Sold/Expired Best host for Aw C cell x3

Anyone have any ideas for a good mag host for 3 of AW's C cells run in series. I would like to fit them into a 2D mag but it is not long enough and the cells rattle. Any ideas?

3 c mag with fm's tailcap $14 works well for me.

How bout one just like this? A 4C cut down just for 3 of AW's "C" cells. The owner of this plans on a Mag85 set up for it.

I use my Mag3C with one of Aw's extenders to run a 1185.

TTT for a BEAUTIFUL light

I like the 4C cut to a 3"AW"C and the 3C cut toa 2"AW"C light.
No "special extenders to deaw attention and as always..., looks stock

The 3"AW"C will be an 1185 and the 2"AW"C will be a 1274.

maybe the best host, as others have said, is the mag 3C with extender/FM tailcap or mag 4C cut down, a "D" size host may be less manageable (I personally prefer the 4C cut down)

I think the options (assuming a MagC) are as follows (feel free to chip in if I have left out any):-

1. Mag4C cut-down to extended 3C
2. Mag3C with stock tail-cap plus Aw's extender
3. Mag3C modified tail-cap (trimmed by Mirage Man/RCatR)
4. Mag3C with replacement tail-cap (FM wide tail-cap and, I think, Modamag's tail-switch may work as well)
5. FM's own extended Mag3C (see his sales thread)

Nos. (2) and (4) will likely result in mismatched colours. No (3) is an ingenious solution at the expense of a few threads and perhaps, a slight gap. No (1) is prob the most logical if you don't already have a Mag3C. As for No (5), if you don't already have an FM creation, you don't know what you're missing
