Yes, quite a lot of guys do it that way. Check out youtube.

could I buy a bulb from you already de-domed??
Awesome thanks @mudgripz for that. Looks like I'm after a dedomed M24 or 2X then, do you think it's even worth getting my P25 dedomed?

Sorry if posted elsewhere but I have read near all posts
Do the m24 and 2x work with protected cell 18650 batteries, or only the slightly shorter unprotected?
Use protected button top cells.
Cheers
Got my M24. First impression is very good. Haven't fired it up yet as I don't have any batteries.
Play around with it beavis and if you want more distance shoot it down to gadgetman to dedome. They are excellent lights standard but the dedoming makes them quite special.
Cheers I will see what I think. I'm surprised by its size and weight or lack of. I sort of expected a tank of a thing but I'd stick it on a rifle happily.
Gadgetman I have just bought 6x Panasonic 3100mah protected batteries, is it ok to charge them in my old trustfire charger or do I need the one that people sell with the panasonics?
The one you have will be fine as long as they fit in it. I just use the Trustfire chargers too.
Thanks mate
Does anyone know if batteries would actually get to NZ if we did a bulk buy? I know airlines aren't that keen on them
If you do a bulk buy and do sea freight as declared dg you should be fine
Actually, a forum order of GOOD 18650 batteries is a good idea.

In that post @mudgripz said hes talking to the guy that runs Mountain Electronics and might be able to get batteries here cheaper.. Think we should see how that goes before we look at a bulk buy
So I have now got a Roche F12 (which is a very nice single 18650 light) but I want to take the driver out to put a different one in. Problem is, the driver is held in by a press fit brass ring as in the pic. How the f**k do I get that ring out? I've already tried drilling part of the ring out but that hasn't worked

Unwound? Are you talking about ones that are threaded? This one definitely isn't threaded :oh noes:
How does a Fenix TK30 compare to a maxtoch M24?

The fenix is shit compared to my de domed maxtoch. Come pick mine up if you want a try monkey. I'm pretty impressed with the maxtoch. The protected Panasonic batts are a little long tho so that's a bit of a pain.
Are they too long for the charger? I know they are too girthy for the Fenix

Hi 7mmwsm, which predator call bought the cat out ? ☺
Hi all, How long did it take for your M24's to arrive? Mine got shipped around the 24th of October and the supposed tracking website just says "in transit" since the 28/10/14
Ordered mine the 18th October and still waiting

Thanks for that I will keep waiting, it doesnt seem like I long time when you hit the order button but now everything else is here I cant wait for it to arrive!
Does dedoming the M24 affect the uniformity of the beam? Does it retain that perfect circle?

Good info @7mmwsm mine will be used as a rifle light for night shooting so I will get it done for sure
