SF SRTH Turbohead filter

[rjr104]

Can anyone shed some light on filters for the SRTH turbohead? Thread size, color, type, or any other information you might have?
TIA,
RJ

There are none.

Surefire used to sell another turbohead with a deeper, threaded rim that you could screw filters into; the Short Rim Turbo Head trades this capability for more compact dimensions.

I believe it's the T62 in this post by size15s:

Well yes it is. My mistake. 20 years in the military - I should do better on acronyms. I guess the same questions apply - just to the T62 head.
Thanks,

As far as i know, there was only ever an Infra red filter released.

God alone knows what the part number was, never saw one, not even a picture.

Go to the SF web site and click on accessories and look up filters. They will be described in the specs. Takes a minute or two.

Well yes, a current production FM27 size filter will clamp down on it. I apparently wasn't clear in my post. I'm thinking in tearms of original thread in filters and accessories (somewhere between 58 and 60 mm) that may have been available for the head when it was in production.

The FM2x BeamFilters don't 'sit' particularly well on the SRTH. There isn't much purchase for them. This is why the KT-type TurboHeads are so 'styled' - so the BeamFilters have something to clamp onto.
With the SRTH is is easy for the FM2x to be canted. Not to mention the combination looks dreadful!

The screw-in IR BeamFilter for the T-62 (it actually has a '-' dash which is almost unique in SureFire nomenclature) was never released. Only a few were made and delivered directly to those who required them.
