A man with taste, thanks mate
It was the knurling on the bezel ring that got me started as i really didn’t like the way it was.
Damn dude, outstanding!
Thanks mate :+1:
A lovely little “Thumb light” :sunglasses:

Holy wee nuggets on a bony pogo stick, now THAT is cool It looks straight out of a futuristic sci-fi setting!
If I ever made a video game with a handheld light (or vehicle-mounted plasma mortar ), I’d include this mod as my 3D model in a heartbeat.
Very tacticool. I can’t seem to bring myself to mod anything but inexpensive lights. ~$20-$30 my interest seems to wane but I’m glad there are some with a more generous budget.
Yeah man, I do it so you guys don’t have to :laughing:
In the end you get what you pay for(if you don’t wreck it along the way) so this will always be classier than my almost finished Sipik mod.
That sipiks a classic, the only one in the world like it i bet, like some of mine. It’s the unique innovative hand built personalization i love.
Did some polishing to it the other day along with troubleshooting the driver but still a ways to go. Don’t even know yet how well it focuses.
Therein lies the fun/pain/joy/satisfaction
Will be good to see it finished.
I attempted a 16340 version once but gave up on it.
I could also do an 18650 version but would have to re tap the threads and make a tail cap for it. Maybe next time, maybe not. The shape is so iconic I don’t want to get too far away from it and 16650 already gets to 2500mAhr. The way I did this one 16340 would be a snap, wouldn’t even need the brass, just human lathe the back into the front a bit after reaming the inside. It certainly isn’t about minimizing the effort since the less the effort the less likely I’ll bother with it.
+1 :+1:
+…?…
Don’t know what’s the number I should write (1-1000 is way too low), so I’ll just say that… you said it all!
BTW, I don’t like this FourSevens flashlight (mainly because of it’s strike bezel), but I like the way you made it look. Well done mate!
:) Thanks mate. I don’t like the light with the strike bezel attached to the front either but i do like it’s detail on the body, and that is where it will stay, unless of course i find myself being attacked, then hopefully i would have time to take it out, change it all around and set the light to strobe mode :laughing: :person_facepalming: lol, i jest!
That looks and likely performs awesome. Great taste. I need to send you mine for that electronic & led hook up! lol I bought a blue one when they first dropped. I got a few different bezels. Neat how they can move around and interchange. Fun light.
Yeah they’re cool. I thought about getting the blue colour but wasn’t sure about finish durability, how’s it holding up so far?
So far it is holding up well. I am pretty gentle with my gear. So I am not a good durability tester. It rides solo in my front jean pocket usually. I can tell you I dropped it on wooden floors. It bent the striker bezel pretty good. I just carefully bent it back by hand. No problems so far.
Cool, thanks.
Nice mod, the pic on the foursevens sticker looks familiar
