The switch in a stock Mag is a long lasting work horse.
But it's a big horse and the best use for it seems to be to modify it for momentary contact.
Whay hasn't somebody dumped the whole thing to gain space and put a momentary contact in the hole?
It appears that a 3D could be a 4D with the switch out of the way and a 4D could be ??? ( six 3800 sub C are about 261 mm and four D's are 240...)
On a side note, my old 3D has a metal plate that is screwed into the body with the light stalk sticking through it. I've not seen it referenced anyplace.
Is that plate still in the newer ones?
