Help with King Arms M3 Tac Light

[matt491]

Anyone on these boards know their way around the King Arms M3 Tac Light? Mine has stopped working and I really don't want to have to drop another hundred bucks to get a new one! It's not the bulb I ordered a new one and it doesn't work either. Batteries are fine, tested them AND bought new ones. I have NO clue what is wrong. Only thing that seems to be off is this tiny screw that goes inside, but I don't know what's wrong with it. I see the hole it goes into, but it doesn't SCREW into the hole, it just sits in it. Maybe I'm missing a piece that it screws to or something? It worked fine at the last indoor game, I lent it to a guy to look for a mag he lost, he had it on fine, then he found his mag, turned off the light and put it in his pocket, when I got it back, it wouldn't turn on! =S Can anyone help?

Thanks

I have a G&P M3 and it might be the same as king arms. Is the little screw behind the bulb housing ? If so this is what completes the circuit to the batteries. If you take the batteries out and look at the coil in the light there is a little nut in the center. This is what that screw attaches to and holds the coil in place. I learned this after I unscrewed it but luckily I didn't lose anything. Hope this helps you out.
