M300v (Clone) Battery Type

[MikeMarden]

Hi all

Bit of a random plea for help please?

Bought one of these recently

https://www.ebay.com/itm/192941020277

Stated it needs CR123A battery, however tried this & the CR123A is too wide too fit, doesn't take AA or AAA's neither?

Any ideas fellow airsofters? - Have just messaged the seller but likelihood is they won't know!!

Thanks in advance

Mike

Unscrew the bulb not the tail?

^ This is your best bet if you havn't already - when i got an m300 i unscrewed the back first and was a bit stumped. 

btw: if you get it to work let me know how you get on as i'm planning to grab one myself come next payday - would be particularly interested in the IR output and if you have any luck with tail switch compatibility. thanks!
