Still trying. We shrimp the inner size a little, the drilling will be done today, we'll see. if it doesn't work, we then go to 25.4 or 26mm.

I got Rey`s proto type in hand, and here are a few pictures:

next to a Convoy S2+ which inherits the same threading inside the head, so the pills are interchangeable.

Next to a Sinner`s 18350

Some things will be different on the actual production type.

When are these going to be ready to buy?

Rey has been taking orders for over a month now. PP is in seventh paragraph of OP.

Given that they are in production as we speak, delivery should/could be imminent. As of a week ago Rey mentioned shipping by the end-of-month. To be realistic, a project like this could probably experience glitches at any moment.....

Edit: They are now shipping

Received it yesterday. Anodized and stone washed. TIR with Xpg2. 10 trits installed. The body was too tight to take protected Panasonic 18650. The tail switch was a bit tricky to use and still figuring how to avoid jamming to the housing. The Triple Nichia 219 from Rey was not working, hopefully will receive another one from Rey next week.

It was fun to DIY. The quality was quite good. Suggestion to Rey are improvement to tail switch design (compatibility with Mcclicky) and the body to take larger( fat) protected 18650 cell.

Also tailcap bolts need to be drilled properly (ie, around the light, not straight into it). I have one built, overall, pretty happy, great price and awesome with 10 trits.

Not perfect but very good value.

BTW, great job on the finishing! Care to share any details on how you did it?
