well i was trying to open my KL1 and sure enough i get the top half off just fine, but the bottom got victimized by my lack of patient and decided to use the pipe wrench....:-( well anyways im relatively new to this hobbie and im just all bummed that i scratched up a awesome flashlight, i have emailed surefire to see if they sell the part seperately but have yet to get an response. This is bugging me so bad that im seriously thinking of getting a new KL1 head. Well if anyone can chime in on where i can get this part at i would appreciate it... maybe someone here did the opposite and damaged their top part? im interested!!! thanks
