    INSURANCE "RIDERS" for FIREARMS...

    I posted this question on a friend's FAILBOOK Page & he suggested that I go to subguns.com's website & try the Archive Search Function. I had a moment of nostalgia as I reflected on the plethora of posts I have made there & various other sites on the net. I was trying to remember the exact names...

    INSURANCE "RIDERS" for FIREARMS...

    I'm sure that many shooter/collectors have pondered what the best options for "insuring" their firearms are in today's ever changing market & political climate. A safe(s)/vault secured to a concrete slab, a monitored alarm system, steel doors with extended dead bolts/beefed up striker...

    Night Vision L3 LWTS vs M18 640

    Sounds like a PLAN!

    Night Vision L3 LWTS vs M18 640

    It is my understanding that optics bridges/shrouds are constrained for the most part with regard to civilian consumption while .mil gets the "full kit" as illustrated in the Operator's Manual. While one might assume, judging from several distributor's website photos & descriptions of the L-3...

    Night Vision L3 LWTS vs M18 640

    My least favorite L-3 LWTS clip-on combination involves the AIMPOINT PRO Dot Sight. Talk about tunnel vision! On the other hand, the ELCAN SPECTER D/R totally blows the PRO away on 1x. The bigger the eyepiece of the conventional optic, the better, as long as you have the desired FOV. When you...

    Night Vision L3 LWTS vs M18 640

    TestnDoc... I just watched a program on the SCI/SCIENCE Channel called: "How Do They Do It?" ...Frankfurters, Sniper Rifles & Casino Security. One of the segments dealt with KAC/KMC & behind the scenes activity in the creation of their superb line of sniper rifles. Check it out if you get a...

    Night Vision L3 LWTS vs M18 640

    ThermalSpy... Both mechanical & digital sight-in have their merits & I'm comfortable with either system. However, external knobs are a bit more intuitive for some of us old school shooters who might be more comfortable with the status-quo of conventional optics. Digital technologies on more...

    Night Vision L3 LWTS vs M18 640

    TestnDoc... That's some AWESOME gun prOn! KAC/KMC craft some pretty nice sticks. I purchased an SR-25K (62/100) that belonged to Trey several years ago. It's nice that the shell deflectors are now monolithic with the upper receivers as mine had the separate, rail-mounted deflector that limited...

    Night Vision L3 LWTS vs M18 640

    I LOVE the RAPTOR! The 16 L(. (. )KS pretty sweet with the L-3 LWTS installed as a stand-alone. I'll post some photos of that combo & others when I get a new camera. Sorry to get slightly off topic.

    Night Vision L3 LWTS vs M18 640

    Hopefully, this photo of my COLT M16A1 carbine with the VIPER mounted will post. I replaced that NVD with the NVS/nvec RAPTOR I mentioned earlier in this thread.

    Night Vision L3 LWTS vs M18 640

    ThermalSpy... I see that you're using an ELCAN twin knob mount for Windage & Elevation adjustments + interfaces for the M18. Some of the ELCAN knobs are made of plastic & other units are Aluminum. When Tim La France was with NAIT prior to working for SUREFIRE, he built a 3x VIPER 3rd gen weapon...

    Night Vision L3 LWTS vs M18 640

    There's about a 1/3" mismatch in the LWTS optical axis in clip-on mode with the 6x ACOG mounted to my REPR. I was concerned that parallax issues (POA/POI) would manifest along with pixelation but that seems to be a non-issue at 100m. I need access to a range other than the 100m at Lake City...

    Night Vision L3 LWTS vs M18 640

    I recently purchased an L-3 LWTS & am currently familiarizing myself with the controls & experimenting with various weapon platforms: a COLT M16A1 carbine (stand-alone as the flattop M4 upper receiver rail is too short for clip-on), LWRCI REPR (clip-on/Trijicon MGO 6x ACOG), LWRCI M6IC...
