I finally killed a set of batteries in my M6 yesterday (I've had it for almost 2 years...it gets very little use!) When I unscrewed the tailcap, the o-ring closest to the head came out in two pieces; it had rotted badly. Normally I use silicone grease on the threads and o-rings of all my lights at battery changes, but I guess that if I go two years without a change, I should check the o-rings a bit more often.
I went to Home depot hoping to find a replacement. They had some with a diameter large enough to fit around the flashlight, but all were two to three times as thick as the originals, which would make it impossible to put the tailcap on.
Does anyone know where I can get replacements? Just knowing what size the originals are would be a big help...then I could call plumbing shops and see what they have in stock.
I'll probably end up calling Surefire Tuesday and ordering some, but I'd rather pick some up locally rather than waiting for shipping, since they should be very inexpensive if I can find them.
Does anyone know what size the originals are, and even better, where I could find them?
Thanks,
