    Night Vision L3 LWTS vs M18 640

    Sometimes, I'm a bit reluctant to send a piece of expensive gear back & forth via common carriers; the stories I could tell. Is anyone else holding off on the software upgrade either because they are satisfied with their LWTS' current performance or are waiting to see if any potential glitches...

    Night Vision L3 LWTS vs M18 640

    Supply vs Demand, number of units purchased by a distributor, L-3's "dealer"/wholesale prices for the "precious" metal, multi-prong connectors, distributor/customer loyalty/multiple purchases of Thermal Weapon Sights/viewers & common accessories for a variety of other NVD related items will...

    Night Vision L3 LWTS vs M18 640

    Hello Vette447... I've been researching that issue for some time, now. If only someone in the know would divulge who the manufacturer/supplier of the polymer plastic & rubber components that are "outsourced" is, I would be willing to bet that there could be a few items collecting dust in...

    Night Vision L3 LWTS vs M18 640

    My apologies for being a bit off topic, but I have been getting WARNINGS from GOOGLE & an AV Program (McAfee) on my pc that indicate MALWARE when I attempt to link to this webpage from time to time. I was wondering if other members have been experiencing the same thing. It's apparently an...

    Night Vision L3 LWTS vs M18 640

    You are welcome, Vic... In my prior post # 113 (above), "Vic... Does your 4 AA battery cassette come as an "assembly": ITEM #11, TWB-014-A1 (Battery Pack) PLUS ITEM #12, TWB-605 (Protective Case)?" ...I tried to send you an "e-mail" via the software on this site regarding a couple of issues...

    L-3 WARRIOR SYSTEMS Engineering courtesy of Amanda Antonico provided the following communique regarding the software/firmware upgrade... Good afternoon, The quickest method of verifying which revision of code is on this system is to check the Status Sub-Menu, which displays the version of...

    Night Vision L3 LWTS vs M18 640

    When I ordered the RCO from Brenda Smith of L-3 WARRIOR SYSTEMS, she had advised me that ITEM #8 (the tan shroud pictured above) will continue to be available. I thought it a bit odd in that the Eyepiece Adapter Ring (required for attaching this hood to the LWTS) was no longer available. What a...

    Night Vision L3 LWTS vs M18 640

    Thanks, Vic... I managed to acquire ITEM #8 Interface Hood, NSN 5855-01-561-8116, PART # CQB-630-02. This TAN colored, rubber shroud requires the Eyepiece Interface Adapter Ring for attachment to the LWTS. It seems that I'm 1/2 way there, but in conversations with various associates at...

    Hello Vic... Do you have Eyepiece Adapter Ring, ITEM #10, SPN-020-A1 "IN-STOCK"? My L-3 LWTS has a manufacturer's date of February, 2014 & serial # 0066X. Were you able to determine a cut-off date or serial # range for the recent software/firmware upgrade? Thanks & have a great...

    Night Vision L3 LWTS vs M18 640

    TestnDoc... I'm a bit puzzled as to why L-3 passed the buck on to TNVC for the RCO bridge acquisition as L-3 had this item in stock at the time of my post. I may have just gotten lucky after my 4th attempt & somehow managed to snag someone with follow up skills. If I were to take a wild...

    Night Vision L3 LWTS vs M18 640

    Good morning, TestnDoc... I didn't ask about firmware updates when I placed my order, so I can't comment. It's unfortunate that the eyepiece adapter ring is no longer available. Apparently, there wasn't sufficient demand for some of the "out-sourced" items in the "complete kit" to warrant...

    INSURANCE "RIDERS" for FIREARMS...

    LearningAsIGo... My best guess would be that firearms with integral rather than detachable suppressors are covered. The only way to be sure would be to pose the question again in that context.

    USAA INSURANCE is geared to folks who have a military background if I'm not mistaken. Is that a correct assessment?

    SPi just so happens to have a nice waterproof DVR that would go well with that requisite cable. One thing leads to another. It's just never enough! Next on HOARDERS... speaking of which, I managed to finally snag a little stash of CCI MINI-MAG 40gr .22LR HV CPRN, my favorite rimfire ammo that...

    That's just outstanding & thanks for sharing! In these uncertain times, it's refreshing to know that there still is HOPE. I wanted to conduct a bit of research prior to "retiring" my current agent/agency. The BUDDA amp, Gibson Custom Shop Lesters, BC RICH BICH, Fender STRATs & TELEs ...as well...
