Surefire 6P Internal Dimensions?

[Tiresius]

I'm trying to get an exact measurement of the inner gut of the head. I'm mostly after the length/diameter of the bottom portion of the gut and the angle of the taper after that bottom portion. I came up with around 23 degree and when I machine that, it comes out funky and short looking.

You mean something like this?

I lost my notes on the internal dimensions so I'll need to measure that one.

Dimensioning out a Malkoff module will get you close.

You're correct on that but I've read that the module leaves a 1 layer of foil of free play. I'm looking at this design but can't seem to get the angles right. Each time I machine it to the angles I've calculated, it doesn't look right.

The M60 module I just measured shows 24° included angle (12° angle on each side).

Every Malkoff I've seen is small on the OD to allow fitting in as many 6P & 6P copies as possible.
