since before the arc aa idea was even being seriously considered by peter, i had a bar of aluminum dedicated to becoming an aa body for an arc aaa head.
it kept getting put off, becuase i had other things to do, and mainly, because i just didn't have the right tap, or a knurler /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon15.gif
the knurler finally came in today, and i got a tap a couple weeks ago, so i finished it /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
i was going to wait and have it annodyzed before posting it, but i have no idea how long that will take... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon15.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
i don't have an arc aa to compare it to, but i would imagine mine is slightly larger, as it was made to accept a kroll tailswitch. it has the same od as a minimag, and because it's a tailswitch light, and not just a rotate on/off, it is longer also.
would have been nice to finish it before the real aa's came out, but oh well... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon23.gif
the real beauty of this design i think, is that i can swap any color head i want /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
i've been using it with my green head that has been modded with clear epoxy to make a smooth wide beam, perfect for reading /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
