There have been several threads in the past; here is a chance to consolidate current concepts for the topic.
Ballistic rig on the left, scout rig on the right. The plates are both bolted down to keep from changing position, with the top strap minimizing stress on that joint, as well as providing a very convenient place to ty-rap the Guardians. The MSA rig is balanced on a styrofoam mannequin head with the PVS both up and down; it is like that on a real head as well. 
Edited to add a couple shots with the CSM bracket: 
Updated with the do rag replacement pic. 
Latest mods...some paint and an M600C/KM2:

Hey Augee or whomever, my old man wants me to put together a nice helmet for him "just like mine". I've got just about everything done but am hung up on helmet cover. I don't really want to buy TW new and have thus far managed to get all the TW stuff on the used market since they decided to be dick heads.
Is anybody else making a cover that fits the LTP? If I can't find a used LTP cover in the next couple of weeks I'm going to have to figure something else out. Helmet cover: ?? Need to figure this one out CW: Going to order a mohawk Lanyard: Going to order the wilcox one with velcro straps LTP: Done G-11: Done TW Peltor adapter: Done Peltors: Done Comms cables to hook everything up: Done |

I'm borderline considering the Breach as my go-to handheld to do this but with a D14. How's the Breach eye relief-wise, etc. Haven't used one. Do you need to get up closer on the eyepiece then the -14?

Be a while till it changes, so I'll play. First helmet, 2019 made Ops-Core bump. Maybe later in the year go Wilcox G24 and get better ears, perhaps next year duals. Rhinos aren't great, but I could live with em.

You're off to a great start with solid gear. The Rhino works great, can be used as a loaner latter and the bump can easily be upgraded. My only suggestion is to install a lanyard on your rig to keep from accidentally hitting the release and your 14 hitting the deck. |

Below is my latest setup. I'm big into once issued stuff so it has a milsurp MS2000, mount, and patches. The carbon bump helmet came out of Ft. Bragg and the Comtacs from a guy who used them in Syria for a few years. I put a bunch of 4D pads in it to make it quite comfy and right now I'm looking through a gen 3 ATN NVM-14. It looks kind of bare on the back but haven't found anything I "need" back there.

Do any of you guys run the Gentex TBH-II high cut? What do you think of it? Some super cool setups in this thread...I can't wait to get my PVS14 this month. May buy a helmet later this month too but trying to decide between the TBH or just getting an Ops Core bump.

Hey guys I’m new to Night Vision here, and for the fellas that’s running the Wilcox L4 G24 and a Wilcox J-Arm (NON Auto On/Off) Is the Back portion of the Arm suppose to sit on top of the Ocular Locking Ring/Collar or Sits in Front.. Because the Wilcox J-Arm sits on top when I try to Center it when tightening it down.. If I let it sit in front of the Locking Collar the J-Arm is Crooked.. Here’s a few photos..
