Night Vision Lead time

[Jim Hammer]

Anyone know what the current lead time is on L3 WP filmless 2376+ tubes?
I have an order in place for a set of binos with what I was told is a reputable company.
It's been twice as long as what I was originally promised for completion and delivery, but they haven't even received the tubes yet.

Doesn’t surprise me. I recently listened to a podcast where his NV was expected to take 6 months to receive.

This last year many folks have been kicked into home protection mode due to the civil unrest in some large cities and the demand for many products has skyrocketed. NV, guns, bullets etc. The company that makes freeze dried food for the Mormon Church is 9 months back ordered.
Glad I put a plan in effect for everything I or my family will ever need right after Sandy Hook back in 2012.
I have a small savings account where I add a tiny amount every month for future purchases so I don’t get caught with my pants down.....

L3 tubes seemed to take forever before TSHTF.... let alone now. Just be sure whoever you order from doesn't charge you till the order is ready to ship so your not out money ahead of time.

I was going to order a 14 L3 WP filmless Monday 20-24 weeks out. I will wait for now.

Yeah.
Today is 17 weeks.

Crazy that is like NFA wait times.

What's the difference between ordering now with a long lead time or waiting months to place your order when lead times have (possibly) shortened.

If you want it get the order in now and get in line.

Sounds a lot like the old suppressor excuses lol

Just saw that Big Tex started stocking NVGs. All the stuff listed is inventory in stock, no wait times.

What do people know about these guys, and specifically Night Ops Tactical who built it?

The folks at Big Tex are GTG...
Can't speak for N.O.T.

Its decent prices for thin filmed elbit units with the way prices are way inflated currently. Half a year ago it would've been par with everyone else.
