So I have a Surefire M300C mounted on my rifle with an SR07 tape switch. I went to the range yesterday, and when I got home, it would not turn on. I figured the switch may have been hit by while riding in the case, so the battery might have drained.
No biggie, time to change out the battery. When I unscrewed the tail cap and tried to remove the battery, it wouldn't come out! I tried hitting the stock on the ground to let inertia work it loose, but it didn't budge. I then tried touching it with a fired casing, and when it lit up. So I screwed the tail cap on and reattached the pressure switch and it worked!
Question, what could have caused it to not work prior to removing the tail cap? Also, what could cause the battery to remain stuck in the body of the light? How do you get it out?
I'm using Surefire batteries FYI
