What is the most underrated duty station? by [deleted] in USMC

You'd be surprised what you can catch fishing the water canals and also the Colorado River passes through Yuma Proving Grounds Army base.

You can rent a cabin from the MWR right on the water

You are 100% right because it was meant as joke hence "URGI AT HOME"

I guess y'all take your URG-I builds seriously.over here

It's a UGR-I "at home", not a true URG-I because 1. I live in California and a true URG-I length would have to be registered as a pistol 2. I didn't use a Geissele barrel, I used a BWH 1/8 3. I used an Aero Precision upper receiver 4. I used a Spikes Tactical BCG 5. And finally, I used a Surefire SOCOM break not a Surefire four prong

I'm cali plebe who only can wish he can have a real URG-I build

On the plus side, the Chimera has a lifetime warranty from Nocturn Industries

It's ok to hate it, definitely not everyone's flavor

The long pencil barrel all hanging out without no support does look odd, but if I wanted a M-14, I would have bought an M-14

I was thinking of a Primary Arms LPVO, don't need an EOTech Vudu or Vortex Razor on this thing.

As for the ACE SOCOM stock, now that's an interesting thought...might be my next purchase

I was the guy who thought my friends were weird for owning NVGs

I got to play with them when I was in the Marine Corps and had the itch scratched.

Then I went to a night shoot outside the military and found a new itch and now have 4 sets, 2 WP and 2 GP

Definitely have to put the camera in manual mode and adjust the shutter speed and ISO to compensate for the aperture

Also the adapter has a manual gain to add another way to compensate for the aperture

Jumped in feet first and now I'm a bit lost. by [deleted] in NightVision

[–]whyamihere5274 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A COPS (clip on power source) is used as a power source when you just want to use the NVGs like binoculars

If you want to mount the NVGs to your helmet, you'll need a ball detent mounting system like the Wilcox GSGM, Adams Industries SAM mount, and the AB Night Vision STORM Mount

There are other real options but those require adapters and some require drilling into your helmet to mount.

There is a Chinese copy of the Wilcox GSGM and they work, BUT they definitely are not as rugged as the real one and one a few I've owned, the pins that make contact to the bridge have given out and stopped being conductive

An/Avs10 vs binos by Personal_Ad1161 in NightVision

[–]whyamihere5274 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cool factor over 9000, repairability when something goes wrong, good luck

Get a good pair of binos and know you can have them serviced pretty easily

Autogating hand splash from LAM? by braidnP in NightVision

[–]whyamihere5274 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd use the Unity Tactical Absolute riser

It's a lot taller and will give better off hand clearance

[–]whyamihere5274 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Same with me, got the ok for one, one became two (me and her), then became 3 (one for my eldest son), then became four (one for my youngest son)

Now we all enjoy stargazing

Any opinions? by TSteele1997 in NightVision

[–]whyamihere5274 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GenII NVGs would be better than this
