Fulton USGI Angle Head MX-991/U Flashlight

MX-991/U Angle Head Light

The MX-991/U is the right-angle flashlight carried by US service members for decades, built by Fulton to the military's own specification. The L-shaped body puts the head at 90 degrees to the handle, so you can clip it to your gear, set it on the ground, or hold it against your chest and keep both hands free. It is a workhorse for the field, the vehicle and the toolbox, and a genuine piece of GI kit for collectors and reenactors.

Features

• Right-Angle Body — The head sits at 90 degrees to the handle, so the light points forward while the body hangs flat against your chest or pack.
• Olive Drab Housing — Molded in OD green, the low-reflectivity service color that keeps the light from standing out in the field.
• MX-991/U Pattern — The standard US military angle head light, carried under NSN 6230-00-264-8261.
• Made In USA By Fulton — Produced by Fulton Industries, whose maker's mark is molded into the body alongside the U.S. designation.
• Impact-Resistant Case — The one-piece molded body shrugs off knocks and keeps working after the kind of handling that cracks a cheaper light.
• Three Colored Lens Filters — Red, white and blue snap-in lenses let you cut your signature, read a map, or signal, swapped behind the head.
• Belt Clip And Hanging Ring — A sprung metal clip grips a belt or webbing, and a ring at the base lets you hang the light overhead.
• D-Cell Powered — Runs on standard D batteries loaded through the screw-off tail cap, so refills are cheap and available anywhere.
• Sliding Switch Guard — The thumb switch sits under a raised rib that stops it turning on by accident inside a pack.
