TNVC – Releases PVS-14 Non-Powered Bridge Mount-Dovetail at NRAAM

Friday, April 26th, 2019

Indianapolis, IN – Hot on the heels of the release of the TNVC PVS-14-PBM-A, we’re proud to announce the release of the PVS-14 Non-Powered Bridge Mount-Dovetail, or NPBM-D at the NRA Annual Meeting 2019 at the Indianapolis Convention Center in Booth 7464.

The NPBM-D was a response to requests for a lower cost and lighter weight version of the PBM-A, deleting the centralized power supply, but retaining the stirrup and fastener attachment of the PBM-A that allows the best possible lockup and alignment of dual PVS-14s into a retrofit binocular configuration. Again, while bridging two PVS-14s is not the most ideal configuration for binocular night vision devices (BNVDs), the PBM-A and NPBM-D are responsive to military and law enforcement organizations that already have large numbers of PVS-14s in inventory, as well as civilian enthusiasts that already have PVS-14 units, and do not want to purchase a new device or perform costly conversions to their existing devices, or may want to retain the ability to have two totally independent devices.

The NPBM-D is the lightest dovetail mounting PVS-14 bridge currently on the market, weighing in at 2.93 ounces and is constructed from Delrin polymer and 6061 T6 anodized aluminum, and will retail for $315, making it one of the most affordable PVS-14 bridges on the market.

TNVC will have an extremely limited number of units available for sale on the floor at NRAAM 2019, and will be accepting pre-orders for $305 during NRAAM.

TNVC will also have a number of other Show Specials during NRAAM for show attendees available including:

Night Goggles NG/PVS-14 Photonis 4G ECHO for $2,500

10% off FLIR PTQ-136 Breach and PTS-233 Thermosights

TNV/PVS-14-PBM-A for $765 (available on website)

Come stop by our booth, 7464 for all of your night vision, thermal, and accessory needs!
