For Immediate Release Loma Linda, California, 21 May 2010 – Tactical Night Vision Company, Inc. (TNVC) is proud to announce the new TM14 PVS-14 Aimpoint Twist Mount Adapter. The TNVC TM14 is a lightweight, low profile mounting solution for the standard issue AN/PVS-14 Night Vision Monocular. It is designed to allow rapid attach and detach from the Aimpoint Twist Mount Base. The TM14 is the lightest and least obtrusive mount for the PVS-14. It clamps around the PVS-14 Objective Lens Locking Ring and has a low-profile footprint for interfacing with the Aimpoint Twist Mount base (sold separately). The footprint faces forward under the objective lens, allowing the operator to quickly and easily index the unit into place. Its low profile ring locks with a single machine screw located at the base, leaving an uninterrupted band around the objective lens housing. This feature keeps the TM-14 from interfering with the Gain Knob and IR Illuminator. The purpose of the TM14 is to provide an ultra-fast and secure method of transitioning a PVS-14 between a helmet and weapon mount. The placement of the adapter allows both the TM14 and J-Arm to stay on the optic at all times. This allows the PVS-14 to transition in seconds and requires the use of only one hand! Today’s modern battlefield is seeing bad guys with night vision too. More and more, the Warfighter and Law Enforcement Professional is needing to go passive with his or her NV because IR lasers broadcast their position from exceeding long ranges. The ability to transition from active to passive NV deployment is essential, allowing the good guys to stay a step ahead. Drawing from their own vast experience and implementing feedback from the front lines, TNVC designed the TM14 to be the most versatile, low profile, and practical mounting solution for the PVS-14. AVAILABLE NOW, EXCLUSIVELY FROM TNVC!!!

Fighting carbine of night vision-y justice! Sorry for the crappy iPhone pic. I'll take some better pictures later. So far (haven't tried it at night) it's awesome. Solid lockup by easy removal, easy installation on my PVS, doesn't block the IR illuminator. Great piece of kit!!!!! Oh, and it didn't go to Chicago first! (Sorry Vic, I had to) |

Anybody have one they haven't installed yet that could give me an ID of the ring when tightened down? I'm trying to see if this would allow me to mount a ContourHD cam to a picatinny rail since no one makes an adapter. I'm looking to mount the base to a helmet or rifle rail and use the TM14 on the camera. Fwiw camera objective mikes at just over 34mm. OD of a PVS-14 where the TM14 attaches would work too. I just don't have either available to me right now.

I'm a complete idiot TNVC. I would like this setup, but I have no idea what to order.
I have an Aimpoint CompM2 with a 1/3 lower cowitness mount. What do I need to order to have this capability? I have the helmet mount/jarm setup now, but I'd like to have passive capability in just a few seconds as well. I see the Aimpoint mount itself is sold seaparetly?? |

You would order the Aimpoint Twist base and the TM-14 here. http://www.tnvc.com/shop/tnvc-tm14-pvs-14-weapon-mount/ for $184.00. There is a pull down menu to select both to your cart. Hope this helps and thank you.

Vic, you are good people man. Thanks for answering all my questions earlier today.
Its driving me nuts I still have 2 months before I get home and can use the TM14, but at least the T1 will get put to use out here. Guess ill just have to drool over the pics in threads like these until then. |

Thanks vic.
Looking at the specs it shows the PVS-14 ring is 26mm and the D300 is 25mm. I can fabricate a shim or squeeze plate for the ring if the OD is the only issue? I'm looking to use the D300 as a monocular 99% of the time but have the ability to quickly mount it to the gun behind a T1 if needed. This mount looks like the only thing on the market that will fill that role, correct? Would the D300 line up as a PVS-14 if the ring was sized down 1mm or are there interference issues that the D300 body design causes that don't exist on the PVS-14? Any other mounts available for the D300 that will do what I'm wanting? I don't have a use for a head mount, at least I don't see myself having one. I just want to have a clean fast setup to go from day gun to night. |

If you fab a shim it would work, but the ring of the TM-14 would mount on the lens itself of the D-300 unlike the PVS-14 which the uses the actual lens locking ring of the 14. I would not recommend using the lens itself as an attach point because of strength (lack thereof) issues along with focusing issues of the body housing turning at recoil.
There is no other QD mount we know of for the D-300. |

Which height Aimpoint would this line up a PVS-14 with best, a lower 1/3rd or absolute cowitness?
I'm starting to get organized for my Mk18 build. Thanks.

Is that a Piston gun? With your IR Laser mounted like that, do you get problems with the venting of gas and carbon buildup on the laser?

It's an old LWRCI M6A2. Yeah, there's some gunk that gets on the bottom of the laser, but nothing that will not come off with a little scraping of a finger nail.

Which EOTech sights is this mount compatible with? Since you mentioned lower 1/3 for Aimpoint am I right in assuming it's the same for EOTech? E.g. would it line up correctly with the EXPS models but not the XPS and other absolute co-witness models?

Vic,
Thanks for the 14, mounts and all. I have been really happy with this setup. Chip and Jaimie really helped and were great. The reticle on the ACOG is working great with the 14. I was concerned about that. As far as POA/POI is concerned, at 25 yards CQB I don't have any issues. Don't intend to shoot long distance with this setup - mainly under 100 yrds.. Thoughts? |

Yep, 25 yards and under should be fine. Indeed longer ranges can spell some pretty big shifts we have seen over the years. Glad it's working out for you and thank you for the order. Vic |

What cantilever mounts will this height PVS-14 mount line up with?

I find I have to seperate my NV and RDS by around an inch. |

I have a question about this mount.
I notice that it has a bit of up/down play in it, is that normal? (I own a aimpoint magnifier and it has the same mount of play, I assume this is just aimpoints design ) is there a way to reduce the play? I find it slightly annoying, that after the shot, and releasing the trigger to take another shot, the trigger's reset is enough to cause the sight picture to move slightly. |

My thought is that I wouldnt use an ACOG for a "CQB" setup, but thats just me. For 100 yards, my EoTech's and T1's work fine for me, but my PVS14 is mounted to the rear of them. |

I'm debating whether I should get a basic kit or the weapon kit for a PVS14 I'll be ordering from you. Will this mount cowitness properly behind an EoTech 553 (SU-231/PEO)? I currently use a PRI M-69 mount which is great because it is height adjustable but I like the ability to leave the J-arm on with this mount.

To answer my own question should someone else care to have a twist mount for the D300, it does NOT fit without modifying. I used a 1" sandpaper flapper wheel and opened it up the extra .070" dia, but now it fits and works good!
Too bad TNVC doesn't offer this with a different ID for the D300 crowd. |

Is there anyway to get the slop out of the mount? It doesn't hurt anything with the sight picture, but it does rattle and I'd like to remove the slop if it's not supposed to be there. If it is, oh well.  |
