you are not going to believe what i found out last night... KL3+KT4

well guys last night i was bored and was trying to go to sleep but i couldnt so i started playing with my new KL3 head i took it off the G2 and stuck it on my LU60 adapter, well if any of you have had an LU60 then you will know what i am talking about when i say it is hard to get off. so i was trying to get it off when i thought i felt the seal on the KL3 head at the bottum give out. so i hurried up and screwed it back on cuz i new i had just vioded the warranty. but i thought no since i already vioded it why not take a look at it, so i took it off againand i thought to my self,"boy those threads sure do look like they would fit on my M3T head," so i put my KT4 head on it and it fit. so know i basically have a surefire C-M adapter so my KT4 haed can now fit on my G2. an it looks slick to.

But that not the only part i thought now what am i going to do with the half a KL3 haed? then i thought why not try putting it on my M3 body. so i put it on and it fit but it wouldnt light up so i thought maybe i had ruined my new KL3 head. but then i thought maybe i need to stretch out the spring so it will make better contact, and it worked after a couple of times tring it lit up. and it looks soooooo cool almost like a shrunken down KL6 head. the only problem i can see is that it isnt quet long enough so now there is a small gap and you can see a little bit of the o-ring on the M3 body, but nothing a spacer wont fix

So what do you all think? i really wish i had a camera to take a picture of both of them, but i dont.

thanks for reading!

So I can't help wondering and worrying.........did you get any sleep?

Actually I'm sure it was all very cool but I can't fully appreciate it because I don't have those lights and heads to go do it myself but I really can picture it all working out! Awesome!

yes i did finally get to sleep, and yes it is a very cool setup.

Did you get any pics?

sorry dont got a camera to take any.

Hey BB- Nice!!!!
That never even occured to me.... It worked fine on both of my lights, the KL3 lit right up on my M3, just had to screw the SWO1 in a little more than usual, no streching neccessary. I got the same small gap as you described and like you said, no problem. My C-M adaptor is very tight to get on and off, I ended up taking the whole KL3 apart and not really by choice! On the C3, everything fit and functioned perfectly. Now for some pics......










I think I might take all of my Surefire lights apart and roll around in the legos for a while.......

thanks for the great pic man. that SW01 looks sssoooo nice so dose the SW02.

thanks for the pic!

Interesting, No wonder why you were up all night

Right I know what i'm buying next.

Thanks for sharing your findings, benchmade_boy/mspeterson, this forum is great.

thats whats on mine.

NICE!!! I should be getting my KL3 any day now, and I already have an LU60 for my M951XM weaponlight........cant wait to see what it looks like mounted on the AR!!!
Good lookin out though, I've never seen anyone do that before. Nice to know I have EVEN MORE interchangable surefire parts!!!!!

I suppose you could sand down/grind down the thread end of the M3 body to get the KL3 head to screw all the way down. If done right, it shouldn't affect anything since we're only talking about a millimeter....

Wait a minute! Does that mean that the KL3 head will fit on a M6??? That would be SICK! Since the batteries are 2 sets of 3 in parallel, it should work and the runtime would be INSANE! Muahahahaha!

NO WAY! THAT IS SICK!

Great discovery! Thanks for sharing.

Had to add: That M3 head looks BAD-*** on the C3!

you know how long the runtime would be on an M6! and not only the runtime but since it is a kl3 it would have like 12 hours of absolutly flat regulation. do you think it may blow the led in the head?
