I like this one. It takes a beating. http://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10005307/1425200-sentinel-m16-telescopic-mechanical-mod
+1 for the M-16 Brass Telescoping Mech. I like my FT Brass/SS Neme clone, but the M-16 is just indestructable!

You can almost throw that switch with your mind (no latent telekinetic powers required).

Pmsl wow I've never heard it put like that before
Best bang for buck you say? Sentinel M16 is a very good price for what it is. The fire pin does unscrew, but if you toss some plumber tape or bend the threads a bit at the right spot it will be fine. However at under $11, its pretty awesome. Shameless self plug, here's a video I did of it.
I have 6 mechs from FT, and my #1 is the very same that Alan Woltemath posted: The brushed brass Stingray. After a couple months of moderate use, the switch on this thing has evolved from excellent to magical. Puts a couple of my $200 tube mods to absolute shame. Tolerances are flawless, sublime fit and finish.

I had the same problem with the switch. I just placed a small piece of a broken rubber O ring in there. When you screw the button into the contact head, the compression of the rubber puts enough tension on the threads to keep it from unscrewing. I figured Teflon tape would affect the conductivity and defacing the threads might irrevocably destroy the device/firing switch. Other than that quick fix, an extremely solid device!
do you happen to know of any other like this? don't really want a stingray
Agree with you on the aluminum ones....a similar mod was the 11 dollar aluminum and brass Private V2 clone I picked up some time back from FT...the aluminum threads stripped out badly after a few days with very little usage...It's pretty much an 11 dollar paperweight these days....lolAlso, I have the completely brass model. I haven't tried the aluminum/brass one.

Same general mod though, but probably just a bit heavier. I would be interested in the difference in voltage drop between the SS/Brass/copper, Brass/Aluminum, and Brass models.
I know that aluminum is a good conductor, but I think it's just to light of a material for tube mods or 510 threading. I tend to stick with brass or stainless.
Too early for anyone to have them just yet. I've got an order in for one, should have it in-hand before the month is out. Hopefully lol...Anyone have the FT StingrayX?
Location, location, location. China vs US.How is that FT sell clones for cheap while others site sell the same clone for almost double the price.
Is there different manufacturers
