It includes a work package to take the lenses apart and replace components without having to replace the entire eyepiece assembly. If these were truly mil-spec assemblies, I would be able to take them apart and mix and match parts with any other oculars that meet the mil spec. That's the entire point of the mil spec.

Yeah. I was awaiting proof of their claim that it WAS milspec glass. As long as they had proof that what they sold is what they claimed they're good in my book.
But the "we gone sue you" look is never good. I get it, but it never ever works out. See: Griffin armament |

Old school tag to see how this shakes out.
For my own two cents, I was concerned about the sub-par looking glass but now UNV would have to eat a big old heaping serving of humble pie for me to ever do business with them again. And these are the guys I have used in the past to buy several "Carson" PVS14 housings. Wonder what I've really got |

Let’s see here...... Here are some facts for you, UNV:
1. Criticism is a first amendment right. Nothing that was said on this thread is disparaging 2. You failed to disclose the glass was not from Carson Industries. Yet; 3. You charged people the same price, knowing the Carson glass, made in the USA, cost more 4. You admitted that the glass is made in Singapore 5. You go off on a rant threatening people on this thread who are searching for answers How many other glass pieces were sold to other vendors and end users? Did UNV flood the market with this product? If this is how UNV is claiming to “protect” their reputation. Wow...... Will never be a buyer |

I just want to point a few things out here, before this gets any more messy than it needs to and causes a bunch of heartache for a potentially huge amount of people:
1) I ordered what any reasonable person would expect to be quality glass for the price. Even a cursory glance could determine this is not quality glass. So my lack of satisfaction is not an unreasonable response. 2) i redacted every mention of the vendor in question voluntarily and in good faith. Threats of lawsuits took place AFTER I redacted my statements, and the vendor ultimately ousted themselves. That’s on them, not on me or anyone else participating in this thread. 3) If you’re under any assumption that I’m just some random guy who can’t tell mil spec glass from cheap fakes, you’re wrong and I don’t appreciate being lied to just because you assume I won’t know the difference. Don’t piss on my neck and call it rain. I stated I would handle this over PM with the vendor, who instead decided to continue adding to the thread and dragging us all down the rabbit hole with them. I may have cracked the lid on a Pandora’s box by asking a simple question, but I’m not the one who blew the lid off of it and they have nobody but themselves to blame for the backlash that comes as a result of that action. This got really stupid really quick and by the way things look, my two stupid eyepieces are absolutely a drop in this bullshit bucket. Of that I can absolutely guarantee. |

Well looks like UNV is another vendor on the do not use list. Bummer they used to have good stuff.

well if nothing else this thread has really educated me on glass.
I have heard of knock off glass before but never really seen any comparisons between anything (not that anything here is fake), and never seen the exploded diagrams like posted here and ive been in the NVG forum for several years now. It's some really good learning info. I dont think tlandoe07 has done anything wrong, not once did he mention XXXX company is where I got this and its 100% fake, but he obviously has experience with glass and knows what he is looking at. Dont forget we are dropping serious coin to play in the NVG world and when you dont get what you were expecting.... Well I probably wouldnt be nearly as composed lol. I tend to lean on the misscomunication side. I think the lenses OP got probably do meet some milspec qualification but are obviously different and the pictures of the glass Chosos ordered were definitely not what was pictured on the website when ordering. I think the whole thing could have been rectified by an additional option on the site when ordering. XXX glass made at this location - with a note stating the glass coating looks different and the housing is made of plastic instead of machined aluminum but meets milspec contract XXXX XXX typical PVS-14 glass - visible optics coatings and machined aluminum housing (what we all "know" now after this thread) The customer and vendor know what exactly is being ordered and expected for delivery at that point. |

Sounds to me for this to be made right you should have some new carson glass coming to you in exchange for what you have.

Oh boy. I’m wanting to get into the NV game and started to do some research. I know that I won’t be using a vendor for any purchases.

Originally Posted By UNV: These lenses are made by Avi Ayalon (original developer/partner for Avimo . . . Now Qioptiq) for Apache Industries. They are the same lenses that qualified for DLA/Defense Logistics Agency by Nivisys before they were purchased by Relativity Capital. They meet the requirements of A3256352 and are 100% MIL SPEC. They are not Chinese, they are not fake, and they are not any lower quality than Qioptiq(Carson) glass. I would challenge anyone to compare the image through these lens with any MIL SPEC glass and tell a difference. You cannot. The only difference is they have a little bit more of a glossy appearance on the plastic dipoter adjustment, an orange 0-ring, and they are in stock so you can get your lenses quickly. If Qioptiq glass was on the shelf we would have sent you that instead. They are equal in quality and price. You clock the diopter by moving the indicator ring, it's not a static setting from the factory. This ensures there is no way the diopter setting can be "jacked up" because you can put the white dot anywhere on the circumference of the eyepiece. That is how every PVS-14 eyepiece is so that you can set 0 on a device because different devices have different 0 settings. You were correct to think that we are a reputable company, and always have been. You are incorrect to think that we would ever try to be dishonest with a customer. Never have, never will. That is how we run our business. Our typical procedure in this situation if you were unhappy is to mail you a replacement with a sticker return label in the box. I know that we offered to exchange them, but I think we dropped the ball on that and I am sorry if that is not how it was presented. At any rate - accusing someone of selling counterfeit product is a very serious accusation. People know that they will be taken care up properly when they buy from us, and we never have and never will sell counterfeit product. Fortunately one of our many good customers sent this to us so we can defend ourselves. I understand if you feel like you got jipped, but your ordered MIL SPEC eyepieces 4/29 and we had MIL SPEC eyepieces on your doorstep 5/1. Are these accusations really necessary? They look a little glossier than you were expecting, I get that and the offer still stands to ship you a Qioptiq pair if you like. View Quote Uh my man, “jipped” (gypped) is no longer cool to use. Just a heads up. (I learned this earlier this year the hard way, Gypsy’s don’t like it. Haha) |

"I'm not an attorney, but I play one on the internet" seems to get tossed around quite a bit. I personally don't like the threats of lawsuits being thrown around by site sponsors against paid and unpaid site members. I actually took it as a direct threat against me and my character, since UNV directly quoted my post.
I am truly hoping the vendor in question is able to just confirm the lens assemblies are 100% milspec. This industry cannot keep eating itself, as other members have pointed out. The AI thread was bad enough. I really do like Rich & Tyler. I spent some time on the phone with Rich when I bought my Filmless tubes from them and Tyler was great when we were doing those DRS E6000 DIY Thermal Cameras. They are also one of the few places you can rent gear to try it out. I look forward to seeing the tech information on those lenses shared within this tech community forum. |

Here are just a few samples of mil spec glass I had lying around. They are from different manufacturers and varying vintages. One thing they have in common is they all lock at +2 for their maximum counter clockwise rotation. This condition is actually specified in the 23&P:
Attached File As you can see with the mystery glass, even when I took the lens cell out and adjusted it over until it would land as close as possible to +2, it still went past +2 (which is allowable to some degree, but not more than two holes in the indicator plate) and also in an inconsistent amount between eyepieces. So if you bought these, you would have no choice but to totally disassemble the eyepiece and properly set the diopter ring, which is an asspain that no military NVG maintenance shop has time for, certainly mine doesn’t.

The eyepieces in question appear to be the same eyepieces I received on the goggles I returned to Steele Industries. Granted I didn’t order “milspec” eyepieces, they just came on the DTNVGs I ordered. I’m curious though since I remember noticing the edge to edge clarity just wasn’t there. I have an old video on my phone and it seems that was definitely the case. It kind of gave the fisheye. I was sent a picture of my goggles being “built” and it appears they have the same orange oring as the ones from AGM. There might even be a mix of two different styles in the table. My buddy compared his TNVC goggles to mine which have the more grey finish. Whereas mine had the glossy black finish and seem to be similar to the ones posted here. I’m nowhere near as competent with night vision parts in this thread as most. Do these appear to be the same eyepieces? I wonder how prevalent these are among the newer vendors.

Wow this is a hot mess.
From the evidence presented here, it appears that these lenses are not mil-spec; at least they are not interchangeable with other mil-spec parts. Which as stated, is sorta the whole point. They are being sold as mil-spec parts, for the same price even. There appears to be a shit-load of them, that have "flooded" the market. The vendor flat out denied that they are anything but the genuine article. With great emphasis. The vendor threatened legal action against anyone who would say different. Arfcom reacted in typical fashion. In this day and age, you cannot bam-boozle the public. Information is power. I don't have a dog in this fight, except to say when it appears someone is pissing on my head and telling me it's raining, I'm gonna say something. |

Correct, and as I understand it, thousands of dollars worth of these are being returned by resellers as we speak. They can just make things right and send you some carson glass. They did send me a shipping label. But replacing two pieces of glass when there are customers needing hundreds replaced is a much bigger issue.

The suggestion or threat to sue anybody is complete nonsense from UNV. And no one on this thread should fear your first amendment right. Certainly and absolutely no one should be harassed into changing or redact their comments. We don’t live in “Singapore” where these lens came from where they do censor people.
The subject said Fake Glass. And, the poster did it exactly right by providing the information and asking questions in the thread without mentioning the physical name of the vendor. At no time, did anyone mention UNV, except for themselves. Poorly executed ranting response from UNV calling themselves out does not constitute as libel. It’s called beating yourself with your own hockey stick. What is wrong with UNV threatening people. If it was that easy to censor people, the entire news organization would be out of business. Ever read a headline from Huffington post, good lord. UNV can simply address to the group what they claimed since they self inflicted this situation onto themselves. 1. Are the lens “100%” mill spec as UNV posted on this thread?!?!? And I also agree with others. You cannot show a product picture and description on a website and substitute for something else without the buyers consent, period. Bothersome that these lenses could potentially be flooded in the market and people haven’t realized what happened. |

I hate to even bring this up - but if these are the eyepieces, are there any concerns over objectives at all? If you make glass, its generally more profitable to make multiple kinds of glass.
