I understood from this board that aluminum extensions generally did not work on G2's. Some members mentioned using aluminum foil to bridge the contact from flashlight body to extension. I have a G2 I had not been using and the other night I realized I had an extesion for a 6p or 9p I was also not using , so I decided to try it on my G2. I bent a small paper clip into a circle to match the interior of the extension and cut the ends so it would not overlap. I pushed it past the threads onto a "shoulder" inside the extension. "It's ALIVE!". It works great! Everything screws down tight and it works. I feel like I have a new light. It looks a little Frankenstien-ish, nitrolon and aluminum, but I dont mind.

Can you post a pic of your setup?
Pictures are above my pay grade. The paper clip goes inside the "female" end of the extension, towards the flashlight body. It sits on the shoulder just below the threads. The tailcap screws onto the "male" end of the extension. The G2 and the extension are both black so it does not really look too bad.
Now that I read this back it sounds a bit risque. Please, no jokes.

I did this a LONG time ago and I found out today (been bit by the flashlight bug again recently) that Surefire stole my idea! :furious:

If only the AN14 tube extender was offered in Desert Tan colour, I could get the G3 in the colour I want.
