    Official (DTA) SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

    I'm wanting to get a 16" barrel threaded down to 5/8-24 but don't want to void my DTA warranty. Does anyone know who DTA recommends to have thread the barrels? I plan to call them Monday but just wondered if anyone knew off hand.

    Would an IR filter help protect the device?

    So can bright IR light(like from the Streamlight SuperTac) damage NODs? If so is there any kind of filter that I could use to protect it from damage?

    Got the Streamlight SuperTac IR in today. I tested it out briefly in the basement. I only looked through the NOD at the light for a few seconds and noticed a honeycomb/chicken wire start to appear and quickly shut it down. I took that to mean I shouldn't be using this thing it inclosed...

    I got dragged to the thrift store today by my lady and managed to score a really light weight, slim, and sturdy tripod today for $3. I put a good amount of pressure on it from multiple positions and with it extended and I think it will work good. It is very adjustable and looks a lot like the...

    Night Vision Budget helmet and mounting system

    Thanks for the info, I might try one of these. For now i dug out my bug net that covers my head/neck. Will just try to stay covered and hopefully that will work. I have never been attacked by bugs as bad as i was last night. There was a lot of standing water around so it makes since. Can't...

    Night Vision Budget helmet and mounting system

    I took my helmet setup out for the first time last night. It worked great with the IR laser. It's a world of difference compared to using the monocular behind the Eotech. It was a full mon and everything was very bright. Unfortunately I got swarmed by mosquitoes by the river I was at and...

    What connection point do you use for attaching the rifle to the tripod? A lot of good info in here gents, thanks a bunch.

    Night Vision Budget helmet and mounting system

    I've noticed that my helmet was a little front heavy. I started looking at counterweights and they seem to be pretty pricey for what they are. I cast lead handgun bullets and had a couple small ingots around. I stuck some heavy duty Velcro strips to it and bingo, counterweight. I would prefer to...

    I just ordered the Streamlight Super Tac IR from LA Police gear. I'm hoping it has enough wide flood to light up the immediate area around me. Got my helmet and Crimson Trace IR laser in and setup. Just fine tuning the helmet a bit. It will be nice to be able to rest the gun on my lap while...

    Now it isn't just a regular flashlight with just a filter over it is it? I have a Surefire 951 weapon light with an IR filter and it almost isn't even worth using... I think I'm about to pull the trigger on one of these streamlight supertacs

    Thanks a bunch for the reply German, you've been a big help. I got your RHINO mount and my J arm. I should get my Crimson Trace IR rail master and pro-tec helmet today. The only thing I need now is a illuminator. I'd like to get the TNVC, Dbal, or PEQ, but they are out of reach at the moment...

    Night Vision Hunting with NODs. Lessons learned, questions, and or advice. Share setups

    So I got out and did a little bit of calling last night with my new NV setup and realized I have a lot to learn. One is that I'm going to need a IR illuminator. It was pretty cloudy and dark last night and it was pretty tough to get very good visibility where I was calling. To top that off, the...

    Night Vision Budget helmet and mounting system

    Well thanks to you guys, especially TNVC and The German, I about have everything together for my helmet setup(except the helmet). I'm getting the helmet and Crimison Trace IR laser tomorrow and had a question. I notice there are bungee cords on the helmet. What part of the NOD/RHINO mount do you...

    Night Vision Budget helmet and mounting system

    I have a PASGT helmet already. Would it be worth setting that up? It has one hole with a screw in it in the front. Would I just need the RHINO mount and J-arm with that?

    Night Vision Budget helmet and mounting system

    I already have a USGI Kevlar helmet(PASGT I think). It has one screw hole in the front. What all would I need to get it mounted on that? Would it work okay or are they super uncomfortable? This is the kind I have: Kevlar Helmet Small | eBay

    Night Vision Budget helmet and mounting system

    Thanks Vic. The Tac OPS helmet I mentioned above was from your site. It was the Half Shell Helmet though and I think was about $10 more($117 with shroud). It just looked like it might be less cumbersome. I really like the OPS core helmet, might have to do some scrapping and see if I can get it...
