I was visiting the BigLots in Danvers, MA (which is a Big BigLots) and found they have a bunch of Maglite clones on sale. They have a 4D silver version for $9.99, a 2D (assorted colors) for $5.99, and a 3 pack with a 3D, a 2C and a 2AA for $14.99. The 2D's were accessible and I took it apart. It's threads wwere a little roughter than Maglite but it seemed pretty solidly built. The bulb is mounted in a thick aluminum slug which threads into the front of the body. There seemed to be lots of room for mods. Lens and reflector are of course plastic. Spare bulb in tailcap.
The 4D and 3 pack are marked "Nikota" while the 2D is marked "Foresight" but all clearly from the same plant. If your BigLots has a "Nikota Tool Sale", it may have these. My home BigLots in SoCal doesn't.
