SureFire G2 Nitrolon Tail Cap Repair

Hey!
Today I'm doing something a little different. I have had this SureFire G2 Nitrolon Flashlight sitting in my desk drawer for about 6 years now. It stopped working on me after 4 years in the Marine Corps and I hadn't had the heart to throw it away. I was finally cleaning stuff out and decided to just give it a shot to see if I could fix it.
I ended up bringing it back to life and look forward to getting many more years out of it!

Yours looked immaculate compared to mine. I would never have figured out how to get this apart without the video. Thanks!

[@ITalkFortnitee]

Cool! Great video didn’t know you served thank you for your service

THANKS FOR THIS MY G2 BUTTON IS FUNCTIONAL AGAIN!!

[@freshlifeline]

Do you screw the plastic plunger all the way in tight or leave a little gap for the button to play?

[@vampyrelycan99]

Not viable service maintenance. Once the twisty mecha has been removed the rivet may not be able to be hammered back in securely. Just replace the twisty internals with a proper Z41 McClicky upgrade, that would be the most appropriate step to do......

[@joelstolarski2244]

That was cool. The rivet part looks like the only tough piece to put back. Seems like it should have been designed better. A cheapie part, that compromises a tactical light seems pretty dumb. Gonna try it. I don't think the caps are available to buy or get replaced from Surefire.

Hi. Im a fan from the philippines ,May i ask if it's normal for a flashlight with press button switch to make a little rattling sound specifically on the tail cap when you shake it? The flashlight works just fine tho, it's just that rattling sound bothers me i wonder what's the cause of that. I hope you can answer my question thanks a lot!

[@advancedvector6833]

Yes after the repair mine rattles a little but it seems to work just fine! Thanks for watching the channel!

[@ivyjarabe5997]

Thank you so much.
