2 AA\'s in a C barrel?

Question...

Will 2 AA's fit side by side in a Mag 2C barrel?
If so, is there such an adaptor such as a 2AA to 1C
or 4AA to 2C?

Nope,

2 AA's side by side are a little over 28 mm.
The barrel of my 2C maglite measures a little over 26 mm.

You could take it to a machine shop and have them bore out
the difference, but you would end up with shallow or no
threads in the tail and a weaker side wall.

Your best bet is a D cell maglite with 3 AA's side by side.
