Is there any known outlet stores that actually carry these batteries tired of waiting and want to pick some up locally (Fort Worth if it matters).

Rcr 123a's are a camera battery,so you should be able to find them somewhere.The 18650's though might be a bit tougher to get your hands on in a store.Have you already ordered?By the time you get done looking for them around town,they will arrive in the mail!
lol i know i just checked my tracking and my rcr123s are coming today........now i have to wait 4 hours + charging time 
Not sure if you will find them locally. But BatteryJunction.com Batteries, Battery Chargers, Flashlights, Solar Products & more! sells those battery types.
If you were able to find cr123a in a store, they most likely wont be rechargable. Plus most of the cr123 batteries you will find in the store will be very high priced compared to online vendors.
Make sure you get your batteries with a protection circuit built in to prevent over charge, under charge, and short circuits.

3V CR123a and CR2 batteries are somewhat common. You can often find disposables anywhere they sell batteries, and rechargeables at camera stores. The 3.7V versions of those batteries, along with every other 3.7V rechargeable battery you might use in a mod (including the 18650) are pretty much unheard-of in retail stores. At best, the clerk will never have heard of them, and at worst, he'll claim that they don't exist. It's online sources or nothing, I'm afraid.

I havent used the silver bullet, but how much is it not going in completely? The protection circuit will add an extra 2mm or so for each battery.
Closed with 18650
open with 18650
Open with 16340x2
pushing down on the 16340s
close (as far as i can comfortably close it) with 16340s
I have a set I bougt that aren't rechargeable and unprotected, the 3 volt. I used them about 10 min. if that. Anyway if anyone wants them they can have them. I have no use for them and won't vape with them.
Ok, how about while pushing it down with a 18650? Does it push down farther than the 16340 does (about the same distance from each other when not being pushed)?
bout 2-3 mm difference...thats why im like wtf cause i read that lots of people use them and you have to use rcr123a and not cr123 i dunno
Then it could quiet possibly be that the protection circuit is what is causing it to not go down all the way. Anyone with a SB that vapes at 6V please correct me if I am wrong.
There are some cr123a batteries that are supposedly safe without that protection circuit, I believe they are called Tenergy batteries. They come in the standard cr123 package but are a bit shorter.

Here is a link to the Tenergy batteries, as you can see they are 2mm shorter than the ones you linked, these are 34mm in height.

Like I said I'm not completely sure as I don't have a SB. Hopefully someone here that does use a SB at 6V can tell you if they have used the batteries that you have.
Sorry I can't be of more help

I just ordered some 3V's for my SB and they work and fit no problem. These are the ones I ordered:
Tenergy 4
Pack RCR123A
3V 900mAh
Rechargeable
Li-Ion
Battery with
Smart Charger
Tenergy 4 Pack RCR123A 3V 900mAh Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery with Smart Charger
So far, they work great with standard 501 attys or HV 901. I got good service from BatteryJunction. But then again I'm in NJ, they are in CT (I think)
Good luck, the SB at 6V is a force to be reckoned with. Be sure to have lots of juice! It goes quick!
