Please remove the tailcaps from your E series and M2/3 lights. Look closely at the springs. Notice how the E series are wound one way and the M series the other.
I don't know what it means but it sure is diabolical!!!

......Filing the edges with a hard Arkansas stone does the trick.

Those backward-wound springs were imported from south of the equator!!

brightnorm,
I'm not as skilled with the vowels and consonants as darell but here goes.
An Arkansas stone is used primarily by gunsmiths and for sharpening knives. It's a hard white stone but I don't know if it's harder than a file.
It removes very little material per stroke and it certainly isn't as aggresive as a file. You might say that the file is used for the initial rough work and the stone finishes it off. It produces a finish similar to polishing metal with #0000 steel wool.
They're not expensive (a few $) for a small one and $15-20 for a large one.
