Night Vision Newcom LAM 3G IR

[stefan73]

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with any of the Newcom stuff? Specifically the Newcom LAM 3G.

LAM 3G – Newcon Optik

Something about Newcon always seems sketchy.

I have one, havn't used with night vision yet(still saving). They arn't exacly like on the pictures the elevation and windage turrets for the illuminator and lasers stick up alot higher than in the pics they show.

 

[stefan73]

If you were close I'd say bring it out and we can test, zero and run it.

 

[Boon20]

Sad to say im north of the boarder. The reason i have the newcon is because all the good/cool stuff is a USA only club.

[stefan73]

[Boon20]

Let me know if there is something specific you want to see

Proprietary tape switch plug or universal crane style laser plug? These look a like a cross between a DBAL A2/A2, Perst, and Holosun

Frank has always had good things to say about their LRFSs.

Awesome, thanks for taking the time to take those. This looks like an interesting avenue.

That’s definitely proprietary. Here’s the “standard” laser plug.

See if you can get the russian PERST units. Very excellent.

Can confirm you can get them shipped to Canuckistan, hell Ivan even has a storefrnt on Amazon.ca! Have a 4 and am trying to convince myself to pick up a 3 and ditch the 4.

I see the Gen 3 Perst 4 has dropped too.

How does it perform? How does the illuminator look? Is it smooth or spotty? Durability? Maintain zero?

Just a few small things

The illuminator to me isnt bad, there is what looks like a water drop on the top left. It has what i can only describe as a very light mesh look to it, i only see it when im looking for it or its really dark out. On low i find the illuminator hard to use past 50 yards so i switch to high for most things i need to aim or look at.

I cant say on durability yet. I try not to destroy everything right off the bat. For the record i probably will reck it eventualy.

The laser has wandered inside a few mags (mags are 5 round cap because canada). Im not shure if it's because the windage/elevation knobs got bumped or if its the lam it's self. I never put a witness mark on them so i rezeroed today and am going to check tonight and over the next week. The wind/elevation knobs move really easy and if there is a big move on the knob the first shot will bounce the laser around. Think zeroing an 80's cheap bushnell hunting scope kind of thing.

The laser its self is good. On low it can easily reach out to 300 yards and high does what you would expect more power and bloom on target. I havent tried lazing anything at 1000 or more yet because i didn't see the point.

So my plan tonight is to make sure the knobs are marked and zeroed then see if riding in my truck for a week will shift it or not and check again next weekend. Then if it still doesn't work i get to try newcons customer service.

Hope this helps

 

[stefan73]

It does, thank you.

 

[Boon20]

I checked last night i had roughly an 8" group not where i zeroed at 50 yards so this things going back to get fixed.

 

[stefan73]

That sucks to hear. Hopefully they get it fixed. I like to have good options.

 

[Boon20]

I fucked up big some where when i zeroed it the first time. Still trying to figure out what i did wrong.

I acually got it zeroed now and have been checking it regularly. Still holding zero on the laser even after all the banging around. The illuminator moved a little but i think thats from accidental hits to my leg when slung.
