TM-EO From TNVC
Wednesday, January 30th, 2013
The TNVC TM-EO is a low-profile mount that adapts the EOTech 3X Magnifier to the Aimpoint Twist Mount Base, allowing operators to add magnification to their red dot optic. It attaches to the EOTech 3X Magnifier via two included bolts and places it at a “tall mount” height (lower 1/3 cowitness). The Aimpoint Twist Mount System is a highly versatile QD mount for affixing various optics to a weapon through its spring-loaded base that stays semi-permanently attached to the weapon’s receiver while the mount interface stays attached to the optic accessory. When the user requires the optic, he can quickly to add it to the gun, and remove it when not needed. This lowers the profile of the overall weapon platform while reducing weight. The TNVC TM-EO marries products from the two top red dot manufacturers in the market, providing a very versatile option to the operator.
Their TM-14 Twist Mount Adapter for the AN/PVS-14 night vision goggle has been a huge success. It allows two very useful optics to be swapped on the rifle: the Aimpoint 3X Magnifier and the AN/PVS-14 goggle. But, many users of EOTech products (a significant portion of the market) have not been able to embrace the TM14 because they would have to give up their magnifiers. But fear not, EOTech users; TNVC has you covered. Simply use the TNVC TM-EO and you can have the best of both worlds!
WASP CNVD – New from TNVC
Tuesday, January 29th, 2013
Designed as an intermediate-range night sight, the WASP CNVD is a new Picatinny Rail compatible, Clip-On Night Vision Device offered by TNVC, Inc. Offering clear night vision between 4X and 12X, the WASP CNVD produces relies on a 70mm Catadioptric Lens System that operates at an incredibly fast f/1.14 speed. According to TNVC, the image quality rivals that of most clip-on sights on the market at powers below 10X.
Clip-On Night Sights are preferred by most operators for their versatility, being able to attach to multiple weapon platforms while producing less bulk and weight in the field compared to having to carry a complete night vision-equipped rifle on top of the shooter’s primary. The WASP CNVD is factory aligned to hold 0.5 MOA or better. Repeatability is achieved through the use of a Larue Tactical LT105 Quick Detach Mount. The WASP CNVD is powered by a single CR123A Lithium Battery in an O-Ring sealed compartment making the device weather resistant to rain and snow.
The WASP CNVD is available in two image intensifier tube configurations. The ITT Gen3 PINNACLE Tube version is warranteed up to/including 7.62 NATO while the L-3 OMNI VIII MilSpec Contract Tube Version is warranteed up to/including .50 BMG. The WASP CNVD comes complete with a custom padded MOLLE pouch, Light Shield, Operator Manual, Quick Reference Card, Lens Cleaning Tissue, and Tube Data Sheet.
