Would you pay $4.50 for a stainless steel C8 bezel by Convoy?

I’d consider one if it was a new design and not just a steel version of the typical c8 bezels.

I didn’t mean to ignore this. I know the C8 is a popular weapon mount but I have not heard any demand for more aggressive bezels until your post. I could easily have missed it though…

It certainly won’t be the first round but if there are sufficient people that actually want this then it can probably make the next in line list, though I’d need to run it by Simon. I personally have never thought “attack bezels” to be taken seriously but I’m not so arrogant as to think my opinion is more than just that.

If others are interested in an “attack bezel” feel free to speak up but know that it would probably cost significantly more than the simple SS bezel currently being proposed.

If I have my way it will be a new design. :wink:

Would the bezel fit any C8, or just the Convoy C8s?

I would place it on my Convoy L4

I want one or two, but only if it’s the normal design.

(edit)
…or maybe a simple ‘non crenelated’ one…

There are standard C8's then there are standard C8's. Another words, no guarantees. I've done a lot of LEGO'ing of C8 parts a ways back, and managed some success, some not so much. This is sourcing from Simon, so I'm sure all he cares about is the Convoy C8, so that's all you should expect, I would think. So if you happened to have a Convoy C8, try it's bezel on another C8 - if it fits, probably his SS bezel will fit. I've put an SS bezel on a L4 - came off a UltraFire light, so sometimes you do get lucky.

If I recall (this was couple years ago), the SS bezel didn't go completely down on the threads but worked holding the lens and reflector down fine.

I still like the Rocher AS31's SS bezel, it's thin, light weight, classy look'n:

When you mean like this:

i would like that too.
Maybe even better than the regular design.

I have 4 C8s, 2 by Convoy, an UltraFire and a Thorfire cheapo, and the bezels are all interchangeable.
The rest is not.
I have 2 more lights with the same bezels, and they are interchangeable too.
A.f.a.i.k. only the Xtind bezel is slightly taller, but uses the same threading though.

Any news yet?

Maybe…

I would definitely buy one or two of these if they were made like the picture above

First round. A test sample only and it’s 3mm longer than it should be, but I figure I’d post a picture to see what you all think. This is one of two designs the second of which is a different style and crenelated though not like the existing bezel. Feel free to comment on this one.

Love the design!

Yes!

Nice!

Like the design! But yea, sticks out pretty far - best to keep as close to the glass as possible - less blockage, less interference with the beam.

Sorry mate did not see this till now. I am not doing any attacking i just like the look lol. I cant be the only one? It can come in handy in some situations like glass breaking.

I just seen those pics. I am not a fan of it. I will probably be the only one to say this but i like the C8 bezel as is. But in stainless that would be awesome or even a tad more aggressive. I think there would be a market for it. Some people find it tacky i guess the attack bezels.
This bezel design i can not even see if the light is on one of the reason i have 5 C8s lol. even some thing like the BLF D80 design bezel its still simplistic and stylish without being over the top?

I hate adding my opinion because what i like will be different to other people so what i like not every one will. Some one some where will defiantly whinge about it no matter what! lol

I now have my grinder i can try and make it like a attack bezel lol. My artist skills are so bad i asked my gf if she thought me or my two year old nephew drew and picture and she said me hahahaha.

I’m not sure about that design, there is something about the grooves that look wrong to me, I’m not sure if it’s the dimensions or something else though.

I’m not a fan of attack bezels and I don’t think one made of stainless would break a car window, at least with any consistency would it? In my limited experience a hardened point or a fair amount of heft was needed.

Yea but it depends on the crenulation dimensions. Stainless steel is a lot stronger then aluminium. I think you could smash a window with most attack bezels just need to use force or the force lol.
