Has anyone thought of making their own style of GPNVG with old pvs-5 tubes?
Maybe a custom bracket or using an airsoft style housing? Stupid idea, but I'm intrigued and kind of want to try it... |

There is no way. The ocular lens is a work of art, and the tooling to make it cost almost a quarter of a million dollars. They have been working on it for many, many years. Not to mention...it would be heavy as all get out if you tried to make your own. I know there is zero way for me to make the ocular lens. I'm not planning on making an exact copy |

Wu is watching I called him and told him about this thread. He said OP should hide his dogs... 
On a serious note I know a fella who makes his own lenses and is working on printing a scope like this. He does not want his project made public but from what I have seen it looks good. I am not into multiple tube goggles but to each his own...

Believe it or not, that's the going price. I'm going to see if I can fly out to him. No way I'd buy sight-unseen. Quoted:
