Correct sir

@@jcarter855 Awesome. Thanks!

It is apparently done at the factory I haven't seen any that don't have the broken internal plastic keeper

Its crazy how things change so quickly, I hate they sold out...

I have to agree with you there sir.

I have just carefully bent the bracket arms to fit properly in a pinch. Just be easy on them the less bending the better or the aluminum will crystallize.

@@jcarter855 im gonna try bending my mich bracket tonight to fit it to my pasgt I like the mich shroud only because it's more clean look

Is the ratchet strap actually necessary or no?

@@m.7n6 no, it's more for non nvg drilled helmets. But it does add more stability vs the single screw.

Yes sir, I kept one brand-spanking-new in the Box I'll think about selling it but damn I hate to.

@@jcarter855 Awesome, you can't find those anymore anywhere, if you think on selling it let me know!

@@sergepozdnyakov6687 Copy that sir

Hey, you still considering on selling your kukri? I am still looking for one.

I was always afraid I would make things worse but That's what I'll try next time. That or ss polish in paste form.

As long as you have the dovetail interface then yes you should be GTG with a wilcox dovetail j arm or norotos dual dovetail adapter. Their is a new dovetail mount out for the pvs14 from unity tactical if I recall correctly, a bit cheaper & just as good as the 2 mentioned above.

@@jcarter855 awesome, thank you!

It's from noisefighters not unity, (the ax14) worth looking into.

So many years ago now, but if I recall correctly it would have been on 15.com's night vision section sir. Honestly for around $15 you should be able to easily find an ach bracket in the bay & save yourself some grief. Let me know if you need any other assistance I still enjoy the night.

I'm not completely sure what you are asking sir but yes this is an NVG mounting bracket for the pvs-7, 14 etc with the proper arm such as a USGI Rhino 1 or 2. Let me know if that was the question or if I totally missed your meaning.

Thanks man!! I still wish I had done better for you guys back then. Maybe one day soon I'll be able to take my time & put out some higher quality vids.

I still enjoy carrying the Rajah II. Need to replace my Spartan, sold the original to fund something else...

This one is still kicking, for the money it really surprised me. Hope you're doing well man!!!

Can't get those now ,at.least not from Cold Steel , I have a O1 Tool Steel model and man it's a blade you gotta respect 😎

Basically they are both the same, if you strip away the extra aesthetic upgrades of the Emperor katana. Neither is double edged. I'd personally say the Warrior is the better bargain for general use.

Commonest Russia would never have let you have that opinion.

@@jcarter855 по русски скажи, чо хотел?

You won't regret the gurkha kukri in any of its different blade material's (carbon v, sk5, o1, san mai ect). From what I've seen latly they have the new version in cpm 3v now also. It's just hard to find any of them at the moment but things will pick back up I hope. I appreciate your comment sir & good luck in your search!!!

It sounds like you could get away with a small sized ciras. They can accommodate medium plates & have quite a bit of adjustment regarding body size. You may have to make the cuts in the front plate pocket but it does work well.

@@jcarter855 I went with the size medium and it fit perfect. The plates fit perfect as well.. 👍

@@sylviobravo6727 I'm glad the medium worked out for you Sir, Stay Safe out there!!

They were nice, I went to s2v's as my go too now.

That worked for me, but ots been years ago. I think the charging port cable was a bit loose as I recall. It's worth a shot at the least.

@@jcarter855 I did it and looks like it worked! After I booted my tablet, I had 77% battery remaining. I set a 15 minute timer on another device and when it ran out, I checked and it was at 87%. Thanks for making this video!

@@uzairmohammed5134 Awesome 😊

I don't see why not, never had any experience with a cvc except about 10 years ago. You would have to drill for your mount, or you could go the ratchet strap road.

josh carter I will go with a more permanent mount so yeah I will drill a hole. Thanks for the reply 👍

@@tacticalpickle7 Its fairly straightforward, plenty of threads on it out there by now. If you need any help/advice or pointing in the right direction I'll be happy to offer any assistance I can.

josh carter awesome thank you 👍

I've had several opportunities to buy one on the cheap (around $40) & passed each time. Not because they are not top notch kit - I just already have a couple Raptor Tactical Sentinels with TATM & Universal shrouds plus an Ops-Core carbon & Team wendy carbon Bump among others. Maybe one day I'll finally pull the trigger on one just to see if it's any better or worse than my current setups.

@josh carter Are the Raptor Tactical Sentinels comfortable? I am interested in the Nightcap as I don't have to carry my helmet around if I need to use my PVS-14. Just waiting for my Norotos dual dovetail adapter and Wilcox LG-24 mount. Stay safe and thank you for your response. Edited as I thought they were created by Wilcox. :(

@@Captainelduke Wilcox has their own version of a skull crusher (I think the 4 iteration is most current) but it's pretty much Not my 6th or even 10th choice. The Raptor tactical 1st gen sentinels are what I currently have & can sometimes be found at a decent price. They have a gen II now.. Pretty comfortable & provide some bump protection. The Nitecap gets rave reviews, packs down fairly small & is versatile so I cant bash it, but like I said I've never tried it myself. I love the Dual Dovetail THA especially with an AKA2 w/ Dovetail Socket personally. I've had 2 or 3 G24 mounts & passed them all on to someone else. They seem to be more useful with BNVD's & other dual tube setups - not so much the pvs 14 unless you get the newest wilcox Dovetail J-Arm thats offset back to relieve the distance from your eye to the 14's ocular. The Norotos INVG is nice too but yet again I ended up selling it off & going back to the AKA2. Wall of text over :)

I'd say a medium carrier, or a Size SMALL Eagle CIRAS always works (It can hold Medium plates). It also makes a Great plate carrier for larger guys IMO. There are a LOT of carriers out there these days, on the new & used market. Do you have any specific role for it? That makes a big difference in selection & some carriers are just not that good...

Thank you for your response Josh. I plan to use the plate carrier for firearms training and defense in uncertain times.

@@Captainelduke No Problem at all Sir. My general rule is if you wear a large t-Shirt go with a large Plate carrier & so on sizng wise. It's not perfect, with the right carrier I can wear from small to large with little issue (an ex. would be the Crye AVS). Others are really just hit & miss in the comfort & fitment area. Being that you have 10x12" plates a medium is most likely the PC size you'll want. What carriers were you looking at?

@@jcarter855 I am looking at the Eagle Industries Multi-Mission Armor Carrier or Crye Precision JPC 2.0.

@@Captainelduke Both Excellent choices. If I personally had to pick for long term comfort & long lasting quality w/o resupply (spare parts or replacement) I'd go with the MMAC but that's purely subjective. Either way you'd be well covered. Hope that helped some & Stay Safe out there!!

Good morning, That's a tough one. I don't know of anyone who offers that option aftermarket at a decent price. Most won't touch a job like that because of the potential weakening of the armid matrix & all the troubles that could drop up later in real-world use. Warning, Wall of text coming up. It can be done at home. If I were to do it myself on my own bucket I'd get a couple different Very Sharp drill bits sized to the type of mounting hardware I decided to go with. I prefer the warcom 3 hole pattern. The screws are ultra slim so adding the holes becomes a bit easier. Get your shroud or bracket ect in position on the helmet & mark your reference points. When drilling make sure to keep the correct angle so the screw or screws don't go in & bind. If the drill bit doesn't cut it'll snag a strand of armid & make a complete mess. It's a lot to take in but just think every step out & don't rush the work. Revision makes an adapter that uses the front two chin strap bolts to hold the nvg bracket mount in place but I'm not sure where you're located, that might be an option too. I hope that is some help to you. Let me know if I can do anything else or try & answer any other questions.

Good morning!! Glad someone got some use out of a video & I really appreciate the kind words. I'll try to get some more vids up soon - I kinda miss getting any useful info I have out there.. I've got more interesting kit than ever now. I picked up one of their APC's (Mayfloyer) & for the low price it does rivel most all Plate Carriers in its class. I've yet to get my hands on a chest rig from them but I'd also be willing to bet its nonsense kit too. Hopefully the new virus in town becomes old news fast & we move on to the next apocipilict senario :D Stay Safe out there!!

10x12 should fit but normal 10x12 single curve are a pain to get into this particular carrier so you might really want to look at other options.

@@jcarter855 by normal do you mean SAPI or shooters cut? I have some hesco 4401s that I want to put in this and they're single curve shooters cut

@@tomboysupremacist Sapi cut sir

@@jcarter855 oh ok. Shooters cut is slightly thinner in the X axis so I shouldn't have any problems with the medium then. How adjustable is it?

@@tomboysupremacist You could probably make shooters cut work but I can't guarantee it. The Carrier is fairly adjustable

ANVIS mounts should work in that situation.

@@jcarter855 thanks buddy👍☺️

I agree, they made one heck of a knife with this series.

Just the ratchet strap? You can find them on eBay relatively cheap. Just search "ratchet strap nvg" Hope that helps

Thank you sir :)

@@jcarter855 Man you got good taste for real in blades For folder and Kukris or Bowies and Swords you be buying the best ever in the budget 151 Mtech it one of their very best and most famous Fixed Blades. Take care soldier.

which sword is longer or are they the same?@@jcarter855

I had one recently (an M620V) that had problems. New out of the box with fresh surefire batteries, hit the clicky tailcap, the white light came on - started strobing - then died down to 1/3 the output from then on. I examined the white LED Diode & found a black spot in the center of it. I called Surefire & they sent me an RMA for return & examination of the product. A couple months later they sent my light back with a KM2b head (I'll have to double check on the exact nomenclature) but after that all has been well. Hope this helps some, if not what's the issue you're experiencing, sir?

@@jcarter855 hello, yes the m620v light stays on a very low beam? I've installed new batterys it does everything it supposed to except it stays on a low low beam, I'm guessing I can't replace the bulb I'm thinking I might have to purchase a new head?

@@sidneymeyer3436 That sounds like the white LED got damaged from over voltage. If you give Surefire a call they will have you send the light in & if its the problem they had with the KM2 heads like mine (it definitely sounds so in this case) they will replace it for free. If you buy a new KM2 head yourself your looking at around $200 retail if you can find one. I recommend you call up Surefire.

@@jcarter855 thanks, I'll be giving surefire a call it looks like!

Wilcox makes their own Proprietary versions that usually break away in most cases and also versions that allow the use of a standard norotos mount back plate. It should give you a picture of the helmet and if you see the standard rectangular backplate fitment you should be good to go, sir. I hope that makes some kind of sense, if you need any more help just let me know.

I double checked to be sure, it should accommodate any standard nvg mount that incorporates the standard norotos rectangular interface (aka2, standard rhino & rhino ect).

josh carter I appreciate it buddy. It looks like it’s molded into the helmet like a rectangle so I thought that it may fit but wasn’t sure. Do you think Wendy is as good as OPS Core?

@@derekddurbin I think so, I almost picked one up. I just feel guilty paying so much for a bucket. If it's what you want, go for it & I highly doubt you'll regret the purchase. If you're into saving money, you can find them on the 2nd hand market relatively cheap if you look around. Stay safe out there, sir.

josh carter I know what you mean but when you got a Honeybadger by Q and an Aimpoint you need night vision for coyotes and it can’t handle being weapons mounted so a bucket it is. Lol. But hey thanks for all of your help brother

That's a killer deal on a new Emperor Katana! I may have to grab a twin, myself.
