Re: New PSV14 L3 commercial on the way
You have got to be shitting me. I actually have two of those ir filters.
This is just getting worse and worse for me the more I read. I cant believe how fast this thing burned the reticle into my tube. It was literally less than 2 min. The sock drawer trick faded it slightly but it makes me sick when I look at it now. I don't know about hijacking customers or whatever was mentioned earlier. I just dont want anyone to dick up their nv like I did mine.
I wish I could re do that night. I would have never ever mounted that thing behind the eotech. I had no reason to do it other than play around with my brand new NV eotech. Jesus I should have just got the XPS2 and turned it all the way up. Same results for me. Hell I dont even need the eotech anymore because I have the reticle right there in my PVS 14. Anyone want to buy a brand new eotech. Only used once in NV mode and maybe 2 min in visible mode???How bout a real sweet filmless 14 with a reticle??? Probably not right?
I cannot express enough how much this sucks.
I am such an utter dumb ass. I have a killer set of Anvis 9 with a wilcox AKHM III on an Ops Core helmet. I have a great IR laser/Illuminator. I have the PVS-14 with a wilcox J Arm and NO HELMET MOUNT and a protech Helmet with an Ops Core Shroud. I have a visible red OTAL Classic and various IR lights and stuff.
So What do I buy....Not a fucking helmet mount for my PVS-14 NOOOOOOO. I buy a god damn eotech XPS3 and then ruin my 3k NVD. Good job bob. Did I mention I had two of the aforementioned IR filters...Fuck me.
There is no way to fix your tube once you do this. Do not believe the hype. Mine spent a week eating batteries in a drawer and it did little to nothing.
This shit can happen really really fast and you will have lots of time to think about it afterwards believe me. I am the new spokesman for not running a PVS-14 behind an eotech. I would have been happier if the recoil of the weapon would have destroyed the tube. That was a risk I was fully prepared for. This current scenario was never even a thought in my mind. I am truly saddened by this thread. I would post a pic of the view through my 14 but it would likely send me spiraling into an alcohol induced coma.

Only reason I am mentioning it is to possibly save you from going through what I have recently gone through. I bought the xps3 eotech and had a freaking unbelievable L3 film less unit that I purchased from Frankie. He tried to tell me not to do it but I went weapons mounted anyway. My dumb ass even has an OTAL on the gun.
So I get it all mounted up in my Arms 29 and I'm playing with it around the house at night. A buddy comes over and I show the rifle to him and evidently after show an tell was over he thought the eotech reticle wasn't bright enough. He pushed the nv button and was playing with the thing for maybe 1.5-2 min.
When he handed it back to me I nearly shit my pants. Now my absolutely totally clean 72lpi film less tube has a nice blemish dead center in the form of my eotech reticle. I did the whole leave it on in the drawer bit feeding it batteries for almost a week. It is diminished but still very noticeable. Not too bueno.
I wish I never would have put that 14 on that gun. Should have spent the eotech money on a helmet mount and went that route. Now I have basically ruined probably the best performing L3 film less tube I will ever find. Well maybe not but its permanently weapons mounted now. Big mistake on my part Don't make the same one. </div></div>
Next time put a 30mm 720nm IR filer on your PVS-14 objective lens and you will never have that problem even with your Eotech set on high visible.....
