Pila 150S and Surefire M3

[Manila]

Batteeries work great but I can't seem to get the darn tailcap to turn in correctly.

If I turn in the tailcap, the light won't turn on as it seems the tailcap button cannot be pressed.

I saw some messages about a spring change.

Anyone know where I can get this so called new spring?

Am waiting to hear from JSBURLYS.

Thanks!

If the batteries appear shorter than the regular 123A's, the spring is probably not making contact. Either pull the spring to elongate it or create a metal spacer in between the batteries.

Don't fool with your current spring. It could be an issue if you want to go back to 123's. JSBurly's will get back to you. He said he has the spring.

manila, I sent springs on friday. I am guessing that they will show up on monday.
I personally do not have an M3 but before I started looking for Pilas, I read some threads on this subject and have sence read more about use of 150s in the M3. If I am not mistaken, I think Chop is the one if lots of experience with this. I will search through threads and try and confirm that it is him and it not him, will find out who it is.

Thank you all for the quick responses.

I surely won't fool or modify the tailcap I have right now.

Jon, thanks too for the quick action (shipping of the springs)
