assuming I find one some day. Correct?
They are easy to find and easy to buy.
You bring the cash and I guarantee others will bring the head

18500's are popular with solar yard light arrays.You really do have bad Google-fu if you can't find 18500 batteries anywhere. 😁
Glad you found what you needed. You can't go wrong with Malkoff.
Malkoff sells the VME lens kit including lens, lens gasket, and head gasket for $4.00.There are several old ZFL heads available on Oveready site under RANDOM tab. I read the lens from Malkoff VME head lens and gaskets kit would work, but you will also need an o-ring between head and lens.
why the 18650 body? Just for feel in hand? I do like the looks of the tricap.3500 vs 5000mAh, so about 43% more potentially.
Pulls around 2A or so on high at liion voltage.
On a guess considering losses, maybe around 1.5hrs vs 2 and bit hrs on high.
I'd like an M61HOT, my preference would be on an 18650 body.
I'll take another random guess and say around 150hrs on low (on an 18650)?
The m61 hot with 18650 and thrym lpc disappears in the pocket and feels like it's not there, but the tricap won't work with the lpcwhy the 18650 body? Just for feel in hand? I do like the looks of the tricap.
good to know about the thyrm, thanksThe m61 hot with 18650 and thrym lpc disappears in the pocket and feels like it's not there, but the tricap won't work with the lpc
It's the most solid clip I've ever seenThat actually looks like a nice heavy duty gauge thickness of a clip compared to the Surefire clips I got awhile back from LF, they bent just by looking at them.
Also, as a follow up question...besides the 'neat' factor, any good reason to do this? Or should I just grab an m91 on md4? Both would make a good baton.Looking at buying a maglite and drop-in adaptor for use on the nightstand. Having trouble deciding between a M91W and m61W.
The run-time on the m61 sounds nice, but the lumens on the m91 are also appealing. Anyone have one of these drop-ins? Or another drop-in you recommend for the 3-4 D cell maglite?
I have a 3D and I'm running a M91. The good reason to run it in the mag is the ability to use 2X21700 or now 2X 26650. Run times are huge. Also the adapter makes for a great heatsink.Also, as a follow up question...besides the 'neat' factor, any good reason to do this? Or should I just grab an m91 on md4? Both would make a good baton.
I have an m61w I use in surefires and the md2,3,4. My next purchase is an m91n. I would say get an md setup. You can always buy the mag lite setup anytime and have both available to mess around with.Looking at buying a maglite and drop-in adaptor for use on the nightstand.
