Were they ever manufactured?   Only ones I see are the aftermarket NVINC made  sac lenses.

Thanks!

I use regular sac lenses on my ANVIS(es). If you have LIF adapters on your ANVIS lenses, PVS-14 accessories are compatible

NVI sac lenses suck. They only thread in a quarter turn at most and with light pressure they fall out of half my objectives.

Plastic ring that is super glued or epoxied onto the end of the monocular assembly.  Same threads as the PVS-14 LIF.
Also required to get the correct diameter to mount the AN/AVS-7 HUD.

USAF started adding them during Gulf II.  Every USN/USMC goggle I ever saw had them installed by ITT at the factory.

Handy pic "borrowed" from NVD showing the rings glued to the end of each monocular:

ahh thank you

My google searches are not turning up any further info let alone any sources,  can I presume these are pretty rare?

Any idea on a part number?  thanks

All army anvis goggles ive seen have them and run LIFs.

They are the right diameter for a pvs14 compass as well

Don't some ANVIS OBJ's have internal threads?  if so what are they for?

I'll take a pic of my OBJs

They have internal threads that I cannot get a LIF to thread on to,   the compass fits snug.  the PVS 7/14 slip on sac windows fit perfect.  

Maybe my LIF threads are chingered up,  it fits OK on a set of 7's but I don't crank it down to the gasket,  just finger snug it.

Early ones did not. (the really early ones with the 15mm eyepiece lenses didn't)

All the new ones do.  Should be standard from (V)3 onward, possibly (V)1.
