Since the Ody in LR turned me into 3.7v vaper, i went on the hunt for a super stealth GG that will fit easily in my briefcase when I travel. Because I vaped my GGTB's in HV, I had a bunch of AW 16340's but in the GGTB I had to use them with the telescoping tube.

This is what I came up with. I'm pretty pleased with how it came out although I wish I had tapped the end on a lathe. If you look closely, you can see a small gap on one side. My next one will be done right, this one I just cut and tapped by hand.

Here you can really appreciate its tiny size

Like all GG's this thing hits like Deniro's baseball bat in the Untouchables

Cheers

Nice work. My hunt for a Lathe is almost at an end my pops found one for me. Hopefully it works out.
Glad you found a lathe but enjoy your pops even more. Mine is gone now and we don't always have the opportunity to tell people how much we love them.

Un abrazo Hermano

Nobody but Urq knows quite how happy this makes me.

And to Torque...looks brilliant! I can't imagine a mod that small and yet so beautiful. Really great work dude!

Gracias hermano abrazo para ti tambien.
If you want it to sit more flat. If you can make the tube spin and with a file the beginning inner thread trying to make a slight angle inwards, think of it like adding a champher to the inside of a tube. This will make it sit flush.
You are so right! A chamfer would have worked. Oh well, next one will be better.
Thanks Urqui
