Morning all,
Was wondering if anybody can assist me in a search as I feel like I've hit a wall at the moment.
Basically I'm after a torch that can go onto an NVG mount on the front of the helmet or some form of adapter that will allow me to mount a torch on the NVG mount.
Bellow is an image of the Mich helmet that I'm running for reference.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Trash Panda.
You've hit a wall because the kit your looking for doesn't exist, yes you could try to amalgamate an nvg mount to a head torch, but it's likely no one has done it previously because it's reliant on potentially wrecking 2 good bits of kit to make 1 mediocre piece of kit that can only ever be used in that particular set up.
There's plenty of options for helmet mounted lights, low or high output, coloured light or ir output, rail mount or helmet clip.
In order to give you the best advice we need more information, what your trying to achieve in its use, power output etc.
To answer your question as to why it is for when I run my LMG as a torch can't be mounted onto it I would need the light to see when going from point to point in dark buildings and tunnels etc.
My post went up as your post did, but for starters the two won't work well together, too much misalignment, even if we're trying to aim down sights.
Then there's the issue of constantly reaching up to the head torch to turn on/off or adjust setting as most brands have to be "cycled" through the various outputs.
There are some taclites with better options, such as high output main beam coupled with very low output leds for moving around without giving away your position, such as a Rico tac9.
You say there is no option for mounting taclites on your lmg, not so, there's got to be a possibility to mount a rail somewhere, failing that Jerry rigging something on ?, what model lmg is it ?
