I recently acted upon some good advice and sold a nice pre-‘89 ban Chinese AK for some stupid money(to me, anyway), in order to possibly finance some night vision. After doing a lot of reading here I’ve realized how little I know about the subject. I’m fascinated and more than a little humbled when I ask,
“How much night vision can I get for $3K”And find out the answer is;
“Not as much as I thought…”The first step is determining what I want it for and what I’ll be doing with it. I’ve read several posts in other sub-forums of people having buyer’s remorse because they aren’t snooping-n-pooping with them all the time. Fair enough, so I need to honestly evaluate the why/when/where of NVG ownership in my area.
I asked a local Arfcommer if he had, or knew anyone, with NODs & he said that he did. He also discovered that the setup he wanted would cost him $9-15K, so he bought a Jeep instead, since he drives it all the time.
