Ever since I first saw the AN-14 on Surefires website, I saw some potential waiting to be found. I have read many threads where people have used the AN14 with a G3 to use 3x17500. I was always more interested in having 2x17670's to run an led for up to 3 hours or some nice Lumens Factory stuff like the E0-9.
Today, I received my AN14-BK directly from Surefire and I am reporting to say that 2x17670's will work as long as they are unprotected (Protected may work, I don't have any to try), and as long as you convert the switch to a clicky.
Batteries used in this examply are AW Unprotected 17670's from Lighthound.
I adjusted the head to show where the battery sits if you were to push it down all the way with your finger. In reality, the batteries sit level with the end of the tube, but can move down about 1/4" considering the give on the spring on the lamp assembly.
Here is a picture of the inside of the tailcap. I purchased this and unthreaded the switch and gutted the G2 cap and threaded the reverse clicky right in. This gives you more than enough clearance for this set up. The standard momentary/twisty switch takes up much more room inside the tail cap, as you can see in the picture, this leaves adequate room and still preserves the lock-out feature.
