Sold/Expired FOUND: Titanium SF C-series compatible Tailcap

[brighterisbetter]

Don't know if these have been made before or not. Thought I'd remembered seeing one on a TB light not too long ago. Intended application is replacing the SW02 on an M3 with something a bit more shiny. PM if you've got anything. I can go $$ or possibly work out a trade.

Bruce, the only titanium C Series-size tailcap I've ever seen was made by TranquillityBase and it was on the Raptor. This will probably be a tough find. But good luck to you!

That's it! I knew I saw one somewhere, didn't fuhgetaboutit grab that one?

The Ti Raptor from TranquillityBase.

The light is one of only a few Ti lights ever made with a C-Series size tailcap.

Actually, TB made two C-Series caps; the Surefire clone clicky on Raptor and this Z41 clone twisty:

Once I find a longer tube for it, it's going to get an AW soft-start switch, and I'll have a Titanium hotwire!

Re: WTB: Titanium SF C-series compatible Tailcap

Looks nice donn, I'm very jealous. I'm kinda curious why there's such a small number of them. There's SOOO many E-series Ti clicky's, but only 2 C-series? Is there something difficult about the threads, or is the demand limited?

Re: WTB: Titanium SF C-series compatible Tailcap

As far as I know, there are only 2 C-tail Titanium tubes out there. Maybe no one thought there would be a market for Ti caps on SF lights.

It looks pretty good having Ti on both ends of the M3.

Re: WTB: Titanium SF C-series compatible Tailcap

Sure does, each pic is making me more and more jealous. When you said that there's only 2 C-tail Titanium tubes out there, is there any advise whether or whether not to run a Ti cap on an Al tube? I run a MM Ti tailcap on an L4 body with no issues yet, didn't know if there was some chemical interaction between the two metals that I should be aware about.

Re: WTB: Titanium SF C-series compatible Tailcap

No problem I can think of. People have been using Ti bezel rings on aluminum lights for quite some time. I've never heard of a problem.

Re: WTB: Titanium SF C-series compatible Tailcap

I'll try one more bump to see if there's any custom builders possibly interested in making one.

I've got two single cell C tail E head bodies and a C tailcap in Ti, so there's at least one more out there. :nana:
