Olight M20 modded

One of the things I hate about living so close to csshih is that I almost always leave his house with another light to work on or mod. This is a perfect example of that. I bought this Olight M20 Warrior Premium from him with a few things missing: tailcap, bezel ring, reflector, and belt clip. I can live with without the belt clip and crenelated bezel ring, but, a tail cap is essential to make this a working flashlight and a reflector is needed to collimate the beam. Did I tell you that I don't particularly like mules? I got it for a great price so it wasn't a big deal.





Thats how the light looked when I got it.

the first order of business is to get a tail cap on this light. I made a simple tailcap on the lathe much like any other tail cap and I incorporated a McClicky since I love forward clickies.





Next was the problem of getting a reflector. I quickly found that the M20 pill threads fit a P60 reflector and that the OP reflector works with the XR-E, but, the smooth reflector gave me a donut hole, for some reason. The P60 reflector is probably 1mm shorter than the M20 reflector and about 1mm less in diameter. The rim sits flush with the end of the head when screwed on.





Out comes the soldering iron on a spare pill that I bought from Craig and an XM-L T6 is now installed.









I'm thinking of making a ring to replace the ring that retains the lens to shorten the light by about 3/16", or about 5mm.
