, you can do what I did to make an E2DL with the old style incan bezel. You'll have to unscrew the bezel from the E-series head to do it properly, but here's the general...
