Would it comply with the host of your laser Blord?
Answer, yes. you'd need to take the focus ring off that comes with the laser and replace it with the GITD one. what color are you thinking of getting?
Very nice, you should do a review or video demonstrating
Already done

UPDATE ON MY LASER:
i purchased a wf-501b blue camo host and it arrived today. went to swap the solid blue host that Blord uses and as soon as i disassembled the camo one i had a bad feeling. It is made soooooo poorly, all the threads are COMPLETELY filled with gunk and it made a god awful scratching noise unscrewing all the pieces (problem #1). Spent about 30 minutes cleaning the threads out and it was a lot better. Next took Blord's blue host apart and realized the tail cap clickers are completely different (problem #2) and the one that comes with the camo host doesn't work in Blord's laser (see pictures below). I wanted to swap out the black rubber piece anyways so i took the clicker out and put it in the camo tail cap then dropped the heat sink in as well and tightened everything up.....problem #3. The camo host isn't the same size as Blord's host. it is smaller internally, the heat sink doesn't fit all the way in the host so there are small gaps, roughly 1/16-5/54, between the top two joints (for the new members who don't know what a 501b dissembled looks like click
HERE)
To sum it up, the host that comes with Blord's build is such a high quality compared to other 501b hosts. All the threads are clean, screw together smoothly and give you no problems. His are made of a heavier, stronger metal instead of a cheap super lightweight aluminum that almost feels as if i can snap it in my hands. The finish on Blord's hosts are perfectly smooth and even and look just amazing. Don't try and replace the host on his laser's, i wanted to customize mine and it turned out to be a waste. On the up side, now i have a nice looking host but need to get a custom heat sink to fit in the smaller dimensions :/ and also got to replace the plain black tail cap piece
Blord, keep up the great work on your builds. The quality really shows itself and makes for a great end product. Anyone on the fence about buying one of these lasers, i will just say DO IT. You wont regret it and the quality is just amazing!

Full review is still in progress, i am absolutely swamped with school work and getting ready for graduation on top of being sick as a dog, so its taking me much longer than i thought
