Thanks Size15. Just out of curiosity, can anyone, that has an A2 and calipers, measure the diammter of the channel ont he tailcap? im just curious to know what the difference is between the Kroma.

I measured the Kroma tailcap, it is 18.13mm or .71 inches
 
thank you. hmm I wonder if it is possible to get the Z60 ring and ream out a little material to fit the Kroma? something to try and modify in the near future.
 
0.63 mm is not very much, and reaming that from the inside the ring diameter (0.315 mm thickness) should be possible, but remember the ring is in fact in 2 pieces which clip together. Taking that much material off is bound to weaken the clips, but I don't know how serious that might be.
 
I doubt it would be very secure it the lanyard ring was modified to fit around a fatter diameter

Buy a new switch.

But how will that work on the black A2...ive never seen Black switches for the A2 for sale.

The rubber switch boot is designed and textured to afford grip and will therefore naturally become worn down through use over time like vehicle tyres for example.
It is not covered by SureFire's warranty because a worn switch boot is not broken - it is used.

With regards to how to purchase a replacement for a black HA or other limited production model TailCap - I suggest giving SureFire a call to see whether you can send the TailCap to have the rubber switch boot replaced...

I see.. i thought it would be like fenix torches u know.. just unscrew the bottom of the tailcap with a pen and replaced the rubber boot. but with the surefire i couldnt find any thing to unscrew...
 
Here´s a picture of my Surefire HA Black goodies:

U2 - K2 - K2MilSpec with PK Logo - C2 Emerson - E1D and the one on the far right is not a HA light but wanted to be in since it was the only black surefire light left.
 
C2-HABK special

My first rare Surefire, and one I've never seen on the forum! :party:

C2-HABK special

A "Remington Military Products Division" black hard-anodized C2 Centurion. The finish is a perfect match between the tailcap, body, and bezel. The light is said to be new and unused, but there's a tiny bit of silver showing through on the edges of the antiroll hex part of the bezel - I'm guessing it was never carried but perhaps stored in a drawer with other items. Batteries expire in 2015, has original but worn box and glossy instruction manual.

I have always enjoyed this thread, so I'm doing my part to keep it active! (And losing lots of money in the process!) :broke: :ohgeez:

Just added the Kroma. Wow. This thing gives me a whole new appreciation for Surefire. The machining detail and overall design are exceptional. I am particularly impressed with the tactile feel of the selector ring as I click from one position to the next. It's all those little attention to detail items that really have me hooked on Surefire flashlights.

Yep. But becareful on the selector switch. the clicking can go in a short while. There is a nice handy little mod that you can do to the kroma. get a C2 stock combat ring, there is a black nub/tab thing, cut that off, then slide the ring onto the kroma. (you need to remove the pocket clip and that plastic ring thingy first) but once you put the combat grip ring on, line up the flat spot with the pocket clip location and put the pocket clip back on. It is really nice to have the C2 cigar grip on the kroma.

Thanks for the heads up Solscud007. That would be a bummer if the clicking/detents start to wear out. It's interesting that you mentioned it, because before I bought this one, I was playing with one in a retail store and remember being somewhat disappointed because there was not a very clear/distinct detent on the ring positions, and definitely no clicks. I guess that one was just handled way to many times as a display unit.

Thanks for the combat ring mod idea and nice job on your display case that you posted over on the "sf collection" thread. It looks good.
