I was thinking that the FW3A needed a touch of Industrial raw-nessā¦ā¦like it was meant to beā¦
. Black coated clip ā¦.has gotās to goā¦ā¦blasted clip is cool, but itās missing somethingā¦.
.
. it needs a bit of Road Rash and in timeā¦ Oxidation
Did you chemically strip the ano or mechanically? Reason for not doing the tailcap?
Thanks for all the comments and sorry for not replying to questions earlier asked, internet has been going nutso?
. The body has been Glass Bead Blasted, it peens the material and leaves a cool finish. I donāt like chem stripping. I also like to keep the ano on the threads and such. I choose not to strip the knurling on this one, wanted some color contrast and also because bare metal knurling is a bitch to keep clean, dirt and oxidation between the grooves below the knurl peaks always lookās dirty, never polishās out very well. Ano knurl is easier to clean and keep looking good and itās what the wife liked/wantedā¦. I guessā¦
. But I will have to do a complete strip and polish on one of the next FW3A that are coming up, just becauseā¦I have so many other lights completely naked.
Yeah, I am wondering if that price is āeachā or for an assortment pack of 10 or 15. If it is āeachā, I canāt imagine that guy would sell very many.
Yep. Iām already planning to get some GITD tape for various projects. I was just thinking if Neal ends up offering something custom-cut, especially in different colors that I could swap out easily as the mood suits me, for a reasonable price, Iād likely get a few when I order my FW3A (waiting for the SST-20).
Any thoughts related to shipping for ordering only the light vs the light+battery?
Since you canāt ship batteries by normal slow services, would shipping be faster if I order with batteries?
(I was going to place 2 orders, one for the light then one for some batteries. My intention was to prevent being out the lump of money while waiting for the light to come in stock and get the batteries before the light)
