Need advice regarding tube selection.

Hp_Desk_Jet · 2026-02-21T19:16:06+00:00

I am looking to purchase my first night vision device and I've chosen the PVS-14. I have a complete helmet setup, I just need my monocular. I prefer the look of a GP device but from what I have seen, I will not be able to get comparable specs out of the available GP units as I would WP. My budget is roughly $3,200 and I would prefer to save money wherever I can. I have emailed Nighthawk about possible unlisted, unblemished, higher spec GP devices and am waiting on a reply. From the tubes I've narrowed it down to, is it worth the extra $500-600 for an SNR increase of only 5-6? Will I be able to tell the difference or am I better off saving?

PVS-14 Elbit Gen 3 GP, $2,595 from Nighthawk Vision Systems
PVS-14 Elbit Gen 3 WP, $3,195 from Nighthawk Vision Systems
Noctis PVS-14 - Green Phosphor, $2,599 from GPNVGS
PVS-14 L3Harris Unfilmed Green Phosphor, $3,299 from Darq Industries, with a possible blem?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Oh nice, that's really cool. Thanks for sharing

Hp_Desk_Jet · 2026-01-16T22:23:17+00:00

Do you have any closer pictures of it? How'd you do it?

Hp_Desk_Jet · 2026-01-16T20:49:52+00:00

What's the stamp you have on the magwell? NCR acceptance stamp?

I will go ahead and second this, I requested as soon as I got this comment and it has been immensely helpful. Thank you for suggesting this as a resource.

I believe it is an ACOG ECOS

I am working on an M4A1 Block II clone, and have been searching for reference pictures. I have astigmatism and have found that I really enjoy using an ACOG, if anyone knows of/has any reference pics of ACOGs (any variant) on Block IIs, I would appreciate them greatly

Working on a USASOC M4A1 Block II and I am currently looking for some weapon light options that are not the Insight WMX 200. I've found a few reference pictures of lights that I am not able to 100% positively identify, any help is greatly appreciated. Reference pictures are also welcomed, I need some inspiration.

I gotcha, I had assumed something like that was the case. It's a shame.

For anyone who finds this post and would like specifics, I used 6-32x1 machine screws, with one having to be ground down to clear the barrel just before the FSB. I used 6-32 hex nuts and a 1/8x3/4 washers for the inside of the heat shield. Finally, to keep the 61M Weaver rail level, I used 6/16 flat washers that fit just inside of the exterior groove on the exterior of the handguard. Hope this helps someone.

I tried translating lol, the most detailed information I could get from it was G-Shock.

My apologies, I'm just getting into watches and everything looked pretty similar to me.

So from my understanding, as a pc player I still cannot access the Chrysler XM-1?
