A hole? I donāt know.
As far as batteries, yes, there are lots of diffeent configurations. It all depends on what one wants. 6xAA, 3x14500 in parallel, All kinds of things could be done.
OP is updated. Thanks to Pinetreebbs I decided to go ahead and make it a 4AA light. That way I don't have to cut tubes and cut new threads for the tail caps. I don't like that chore.
wowā¦ going wild on these things lately huh justin? lol
cant wait to see what comes of this one. the 4x one was amazing
Iām just finishing off what I have āin stockā. Once the stock is gone, the modding will shut down and I wanted to finish off with a couple unique lights.
I'm still waiting on the EA8 though. I might actually keep that light, LOL...
good choice! id like one of them myself, but got another light on my mind right now (shadow sl3)
hope you decide to stick around for a while after
O L you have been making some extremely awesome mini mag mods lately - do you take orders for custom jobs?
i pay cash 
hehe.
I have not made any custom order lights. It makes me nervous. Itās one thing to mod a light and have it fail, but when you do one for someone else it canāt fail. So I avoid doing orders from people.
Someday that may change, but not in the near future.
Well, to update this, I don't have anything new. 
I have set this aside and will not touch it for a few days. Other issues have taken the limelight. Hopefully I will finish this mod in the next week or so. Right now I am spending time with my favorite Chiropractor. My "Spring cleaning" just about cleaned my clock, LOL.
I hope Chiropractors are cheaper in the US than Aus. Better yet just take mind expanding pain killers. There cheaper than Chiropractors and you can do a heck of a lot more when under there influence. Just stay away from rotating saw blades. :_(
I threw this project away, in the circular file. The next day I couldn't stand it and got it all back out again. Now it works and it is in the final paint stages. More photos are in the OP.
It's almost done.

Love that song...
Determination sucks until you get to the good part - itās no asset until you get there!
Just couldnāt leave it alone aye. Well done. Hows the part you cant throw away? Any better?
Yup. That was it. When I have enough battery tube parts Iād like to make a rainbow Minimag.
That sounds like a great mod, looking forward to seeing it.
Got any colored off cuts from AA minmags? So far I just have silver blue and black. Iād pay shipping+.
Glam and Beam Shots in Post #4
No, I have not saved one single cut off from any of these lights.
Justin have done it again!
Its quite a good looking āFrankenstein Mini Magliteā you have made there! I think that is a cool name for it. 
It turned out be be a very nice and unique build! Great work!
Doh! Oh well, I guess it willbe awhile then.
Cool mod Justin. Standard equipment on the space shuttle. Mag Launcher.
