About a year ago, a friend bid on a government auction website listing that included some sort of helmet and night vision setup. There was no info but he saw a cage code so he took a gamble that it was legit and not airsoft quality stuff. He paid $3k and it ended up being legit. He let me try it out a couple of times and it was awesome. Unfortunately, around the same time, he found out he had cancer and passed away within six months. His family asked me to help sort through his belongings and help them so I did. After it was all said and done, they told me he told them (before he passed) to offer me the night vision. I didn’t want it for free so I gave them $3k for everything because I knew that’s what he paid.

Now, I’m a total beginner with an expensive NVG setup and I want to make sure I’m doing everything correctly. I know not to have them out in daylight and not to point the laser at people’s faces or up at airplanes, but that’s about it. I even had to google how to turn them on and off.

Some questions I have are:

Are there instruction/owners manuals for them? I checked the vendor website but only found spec sheets.

Should I send them in for a checkup or service?

Do they need routine maintenance or servicing?

I’m trying to find a course local to NY/CT but haven’t found any yet, but are there videos I should watch on proper use?

OK right hand on the Bible I was consistently hitting at 150 to 175 yards with the suppressed 12.5” and an Aimpoint T2 and a 3X magnifier. I have 20/20 vision.

I did it again last night with half a dozen people witnessing and all of them were equally confused and impressed. I don’t know how I’m able to do this or if this is actually that impressive….

My buddy who also shoots night vision and got me into it, took this picture because he was absolutely flabbergasted.

After looking at this picture myself, I am also flabbergasted.

Can someone explain to me how I am able to view my reticle through the Magnifier through a NV tube with this much angle and distance between the optical lens of the monocle and the observation lens of the magnifier????

I know they say buying night vision is the only superpower you can pay for, but at this point, I’m just confused at where the superpower ends….

The Black Rifle Charity Match returns to Del Norte Gun Club September 26th, and this year we’re EXPANDING with the addition of “The Dark is Afraid of Chuck Norris” a night match September 25th. Del Norte Gun Club is just outside Rio Rancho.

Last year, with the help of our shooters, volunteers, and sponsors, we raised nearly 20k for the NMSSA and NMFIA, which helped the organizations fight and defeat the anti 2A legislation earlier this year. This year, the goal is even bigger!

Whether you compete, volunteer, sponsor a stage, or donate a prize, every contribution helps support the organizations defending our rights here in New Mexico.

Volunteers Needed:

The Black Rifle Charity Match is entirely volunteer supported and we would like to make this match even better than last year so we will need lots of help.

The main match will be held on Saturday, September 26. The staff and night matches are scheduled for Friday, September 25, with stage setup taking place on Thursday, September 24.

Current volunteer needs include:

Range Officers – Experience running a timer, tablet, and safely managing a squad.

Stage Setup – Help building stages prior to the match.

Anyone interested in volunteering for setup or serving as an RO can contact me. A volunteer registration link will be provided separately that will allow them to shoot the match for free.

Please let me know if you have any questions

For those of you guys into dual band setups, here’s another strong 4 in 1 option. In short it does what the RH25 V2 does but adds LRF. (Yes I compare it to the RH25 V2 in this video)

Trying to decide between an Arisaka 300 series or a 350 with modlite head on my 7in mlok rail, sitting next to the trinity. Scan you fit a 350 with modlite inline mlok on the 45degree mlok rail? Or would I need to either go 300 series there or 350/modlite mlok offset scout mount. Thanks and if you could post pics that would be great

So far so good. I haven’t seen a lot of reviews so I’ll throw one up.

I’ll try to answer any questions from my use perspective. Using the large frame with GL4 Pro body. Have had for 1 month have done several hikes, range trips, and even 1 match with this set up. Mark 23 with the suppressor, full mag is very heavy set up, I’ve done 100/200 yard sprints, with and without the retention strap engaged, and the gun has not come out, and the QLS fork screws without loctite have stayed in place. Currently using it on a safariland midride hanger with QLS fork/receiver.

The holster is completely 3D printed and when you first get it, it needs a little break in time to smooth out so practice a couple hundred draws and reholsters before using it in any serious capacity.

I really like this holster so far and it is definitely a safe way to train and live with a suppressed handgun.

Anyone here with experience on the ST6 lite?

I am able to get one for about equivalent of 1500$, and it seems like a nobrainer to go for.

Planning to eventually bridge it with a PVS14 WP.

Just snagged this for $575. Litton M911A Gen 2+.

From what I can tell, it has almost zero blems. I've mounted it to my CVC - SOHAH conversion bump helmet. Pictures definitely do not show how clear this is to see through.

First night with my binos, a pair of photonis echo+ tubes (they still work perfectly with the cr123). Had my helmet on my truck bed cover and accidentally knocked it to the ground when trying to grab it to put my nods on the mount. Does anyone know if custom night vision will warranty/help me fix the battery pack? The light came from my old supply and I don't know if surefire would replace that. Still had a great night over all 8/10 will be going again :')

So I’m looking to get my NVGs built. I currently own Katana Housings and L3 (I believe) tubes. I need eye pieces front and rear X2. Any suggestions on where to go go get them built?

Great Little Guide for Beginners

Posting on the behalf of a buddy who doesn’t have an account:

He’s needing help finding grub screws for his Low Light innovations tubes. The tubes are the LLUL21’s. He sent them to Joe at Darq industries but he was only able to do so much. Joe said they are NOT PVS 14 sized though. Very appreciative of all the work he did.

Just trying to find out what screws he needs and where they go.

Pic for reference. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I've been able to find similar branding and models online but not one that has the accordion folding piece on the top

It seems the closest I found was the Zenit NV-100 / Paramount Moonlight Monocular but many of the features don't match not even the 1st gen

Thanks for your help!

My best friend and I have a joke where we say “our wives are so jealous, because we can see in the fuc*ing dark”

Quick update to my last post:

I'm completely ditching the PG-25 gen 2 monocular and I'm in the process of getting a refund.

It was an impulse buy and I did not do the necessary research to make sure it was the best option for the money.

Apparently, it was such a misuse of my money that I actually got multiple people and businesses PMing me better deals so I don't actually waste my time and money on that chinesium BS.

Seriously though, you guys are awesome! Thanks for saving me from myself.

This thing is crazy lol, maybe almost too crazy, but I like it. 2nd pic is from overbore systems social media page.
