I have a D3 (essentially a 9P) and A19 extension that I'd like to have bored to fit 18650's (is it 19mm?). I'm looking for someone in the CONUS with a lathe to do the work. Anyone?
 
I have done this several times using the adjustable reamer, variable speed hand drill and an electonics vise. If you can not find a lathe man let me know, hb.

hb, was this how you bored your C3? Have you encountered any problems with this method? Thanks.
 
Yes. The only problems I have ever had was if it slipped in the vise. I use a vise with rubber on it so that it does not scuff up the finish on lights but the downside to this is I can not tighten it as much as I would like.
