Budget Maglite mods?

Well, I had ordered one to try it out a while back and I eventually gave up after 2+ hours of grinding away with my dremel. Maybe I did something wrong?

looks like thats the only way ill be able to go. plus, looking at the mag internals, even with metal reflector, looks like the tower will be vulnerable to all the heat this will put out.

im assuming this is the kiu socket are talking about? volk also pointed me to that.

im also looking at this one from fivemega.

to me it looks like the fivemega one will be better to handle the heat, but the kiu socket will withstand more abuse with out getting jarred around. could be wrong on both…
either way, ill be loosing the cammed reflector… not a huge deal, but not what i wanted
