I love my Jetbeam M1X but it needed to be a little smaller to EDC,
so with a "Spacely Sprocket Item shrinker"(borrowed from George Jetson}
I shrunk the battery tube and 3 AW18650's down to single size C123.

Now Jane and Elroy will stop asking me what is that big bulge in my pocket.

Re: Look Ma I shunk the M1X

How did you do that? Did you have to cut the original housing?

Looks good though! Will it run off of a single CR123?

Edit.....................:ohgeez::ohgeez:

I just saw the little photoshop flaws. Good trick!

An A for photo manipulation and a D- for spelling of shrunk and Elroy.

I might be wrong, but i think it's the middle of the knurling where you can see where the 2 parts met.

Pretty good photo manipulation. If the light did exist a IMR RCR123 would probably be the only battery that should be used.

The 2 things I noticed was the knurling and the lighting.

Even the paint cracks below the body seem to stop all of a sudden. Little clues like that showed me the artwork.

Too bad it wasn't real though!!!!!
