nothing special but i'll throw my stuff up.
years ago when I was running a single 14. I used to run white light on one helmet rail and a surefire M1 on the other rail. But I realized that I rarely ever used either one so I opted to "slick" my helmet a little bit. ditched the lights on the rails and cleaned up all the extra doo-dads and what not. feels less bulky and more streamlined now. I have a headlamp I keep around my neck if I ever need white light Back when I was running a 14  What im running now, and yes that is a home made "Nerds" device since I already have tons of velcro and shock cord. took me 10 minutes to make one.

Trying to improve the IHPS helmet. Made a bastard harness out of a Team Wendy cam-fit and the mounting points for the helmet. Feels fairly solid so far.

I've really come to like their gear and may post my dedicated NV Helmet soon. Tell you guys this though. They say if you fall in between Size 1 and Size 2 be very careful. I fell exactly on the nose and Size 2 was a tad large. Had to add pads for it to fit right. |

I think I've got it to a place I'm content for the time being. Ops-Core bump, 4D pads, Wilcox G24 & modular bridge, 2 WP 14's, AMP helmet mount with AXL adadpters and Sordin Pro ear pro, Thrym Variarc with Surefire M300V, Agilite helmet bridge & lead counterweight. I'm also currently storing my handheld Surefire on the side of the helmet until I get my battle belt finished up then it'll be on there. Not pictured is the FLIR Breach on a Wilcox arm that I can pop onto the bridge when I'm loaning a 14 to my hunting partner. I've got a lot of time under a helmet but almost none with NV so I'm pretty excited to get it all together.

So...
The Axl Advanced RAC Link for MSA Sordins are only designed to work with the Over The Head Variants. I did not see this warning when I ordered the full kit including the OpsCore AMP headset arms. I did not understand the reason for the incompatibility until I had already begun to irreversible disassemble my Sordins. It was at this point that I seriously regretted not returning everything before I had started down this path, and buying Peltor COMTACs or OpsCore AMPs instead. However... Fully committed, one drink into my evening and hacksaw in hand... I found a way to make it work. I hope this cautionary tale is of used to someone here. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Terrato: @DV8EDD it's very subtle and challenging to photograph but, the rear (non-wired) studs where the neck band connect to the ear cups are flush from the factory (no groove for the RAC Links to engage under). A couple of gentle passes with a hacksaw took enough material off the studs and the ear cups underneath that the RAC Link has some engagement, and won't easily slip off the stud.

This is my work in progress Frankenstein helmet setup. I'm still kinda figuring out what works for me and what I like. I haven't completely decided what methods I want to use for retention so there is some loose cordage that needs to be trimmed.
My philosophy in life is to be as minimalist as possible. I'm trying to get my helmet to reflect that and be as light as possible without anything on it that I don't absolutely need. My long term goal is to transition from a monocular to a set of binos.  Attached File Attached File Attached File |

I bought a Wilcox J-arm from a buddy. Only issue is it puts the PVS14 a bit farther from the eye.
So I swapped my G24 and L4 for a G69(?) which brings it closer to the eye. Makes me glad I didn't sell it; found it all locked up, did a complete disassembly and cleaning and it works smoothly now. As an aside, if anyone is interested in buying a Norotos Universal Shroud, AKA2, and a DDA for the left eye, let me know.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By TCBA_Joe: I bought a Wilcox J-arm from a buddy. Only issue is it puts the PVS14 a bit farther from the eye. So I swapped my G24 and L4 for a G69(?) which brings it closer to the eye. Makes me glad I didn't sell it; found it all locked up, did a complete disassembly and cleaning and it works smoothly now. As an aside, if anyone is interested in buying a Norotos Universal Shroud, AKA2, and a DDA for the left eye, let me know. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/108584/20220213_141943-2278351.jpg You might try the Wilcox auto off J-arm, it angles to the rear a little. I have the G69 on an airframe and with the Wilcox auto off J-arm it can slide back far enough to touch my eyebrow. |

I have the G69 on an airframe and with the Wilcox auto off J-arm it can slide back far enough to touch my eyebrow. I got a very good deal on this arm. I recognize that the auto off is angled back, but the one I got was significantly less expensive. A buddy is selling a massive lot of them for $200/ea and mine was buddy prices. The G69 works well with this J-arm and I can get it close enough with no issue. Not so much with the G24. But I think the G24 will work on my bump with the thinner shell. But it's at work so I haven't tried it yet. ETA: I'm also partially humble bragging about the full restoration of the mount. |

I found the norotos dual dovetail adapter gets it far back as the auto off j-arm and is a lot more solid. I don't ever switch eyes so took the second dovetail off mine. |

Helmet is perfect so I'm not changing that. I recall seeing an adaptor that solved for this but cant find it again for the life of me. It connects between the mount and the J-arm I think. Any internet gurus know what I'm talking about? |

Us the picture attachment not the url link, it'll have [img] brackets. I'm not sure if icloud works for embedding pictures on this website. I used to use imgur, but with a paid account we can upload pictures directly now. |
