This is not a aesthetics mod to make the saber my own, but to keep the 4-aaa battery holder in a stunt saber from bouncing around and holds the batteries securely. I used a 1-1/4 in. x 6 in. PVC Solvent Weld Extension Tube from a supply store, chopped off 2 1/4 inch (the wider part) and used the rest to hold the battery holder. It's a very snug fit and to remove the batteries I need to use a rubber handled screw driver as a plunger to push it out of the pvc, but in my archon v3.1 & Initiate v4 it doesn't rattle. Note: these are shorter hilts. I have a Aeonv4 empty hilt on order which I have internals on, so I can compare and see how the pvc will work too. Hope this can help people who dislike loose batteries in a metal hilt rattling around.
