Different D Cell mag heads?!?!

[B30wuLF]

i got my P7 supplys from kd today and realized that the P7 reflector does not fit into my 6d!!
i put my head (the black one) next to an other from a 3d. mine has a "step" at the end of the treads.
it it normal that a 6d has an different head the the rest of the mags?

How about the diameter in the bottom?
Can you switch the head to fit the other mag?
I know that old D mag's are thicker than new ones.

I bet one of the two does not have the letter "D" in the serial number.

they both fit perfectly on the other body. the stock reflector also fits both heads

red 3d head on black 6d mag

the other way around

YOu know anybody that owns a lathe? then you can make it fit!
Other not so nice option is dremel it out.

Some of the older MagD lights, but new enough to have the D serial number, have the lip. I ran into this with a couple of my lights when I started modding. Fortunately, I had multiple lights so I just swapped parts around to use the ones with the lip in my hotwires where it wouldn't interfere.

Still strange though that the heads are not alike.
I only knew thick and thin D mag's.

(one with D in front on the s/n other without.)

i ll remove the lip when i make my P7 heatsink no problem. i was just very surprised that there are differences in the mags design. i thought they are exactly the same since the beginning of the human race

It's not strange The one with a lip is a older style head.
