I ordered and received the C and D cell Mag Lite repair kits. I've had a few here that have needed switches and lenses. Got to work on them and notices there are two different switch units, one for snap ring retention and one for internal nut retention. The snap ring models must be later cheaper models, because the tubes are a lot thinner than the nutted ones. If the serial number starts with a "D", then it's a snap ring model and you remove the switch from the back of the tube.

The things you learn...
