Touch wood, I've never had any issues with international postage.
The beam reminds me a lot of my old SST-90 P60 module. My only other SST-50 is in a Raidfire Spear, so it has a very defined hotspot. This is very floody, and I love it.
I've noticed on a fully charged battery it starts to get hot in only 10 secs. I haven't had it on long enough to see just how hot I'm sure it will get.
I'm thinking of getting it bead blasted to give it a nice matte finish. How do you think the JB weld in the join will hold up?
Never done a bead blast, I don't know how much power or vibration will the bead blast introduce, so I don't really know
