Night Vision Wasted “accessories”

[Tuhlmann]

Is it possible to purchase a PVS-14 at a discount by excluding all of the “accessories” like the bayonet mount, junk soft case, tissues, etc. that’s in every kit?

Depends who you're buying it from. The answer should be yes. If it's not, go somewhere else.

My 14 didnt come with anything other than demist shields and cleaning cloth. Which was fine by me.

My 14s didn't come with ANYTHING except a 14 and the box they arrived in and they're still workin fine after 5 years. But two is not enough ... workin on getting a third one !

Here and on ARF EE.

If yours didn’t come with a bunch of extra useless gear and you don’t mention where you sourced them it doesn’t provide much of an answer.

And private sales on EE aren’t much help, either. Interested in reputable dealers that sell NEW devices and after care, too.

If bare units aren’t available, fine. Just curious as to why it’s not a selling option given the world of application-specific accessory options out there. Plus, NOBODY seems to use the skullcrusher, j-arm, or other items that needlessly add cost without adding value.

If I’m the only one, I’ll just shutup tho.

Then the answer is pretty much no. Mainly because the extra accessories are basically free and dont have much value.

If you price them out individually, they are far from “free”.

Right, but outside of a sac and demist lense, no one actually buys them.

There's $250 RHINO mounts for sale on those sites as well. Doesn't mean they're $250.
