You can definitely mount it without having to use their offset 1913 mount. It won't be as clean, but the tape switch comes with both adhesive hook & loop and two little zip ties to facilitate this. You can see a picture of the tape switch without the backing plate and offset 1913 mount here...

I'm not 100% certain, but I would assume you could program the switch that way (I am still waiting for my pre-order RAID Xe to ship). Button 1 on the triple button dual lead is always going to control the light (no disabling of that functionality is my understanding), and I would assume that you...

Why would the proprietary switch be an issue if you can fit a TAPS Sync? My triple button dual lead Xe tapeswitch is shorter in both length and height than my TAPS Sync. The RAID-Xe also has vis override available.

LIFs do filter out IR. In fact, that's what they're designed to do. The key thing to remember is that IR is a broad spectrum: 700nm to 1,000,000nm. LIFs were designed specifically to filter out 1064nm Nd:YAG lasers that were commonly used in various targeting systems by both NATO and ComBloc...

At least for me, the black ones have a discount, but the tan ones do not. Not sure if that's intended.

My AMPs were also quite uncomfortable, sitting too tight and bringing noticeable pressure in about a half hour, until I stretched out the headband. After that, I have all-day comfort in them, comparable, if not better, than my old MSA/Sordin Supreme X's with gel cups.

For those that missed out on the C35, but just need a sight rather than a clip-on, the S35 is also available for 2k USD as blems: https://store.steiner-optics.com/products/nighthunter-s35?variant=42738370052340

Just noticed that Steiner has blemmed C35s available for 2k USD directly through them: https://store.steiner-optics.com/products/nighthunter-c35?variant=43199627788532

Everyone I've talked to has stated that the newest generation of FAST helmets are far more comfortable than the old ones. Running RNVGs, I found my FAST SF to be way more comfortable than my TW SAR Tactical, despite the SAR being far lighter. The weight issue I think is overrated; if anything...

The ring is what you use to mount to the objective of the NODs; the rail-like interface is how the COTI mounts on. Same deal with the eyepiece. Note the rails up top behind the injector, that is where the rail-like interface, uh, interfaces.

There now more information on the Xe now, looks like it's much more than just a class 1 rendition of the RAID-X: https://www.wilcoxind.com/product/product_combat_raid-xe.php Looks like MSRP has also gone up.

IME, my MultiCam-esque rattlecanning with Aervoe shows noticeable contrast and coloration while under IR, more so than my MultiCam fabric.

I could see water and dust egress issues being a big reason why the use of a USB battery pack doesn't make much sense, while an 18650 in a COTI would be a decent amount of additional bulk up front.

Whelp, this was a bust. The hammer is too wide to fit the hammer channel in my SR-25 CC's BCG.

Does the AR10 reliably set off harder military surplus/M80 clone primers? I've had a fair number of light strikes while using a Geissele SD-C on PP, Federal, and MEN M80 clones, along with a friend's reloads that uses S&B primers.
