Thanks! I'm glad you guys liked it. I thought I was gonna get heat for destroying the resin cast.
I mistakenly said it was aluminum, its actually Stainless steel. Since I was already taking some liberties with the project. I went ahead and added the to red arrows and the bolt just bellow the shroud. Also inverted the activation box for displaying purposes.
I believe the cast has shrunken over time and recastings. Judging from the pictures on the first post the end cap is definitely a Maglite cap, and the only two size options are C cells and D cells. The C is just way too small and the D would make sense considering vintage flash handles used D cells. However when I compared the size of the cast with a Maglite D cell cap, I found that the cast is noticeably smaller. So I went for a 1.5" stainless steel tube and I cut it down to 8-1/2" in length.
