Nutdip
Newly Enlightened
I like the light, but wanted a little different look and wanted the brushed sort of finish. So I called a local machine shop and had it modified a bit. Then, I took some fine sand paper and finished it off with 000 Steel wool and wd 40. Took it all apart, cleaned all of the threads, re greased it and I really like it.
I just didn't like the looks of the "nut" in the middle of the light when the extender is in, so I had the "nut" chopped down to leave just a tiny hint of the prior shape.

I also didn't really care for the "fins" in the battery tube, so I chopped them out too. I may have some other design put into it later, but I kind of like it as is:

Let me know what ya'll think. I may be crazy. lol
They only charged me 20 bucks which I thought was fair.
