ksbman...he'll need an optic also, eh?
Actually one could enlargen the hole in the original reflector couldn't they? It wouldn't work with one of InReTechs drop ins due to the design of the dropin, but I think this would work with one of Wayne's sandwiches wouldn't it...I've never considered it. I just always used the NX-05 optic...
I've got several of those old reflectors, I'm off to try it out!
============================
Wellllll, I'm back, I was in a hurry to check it out and really didn't take the time I should have to drill a "perfect" round hole (but it was acceptable for a "test")...and I just held the reflector in my hand (went slow with the drill - safety, safety, safety...).
Results: It's just "ok"...sort of like an imitation McFlood (certainly not as nice as a beam from a real McFlood). Lost the ability to turn the light off and on by rotating the bezel. You would have to have a Kroll switch on the end (which I prefer anyway).
Recommendation: Use the NX-05 optic or a McFlood if a truer flood type beam is desired!
