Maglite 3C mod - old school style (picture heavy)

Really nice mod, always have a soft spot for magmods i must get round to making some of my old maglites mine a little bit better too :slight_smile:

Welcome back Cula! Awesome work as usual. :+1: :beer:

Awesome build! I somehow missed this one. The buyer is gonna have fun with this beautiful work of art!

Beauty.

Looks very nice, feels good to get results after all that hand work doesn’t it? :wink:

Much respect both for your skills and your decision to see it through, and while money might buy better performance it can’t buy the sense of accomplishment i hope you feel with this build.

Just curious, did you use the Arctic Alumina Thermal Adhesive to glue the threads between the head and driver section? If someone tries to turn the head off it will twist the wires….

Thanks again for your comments :beer:

Yes, Epoxied permanently (arctic alumina).

Ingenious, I love the copper and cap screw belt. Well considered details throughout. A very unique take on a favored mod host.

Gotta pic a nit though, that’s a 3C not a 2D.
:wink:

I also thought it looked kind of skinny for a 2D

It was an honest mistake :person_facepalming: . Thanks for the clarification :beer: , I’ll change the thread title.

No problemo

Great job! Being a big fan of Maglite I love it!

Beauty mod Cula!

Not only do your mods impress, they inspire others to pick up the hobby!

Didn’t think it was anything else. Great build.

Does a D cell head fit a C cell body?

Okay, this is a super pretty piece with an interesting making-of process. Definitely deserves a bump.

Aside from lumens and heat production, how does it perform?

Awesome work!!! :beer:

You made me remember OldLumens…!
