THE ARMS #40 IS 0.950" WHEN STOWED. THE #40 STD A2 IS 1.150" STOWED.

IF YOU COULD MOUNT A PVS-14 VARIANT OVER IT, THE PVS-14 WOULD NOT BE COAXIAL WITH THE AIMPOINT. SO THE ARMS #40 SERIES AND A WEAPON MOUNTED NVD ARE NOT REALLY COMPATIBLE.

SO, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO:

1. SWITCH REAR SIGHTS, OR...
2. LOSE YOUR REAR SIGHT, OR...
3. GET AN I.R. LASER.

THERE ARE A FEW RECEIVER MOUNTS OUT THERE RIGHT NOW. TWO OF THE MORE COMMONLY ENCOUNTERED ARE:

THE PRI M69 USES AN ARMS THROW LEVER BASE, IS HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE, AND IS VERY STOUT. BUT YOU MUST REMOVE THE REAR SIGHT TO USE IT. AND IT MOUNTS VIA THE ADAPTER ARM THREADED HOLE. SO YOU CAN'T GO FROM GUN TO HELMET MOUNT OR VICE VERSA.

THE GG&G QD MOUNT COMES IN TWO HEIGHTS. IT WILL ALLOW LOWER PROFILE BUIS TO BE UTILIZED, LIKE KAC OR GG&G. IT IS NOT VERY ROBUST, THOUGH, AS IT ONLY MOUNTS VIA A NARROW RING. BUT, IT IS INDEED "QD" AND THE ADAPTER ARM CAN STAY ATTACHED, SO YOU CAN EASILY GO FROM HELMET TO GUN AND BACK WITH THIS COMBO.

THERE'S ALSO A RAIL MOUNT SOMETIMES ISSUED WITH THE PVS-14 FOR FLAT TOP USE. IT REQUIRES REAR SIGHT REMOVAL, TOO.

MY SOLUTION: INFRARED LASER. GG&G TALL 6015 MOUNT. ITTF6015P, OMNI-IV MILSPEC W/ VARIABLE GAIN.

CAUTION: WITH NIGHT VISION ON THE GUN, YOU ARE EXTREMELY LIMITED AT WHERE YOU CAN SAFELY LOOK & POINT.

IN MY LINE OF WORK, I HAVE OBSERVED THAT "APPARENT I.Q." IS DIRECTLY PROPORTINAL TO THE AMOUNT OF AMBIENT WHITE LIGHT. DO NOT GET STUPID IN THE DARK WITH A LOADED GUN!

THINK ABOUT IT. UNIT POWER NVD'S BELONG ON THE HEAD/HELMET MOUNT EXCEPT WHEN PRONING OUT. THEN, YOU CAN PUT IT ON THE GUN, SINCE YOU'RE GOING TO BE POINTING "DOWNRANGE".

I WILL AGREE THAT THE SIR RAIL WILL RAISE THE REAL ESTATE UNDER THE PVS-14 MOUNT 0.46". BUT THE AIMPOINT DOT WILL STILL BE AT THE SAME HEIGHT. WHEN YOU LOOK THROUGH THE NVD, THE AIMPOINT DOT IS IN THE TOP OF THE AIMPOINT FIELD OF VIEW, AND IN THE BOTTOM OF THE NVD FIELD OF VIEW.

DOABLE? CERTAINLY.

OPTIMUM? INFRARED LASER.

THE VARIABLE GAIN IS TYPICALLY FOUND ON ONLY THE BETTER NVD'S, SO QUALITY AND VARIABLE GAIN GO HAND IN HAND. ITT DOES MAKE A CIVILIAN " NIGHT QUEST PVS-14" NAMED MODEL, WITH A BASIC GEN III TUBE, GUARANTEED TO BE 45 LP/MM OR BETTER, WITH THE VARIABLE GAIN FEATURE. IN THE BASIC GEN III TUBE, I MIGHT BE TEMPTED TO STAY WITH THE ITT NQ 6015 AND SKIP THE VARIABLE GAIN.

WE ARE ITT NVD DEALERS, IF WE CAN BE OF SERVICE, BTW.
