Looks like if you just cut the middle out of the storage tube it should accommodate 18650 cells. Might be able to get 2 per side, but just 1 might be better.

Who's done this, how's it working for you?

18650s won't even fit my VLTOR tubes.

IIRC, same issue with LMT and B5 tubes.

I know they won't fit IN the tube, but should be able to hacksaw the ends of the tube off, leaving the tube ends as caps so the battery doesn't rattle.

I'll have to pass on that.
