like the title says i got bored today at work again so i disassembled my k100 completely and stripped all the chrome off the brass pieces and then brushed them including the contacts. Then i used the same textured black powder coat that i did my vamo V2.5 in which is an almost smooth sandpaper like finish but is not rough at all. Decided to leave the copper coating on the bottom button just because i liked the idea of a 3 tone mod. The mod has 2 coatings originally on top of the brass first is a thin copper plating which helps the 2nd chrome plating adhere better i also removed all that ugly knurling :)

Sweet...powder coating rocks!

If mods were made out of ferrous steel, I would be parkerizing mine :D

I'm sure you could get a 14500 into a 50 cal barrel. Cut it down thread the ends and use threaded pipe caps to build your connector and switch caps out of and parkerize. Now, I don't have any 50 cal scrap barrels laying around just 30's, but if I did.....
