I just got my L1 over the weekend. I took off the tailcap to lube because the twisting action was kinda scratchy (?sp), before I lubricated the threads I removed the battery and turned the tailcap down as far as it would go (I thought there might have been a burr left over from machining), then I took the tail cap off, a couple of slivers fell onto my workbench /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif, nothing major (about 1/16" long each, kinda like plating that flaked off).
When I put the tail cap back on, it felt alot smoother. Then I tried to remove the head, and that thing was on super tight, finally go it off. After lubing the o-rings on both ends, I re-assembled, pressed the tail cap, no light at all /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif, I tighten the head a little at a time with the the help of of a couple of wrenches, then the light works. I thought that the head & tail-cap assembly should only be hand tighten. I know that once the head is on that there is no need to remove it because there is no bulb to replace. Anyone else notice this, is this normal or
should I call surefire customer service ???
Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ed
