Payment received - thanks much. It has been a busy day at work, so I was not able to reply until now. Your box with all hosts leaves tomorrow morning via USPS Priority Mail, Insured. The 18650 holder is inside the Digital CAMO host. The holder will work perfectly in these 160mm hosts, but with whatever host you end up using this 18650 holder, I would recommend that you shorten the spring somewhat do that you don't put too much pressure on the cell 😉

Hi Will

Thanks I appreciate your help glad to be back to where I can communicate. I have several computers and none with a modem. Two days no email and i start getting jittery. 🙂

I always keep a few shorty springs made up so that the threads stay nice and smooth.

and here is ready:

Final shot:

If you note, depending how the light hits it, it changes colors slightly from Purple to Bluish, and back to Purple. It is a great color!

Can you modify the remaining part to bored extension tube for fivemega 8AA to 2D battery adaptor for my Mag 1D? Because fivemega 4AA to 1D not available now :mecry:

For now, I don't think I could offer them, not at a reasonable price. The reason being that the work to do an extension tube by hand is about the same as to do a threading job - I would have to charge about the same for a simple tube extension, which would be about $35 each - obviously too expensive for what it is, and why only folks like FM who have access to a CNC machine can offer them at more reasonable pricing.

Hi Will

Got the lights today all lined up and perfectly wrapped in the bottom of the box.
They all look great!!! I like the finned head and grooved handle on the pewter one.

Thanks for the help on all.

Re: Custom Mag-1xD for sale - order placed!

acourvil - your host has been completed :twothumbs

Maik - except for the grooving, your host is also completed. I guess technically your host is "almost" completed :devil:

Photos later tonight 😉

Here I am done with the cut/bore/thread:
dscf4779.jpg



Here I am doing the switch mod:
dscf4780.jpg



Here you can see how shorter the host is, as you requested:
dscf4781.jpg



Here I am ready to do the tailcap (that Al ring in the back prevents it from moving into the chuck):
dscf4783.jpg



Tailcap ready:
dscf4784.jpg



Here is a size comparison of your "short" 1xD on the left vs. acourvil's standard length 1xD on the right:
dscf4785.jpg


dscf4786.jpg



I hope to be able to work on the grooving this weekend 😉

Re: Custom Mag-1xD for sale - order placed!
