Body extensions for Mac's EDC series lights
ok folks, want to collect interest in these. I want to offer up 15mm extensions, so with 1 extension, you can run an 18500, and with 2 extensions, you can run an IMR 18650...
I was going to have 2 prototypes made in copper for myself, but cost for one extension was nearly the cost of the light new.... so need some quantity...
please indicate quantity and metal (Ti, Brass, Copper, Aluminum) you would be interested in.

design is just simply smooth to match Mac's lights, but the extensions could also be used on the Hanko Twisted Trident, but not with the Okluma TinyDC very well)
The original post was some years old, and the estimated price was his.
I've seen the V10R extension tubes for $10-$40 depending on metal. my hope would be to stay in that range, but I really have no idea at the moment. obviously the higher qty, the less expensive they will be...

NOTICE: I'm concerned about Ti for these extensions... of the 7 Ti EDC series lights I've had go through here, 2 of them (newer Tri-EDCs) had issues lego-ing with my other Macs. have never had an issue with any of the other metals... I have examples of all the metal types still, but not either of those two lights that had issues. I'll try to have the tolerances loosened up a bit if possible on the threading when I get to a point of placing an order...
