3x17670 for SureFire M6




100_3976.jpg

What you are looking at is a 3x17670 adapter for the M6 with the following features:


  • Series wired for ~11.1V operating voltage with 3x3.7V cells.
  • All brass contacts for cells and flashlight springs.
  • Alignment rods keep adapter in proper alignment whether cells are installed or not.
  • Easy side-load design, no dis-assembly required for loading; brass thumb nut for quick retaining and loosening of cells.
  • Polarity indicators for each cell slot.
----------

Instructions and Information (please read!)

Great results with LumensFactory HO-M6R and IMR-M6 bulbs. Use an FM bi-pin socket for use with the popular 1185 and 1331 bulbs (careful about insta-flash!) Various LED tower modules and custom assemblies may also be compatible.

Loading and unloading is easy; adjust the thumb nut on the side with the deeper recess and slide the end caps into position to accept cell length, insert a 17670 cell in each slot orienting the positive end of each cell towards the red recessed indicator "dot," and negative towards the black. Clasping with hand, insure that each cell is seated fully then tighten thumb nut to secure cells in place. If you want an extra strong grip on the cell, a *slight* twist with a pair of pliers on the thumb nut is fine but not necessary.

Insert the adapter into the M6 body with the adjusting-thumb nut facing the tail-cap. Technically speaking, either direction will work, but this will orient for normal polarity and would be important if used with an LED tower or head.

That pesky fine print stuff... "lawyer talk" [PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING]

I'm not a lawyer, so I'll use English instead :)
I sell these adapters with the assumption that the receiving party has an understanding of electronic circuits and the dangers they could potentially present. But for obvious liability reasons, these adapters do not come with any batteries. Beginners in the realm of modifying flashlights should feel free to ask questions in this thread, or in one of the many appropriate places on this forum to build up a proper understanding of the modifications intended before attempting to modify a flashlight with an after-market adapter. Use of these adapters may void warranties of some flashlights. Please take responsibility and understand the risks.

Extremely nice, Eric! These look exceptionally well made and very durable. The side loading feature is a huge improvement over similar designs. :thumbsup:

Hi NetKidz,

The plastic used on these adapters is too large a diameter, and the contacts are not the same in a mag.

I have already had a similar request by PM for an adapter in this configuration for a tri-bore mag and will be working on the design this week... If you are interested in a similar design, let me know more details about your over-all length requirements, wiring configuration requirements, quantity needed, etc. I'll try to see If I can wrap it into this next project.

-Eric

Eric... adapter received, thank you. The new mill is being put to some good use here! Some comments for those considering this:
- much more rugged design than my other 3 x 17670 adapter. I would feel comfortable throwing this loose in a backpack, maybe just adding a wrap of black tape JIC.
- the side loading feature is very good, and is easier than my other unit.
- very nice design and very nicely executed.

Eric, I have 3 other holders but this design is so well done and I think innovation needs to be rewarded. Side loading.... genius! Plus, they look so beefy and solid.

(forget to mention in the paypal note that I would like the clear acrylic rods)

Hi oren1s,

Can't say 100% when the regulated version is coming out. Figured I'd start shipping some of these to help continue to fund various tools I need to meet the needs of that project.
