Just FYI for anyone researching... Just ordered my -14's late Saturday night. Spoke with Vic on PM here and Jaimie (ops manager for them) called me today - they are running 2-3 weeks lead time on these right now. carry on First, thank you for the order! 
We WERE down to ZERO wait and stock on the shelves last month! ITT and L3 seem to be hard pressed to keep up with our demand the past 4 weeks. Assured we're ordering in large batches to keep the waits down for the up coming buying season.

I also have another 14 that's been on order for a week now. So it might be another two weeks? I was told a couple of weeks. I was looking forward to getting it next week. Sounds like business is good!

Thank all of you guys for your orders! Like Vic said in a few posts above, we were sitting with stock on the shelves all but a few weeks ago. Supply and demand fluctuates our lead times, but we always try to keep it manageable.

If I would have known it was going to be more than 2 weeks, I would have bought the milspec version. I assume that one was ready to go?

When I ordered mine a couple months ago, itt shipped it to them, then they shipped it to me. It took about a week. So another week for tnvc-pvs isn't to bad. |

i just couldnt decide between the two. obviously one is cheaper, but I didnt want to skimp on this expensive of a purchase. but, you guys have the most and best reviews, reputation on the net, so I am good with the shop built one over the factory model. I just hate to wait. i really hate waiting. Plus, you went and had to quickly ship all the other stuff. now I have a helmet and dbal, but sadly nothing to play with them with....

Vic has a great bunch of guys building his 14's. I have met some of them and they do a wonderful job. It will be well worth the wait. It takes a little time to build one to milspec standards. I can slap one together in 15 minutes but to do it right takes a good hour per unit. Well worth the wait. Congratulations ! The hardest part believe it or not is just getting it dust free. No matter how hard you try to maintain a "clean room" dust is always the enemy. The shop built units are put together by some good guys ! |

Thank you for the kind words. We actually had it down to no wait units on the shelf a few months back. The terrible 2's was the Obama months of February and March that cleaned most firearms industries shelf which caused the 6-8 week back orders on our TNV-14's. We take as much tube stock as we can from both ITT and L3 and that is what most of the waits stem from at times. PLUS, we do not accept nor have any low spec B grade tubes that our delivered to us, so that also has an impact on volume we get.

I ordered my TNVC PVS14 this month and was told it'd be a couple weeks, but got a shipment notice after only a couple days.
Mine was probably a fluke, but these things can happen. Either way, it's nothing like the wait for a suppressor. Piece of cake! |

I had a chance last weekend at the Zombie prepper shoot to compare my factory ITT NEPVS14-17 to the TNV-14 L3 unit. Although my unit was a hand select and has smoking specs, the TNVC build was every bit as clear, blemish free, and bright. If I was doing it over again today, I'd have no concern going with their PVS14.
Considering getting a Sentinel for xmas.

I just found out it will be couple more weeks wait through tnvc, so I ordered another in stock tnv pvs14 for another vendor with next day air. Should have it tomarrow by noon! I feel your pain. It was hard for me to pass up a in stock tnv-14 with a 31 s/n and .6 halo!! Now the wait for the other should be easier to handle. |

They have a 72 res in stock ready to ship, but the other specs aren't near what I have. I wasn't really in the market for another 14, since I have two, and one on order with tnvc. But after I heard those specs it got me really interested real fast. Also it's my cleanest blemish free tube, I'm super happy with this one |

Jamie kept me updated all the way. I was given real estimates, not the BS 2 weeks cookie cutter line most companies will give you. TNVC is doing it right. |

Tomorrow will be the 3 week mark for me. I think everytime i email and ask if they know a ship date i get bumped to the back of the list for being annoying.
I wish i had my pvs14 tonight, we were finishing combining our last field of corn and the coyotes were running through it and picking the pheasants off like crazy. Of course i didnt have my ar with me either.

I thought the same thing. Emailed Jaimie once so far. Probably won't see it until 2014 now. It'll probably ship when I go to work next week so I won't get to use it anyways. Ha! Timing, I'm bad at it. No complaints about tnvc though, happy I went with them and they shipped the rest of my order right away. Of course they didn't have to build it and install whatever elfen technology or black magic that makes night vision possible. Probably....casting a spell or something. A spell that requires a battery yes, but.....
