Hi guys I just picked up a pair of night vision goggles and was thinking about using a scope ring to mount to my AR behind my eotech my question is do u think that the recoil or cycling of the weapon will ruin the googles? Also here is a link to the goggles themselves, Thanks.

'); also i found it easier to mount it and just look through one side of the goggles since u can still see everything plus its hard to put ur chin over the stock to look down the sight let alone shoot it.

It won't be fesiable in how you discribe. As mentioned the PVS-14 is best for a weapons mounted with red dot (I've done it with ACOG scopes and EOTechs) With the PVS-7 the best thing to add is an IR laser (Surefire sales a model that that replaces the lens of a 2 cell 123 weapons light) Second way around your perdicument is wear the PVS-7 either on helment or harness and mount your EOTech forward on a handguard rail. This way you can bring your rifle up to eye level (wearing NODs) and have sight forward enough to not interfer and cowitness (did this in 2004 with an EOTech 552 on both a M4 and M14 -scout rail) Best EOTech would be their NV models 551 and 552. This would work but not the quickest on target but one advantage over the IR laser is that you know which IR dot is yours (can get confusing when 4-7 guys IR lasers are on the same target)
Weapons without the NODs on.

Get a helmet and the gear you need you can get it all for under $100 on ebay. Or at least you use to be able to.
What you have in the link is a PVS-7 style NOD. They cannot be mounted to the rifle period. NOT MINE JUST EXAMPLES HELMET WITH PLATE PLATE AND RHINO MOUNT SWING ARM whta you need: helmet in your size base plate rhino mount the pvs 7 does not need a swing arm the lug goes right into the rhino mount a parachetest retnetion strap set and the foam impact pad help to keep the helemt from wobbling to much as well Any other questions just email me. |
