I should've been more specific. I don't have a lathe and I don't want to use cardboard anymore. I know download makes one and sells it....but does anybody else sell them for cheaper shipped? His is like $6+$4ship I believe...so its a bit high IMO...I dunno. I'd need like 3 atleast though.
You don't need a lathe or cardboard. I use PVC pipe cut to the right length to my C and AA battery adapters. Take one of the cells you want an adapter for to your local hardware store and see if you can't find something that fits it to your liking.

I suppose you could use it with C Mag also.
I made mine out of that gray 3/4" PVC electrical conduit. It's just a hair too big OD to fit in the MagC tube. I just used a dremel tool to cut a slit lengthwise to remove some material. Then I used sandpaper run up and down through the slit to tweak the fit so it was a tight press fit into the tube. The springiness of the PVC trying to spring back to the larger OD keeps it from falling out of the tube during battery changes. I also drilled a hole near the end so I could grab the PVC to pull it out. You can even use PVC glue to seal the sanded ends of the slit together.
