last night, i ran out to walmart and bought a 2aa minimag with the intent of turning it down to 1aa. a couple hours later, i come out with this:

you can read more about it here

it is in perfect condition, except for a couple spots on the head threading, because i used one of my old mini-mag heads in the chuck, and put this body inside to turn. here is a picture:

there are 4 such spots, as the minimag uses a 4start thread. the one in the middle isn't a spot, it's the reflection from the camera flash.

this should run very well with a madmax, especially if you use a lithium battery. i've also heard something about a 3v aa, though i'm not sure if there really is such a beast, and if it would work.

i'm asking $25 please.

Re: f.s. mini-mini-mag

Can you measure the runtime with an alkaline? I actually think an NiMH will probably run it longer, but alkalines are always easier to find.

Re: f.s. mini-mini-mag

actually, i can't do paypal /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

i'm not sure when i can fill all of these orders, because i'm busy with other things, but hopefully withing a week.

when i finish them, i will contact you guys and if you're not still interested at that point, i'll post them here /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

paul, i'm assuming you mean test with a madmax? i actually don't have a madmax yet, which is part of the reason i sold this light.
i'll bet someone has done some similar testing with a single aa though...maybe a search would come up with something. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon3.gif

Re: f.s. mini-mini-mag

Any interest in doing a trade?? I have 4 cartons ( 12 each) of Mini Mags still left from a promotion I did a couple of years back. These were the blister packed Mini Mags that came with the two energizers and the webbing style holster. Since you can buy them so cheap it isn't worth selling them individually but maybe if you get enough interest you could trade me out by cutting down some for me and using them for other people ?? Let me know /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif IF not, I would be interested in buying at least one regardless.

Re: f.s. mini-mini-mag

thanks for the offer rain.

however, i'm afraid there is no way i would ever get around to making 12 of these, and i don't think there would be that much demand anyway.

what color are they? i might be interested in purchasing or trading a couple depending on price.
what color would you like your 1aa to be?

Re: f.s. mini-mini-mag

They are all standard black. I originally had 72 of them left but I have been converting them with Dat2zip sandwichs and Opalecs and then giving them away to family and friends. Since I have so many black, I would want either blue or silver for my mini minimag /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

As far as selling them outright, I think the postage individually way outweighs the value. I bought 3 gross originally for around $7 each.

Re: f.s. mini-mini-mag

ok /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

i was mainly asking, becasue when i went to walmart today, but they only had black and red.

i just got off the phone with target (15minutes! (i fell asleep halfway through, and woke up just before she finally found the infromation...), and they have pewter, black, blue, and green /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

so i guess i'll go out and get 2pewters and a blue /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
not sure which color shankus prefers, so i guess he'll have to wait /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
