5.15Mounting on a rifle

The unit can be mounted on a rifle with Picatinny mount adapter (MIL-STD-1913). The optical axle of the goggles coincides with the rifle’s Picatinny rail.

FIGURE 7. NVS Unit with Picatinny adapter.

Two types of weapon mount adapters are available – Fig.7 and Fig. 8. Either adapter enables mounting the unit to the Picatinny rail. The type shown on Fig. 7 has two screws with large grooved heads for convenient tightening.

Note: Over tightening the screws may damage the thread.

The ‘Quick Release’ model (Fig. 8) utilizes a latch with a spring and patented accu-torque screw. You can attach and detach your goggles within a few seconds. The accu-torque screw fixes the mount with predefined torque thus protecting the thread from accidental damage caused by over tightening.
