Night Vision KVC bridge + OSS + COTI issues

[Hoyter87]

Hello,
I'm new to this forum so hopefully I am posting in the correct place. I ran a search for this question and did not find any answers.

Is anyone running a KVC bridge with the OSS to mount their PVS14? Do you also have a COTI?

How do you get the COTI to mount to the PVS14 without clamping it onto the focus ring? The issue is the OSS clamp takes us the space around the focus ring that the COTI normally occupies.

My thoughts were going to grinder and welding or maybe a less serious epoxy mounting option but both would involve customizing the COTI clamp and quick clip on. Which I'd rather avoid if possible.

Any ideas? Very much appreciate any help. Hoping I'm ignorant to some sort of mount or familiarity to the KVC that allows for me to change this.

I figured it out, mods can delete this. I've been trying to but am not very forum literate.

For anyone interested in the solution it's that I'm a dumbass and didn't realize the OSS comes with an offset wedge that threads into the PVS14 like standard

That's only for your left eye though. If you want the coti on your right eye you'll likely have to clamp onto the focus ring.

Edit: or use an aftermarket 14 housing that gives you two mounting points.

How does that work when you want to adjust the focus? No issues or ?

Another fix is to run Mod Armory Bridges. They don't have any issue with stuff around the close focus ring like other mounts do.

All Mod Armory's Bridges work perfectly with attaching a COTI properly as it is intended.

I place it strategically so that the range of focus I need isn't inhibited, and it actually kinda functioned as a throw lever and a stop
