Night Vision Cheap IR laser for night vision.

Looks like some of the cheap china green lasers off ebay put out infrared also. Put a cheap slip on infrared filter over the laser and it works perfectly. Cannot be seen at all except with nvg's

Real easy to use the green laser and click adjustments to match the crosshairs. Then slip the infrared filter on to use at night.

Hope this saves someone else money like it did me. Those IR lasers are expensive!

Interesting but how well has this held up to recoil? How many rounds have you had through the setup/what kind of shooting? Could be a very nice solution for a budget hunting build.

Have not put any rounds through it yet. But it should be easy to check and re-zero quickly with the external click adjustable laser.

I've been looking for a cheaper option but it seems like you can get something fairly decent for around 200$

Crimson trace has the laser max IR but haven't seen to much about it

Ive been searching around for an IR unit too, does anyone have any recommndation? Most of the military units are very expensive.

There was a thread here or on AR-15.com about this

Several guys had tested them and it seemed that all had good results. I picked one up just a couple weeks ago from the above store and I think I paid $175. Haven't had a chance to try it out yet. The Chinese things won't last. Ask me how I know.

LASERMAX makes an IR model.

LaserMax Class I IR UniMax Laser Designator Picatinny Rail Mounted LMS-UNI-IR
sells for around $180 on ebay.

Their red and green LASERs have been very popular and I've had one on an AR carbine for a couple years (yeah, ATAS house carbine). It works just fine.
