I couldn't find a date on it. Surely they only used the light
for general duties. I dont know a thing about MagLights but I
reckon if you had that light on trying to snipe they would throw
rocks at you?

I like my incans, just fail to see the point in such a
cumbersome set up on a rifle, its one area where modern liggts
rule supreme.
I do have a theory that the reason many of us prefer nw emitters
is because we all recall the incan glow from our youth with
affection. Scarily, if this theory is true, a generation will
soon grow up looking on blue and purple torch beams with
affection :o

Back in the 80's Maglites wer the bomb. Now they are pretty
much a waste of time compared to other lights.

I can't imagine that used even in the 80's. Looks like
something they would have used in the late 60's over in 'Nam or
something.

That was state of the art back then. What is future guy going to
say about our crappy huge lights?

I'm already saying this about lights I bought three years ago. I
think it's called progress... It's too bad we can't trade them
in on next year's model. ;D

As far as I can remember, the maglites are among the 'top of the
line' in those years. They are also considered bright at those
times so it is definitely better than using the crappy lights of
the eighties.
Tritium sights and NVGs are also not used in the eighties so
there is a lesser risk of being shot by another person wielding
a rifle because that other person would need a light himself to
look through his sights.
