View Quote Never say never, and all, I've seen 'em used before, but it's not the "normal" way of running them, they tend to trap heat and moisture (leading to fogging), and remove a lot of situational awareness, particularly with binos when your only real indication of ambient visible light conditions is around the goggles. I've been a pretty unrepentant Ops-Core fan over the Team Wendys, even before there was any political hoopla over them, so I can't say I disapprove of your choice to run your Sentinels on the Ops-Core. FWIW, if you find the TW suspension and pads more comfortable, you can always swap them and install all that stuff in the Ops-Core. ~Augee |

I got my Sentinels from you a couple weeks ago from VIC. I would have a MAWL but that is also unobtanium at the moment. When you get the ops core bumps, i requested to be notified. WE'll see about that. NC is cool though. Good to hear about the eyecups. NOw how bout the demist shields and sacrificial lenses on the fronts? Should i be running those since i have em. Or maybe the amber filters???? sorry, newb as you know |

Need a different peltor adapter etc. Its comfortable and it was in stock. For some reason i prefer new vs 2nd hand. It tends to itch my brain if its not new.... Thanks TNVS for all you help here.

When you flip them closed it brings everything very close to you in focus. So you set your normal focus to infinity and when you need to see close (in a room for example) you flip them closed and bam, everything is clear. Keep in mind this also restricts light but with new WP sents it shouldn’t be a prob. You can spend the money on actual products designed for this like the phokus(spelling?) or the tasier eclipse(again, spelling?) or you can save a lot of money and just buy two Butler creek caps (for scopes) and make the holes yourself. So it offers protection and added focus. |

Will check out the size later, but the caps are definitely a lot thicker. |

The threaded objective ring of the ANVIS is nominally the same size as that of the PVS-14, measuring my AVS-6 objectives versus the PVS-14 objectives on my MOD-3s, there was a .01" difference.
Most PVS-14 lens accessories will work perfectly fine with the threaded ANVIS objectives (there are ANVIS objectives without the threaded collar that are a smaller diameter), the internal threading is identical to work with LIFs, and the OD is close enough that accessories like the PVS-14 compass and others work just fine with ANVIS objectives. The Butler Creek 09A Eye fits the same on the ANVIS objective as it does on a PVS-14 objective, a little bit of electrical tape as a shim gets a good friction fit. ~Augee |

Nice setup! On the peltors, are those plugs for a boom mic? They look similar to the ones on my comtacs.

Munzy and Augee are right, the Butler Creek 09A fit great with a little tape shimming. But instead of electrical tape I used some cut down black self-adhering bandage tape, which unlike most electrical tape leaves no sticky residue behind when you remove it.

View Quote In fact it must trick the autogating because with my caps on, in very bright conditions, my image will be brighter than with the caps flipped up. Not a huge difference mind you, but noticeable. I took a 223 casing, heated it up, and burned a hole. Didn’t have a drill at the time. |

Just shot this guy 2 hrs ago at sunset. Over 200lbs. Dropped at 100 yrds 6.8spc 90 gr TNT. Sc0pe was a Reap-Ir. Light in the pic is way more than there was at the shot. Brand new Galaxy S9+ really gathers light. The sun was below the horizon in this shot. TNVC Sentinels WP ftw. The REAP IR is pretty sweet Attached File
