I know that counterweight pouch! I had the same dude make my battery pack pouch.
And looks good, should serve you well until you get bored and throw arc rails, new suspension, new shroud and mount, a strobe, a cover, bungies, and duals on it. |

At my current rate of progression, it will be about 2018 before I go crazy and upgrade again. Two years ago I started with a PVS-7, PASGT and legacy Rhino mount.
I just got the Rhino II and shroud a few days ago. I need to find my Phoenix strobe and slap it on that open square though. The IFF on the SF helmet light works good enough for 270 degrees but I want 360 degrees of "don't shoot this way" flashing light. |

Working on getting my helmet setup, couple questions for y'all:
Need something to connect my pvs14 to my Tvnc lanyard. The snap hook is too small to connect to the pvs14. Small keychain ring perhaps? Other suggestions? Need something on my helmet to distinguish myself from an animal, so I don't get shot I see a lot of strobes are IR and vis. Would a vis strobe be annoying while walking around with a pvs14? Or maybe something to hold a single chemlight on the top of my helmet? |

I hope my guns killed someone before they moved in with me. Shit, I hope they go out at night and kill bad guys while I'm sleeping.-30calTBLkid

If you are looking for something smaller and lighter, S&S Manta is awesome too, but a lot pricier. I have both and would recommend either one. Good luck! |

Haven't really tested it. Just got that thrown together last night before a shooting session. I'd rather have the t-reign more forward, but the velcro is limited on the TW. I also need to improve the attachment to the pvs14, although the cinched 550 will probably work, as-is. Always open to suggestions.

I needed a spare loaner helmet so I picked up an Airsoft FMA maritine cut (after drooling over Augee's rig). It came with the cover and mechanix gloves and has a knock-off Headlok dial system which actually works pretty darn good for $60 shipped. The shroud is also pretty solid, but I will likely change it out for something metal.
I wouldn't trust it for jumping out of planes, for for hiking and hunting, it has my stamp of approval. This helmet is also wearing my MOD3's with my Gen2 version of my Low Profile Battery Pack adapter. Pic 1 Pic 2 |

Once you get them in place, snip or bend the extra wire so it doesn't mar the optic body. I tried snipping, just marred my snips. I plan on carefully bending them. Edit: I suppose you could also use a split ring or D-Ring, but I can't bring myself to trust them once I've bent the thing to get it on and then closed. Please let us know what you settle on. You might come up with a better method. |
