They are ARC rails however idk if the mandibles will fit since the square holes aren't as recessed as the Opscore ones.

I do switch units here and there so PVS with Wilcox J-Arm, TRex lanyard and two AA batteries in the lanyard battery holder adds 15.6 ounces. RNVG with NERD adds 21.6 ounces. Here's how they look with NODs. Should have my multicam wrap soon for the RNVG and I'm thinking multicam cover for the ballistic. Arid multicam on the PVS 14 b/cit was in stock and I thought I'd see how it looked. |

No one is gonna ask??
How in god's name did you attach the Ops-Core AMP Helmet Rail Mount to the Crye Precision Airframe? Is it fully functional?? Can you turn the arms? Or it's just door hinged? Thanks in advanced. Ps. Can't believe no one asked this question. You are the only picture of this combo on the internet. |

View Quote Realizing this is a "Helmet Thread" I just wanted to express my gratitude to those of you fellow Members who've taken the time to write both here and email me. That's a Brotherhood looking out for each other! So sorry to hear of the tough challenges you went thru floridahunter - but I'm glad you pushed off the X and came out on the other side ready to fight! I could easily circle up in a fetal position in the corner, but I've chosen to memorialize Russell in a more honorable way since his life was about me. Picked up ashes yesterday and cried my eyes out holding them in my hand. Few pics of the shrine with items family & friends sent. Figured I'd drop some of my new Team Wendy Carbon EXFIL Bump decked out too! Totally love the Wilcox G69 since it's a dedicated NV Lid, and even comes with a little wire Lanyard though I run a NERD as well. I'm not happy with the TW Bungees at all since the Peltor Quick Attach Mount fills up the hole where the bungees are supposed to Thread thru. I really don't need them. Word of caution to those looking to buy a TW Lid. I fell in between sizes and though they advise you go up to Size 2 it was too big in my opinion. Wish I had gone w Size 1 - but like almost everyone else here the 4D Pads fixed that right up for me! DTNVS w L3 Unfilmed WP courtesy of Nocturnality-Gear. Semper Fidelis guys!

View Quote As stated in emails, I'm genuinely appreciative brother! Day by day... In addition to the TW Bump I have 2 Ballistic Lids as well. One OP/Gentex and this Shellback Tactical, which I'm super impressed with as far as comfort goes. Right out of the box it comes with a great OCC/BOA Dial. I need to weigh each one of them complete with accessories. I really like the TW Counterweights and their retention cord in the back. Due to the wicked discount I got, I totally overbought too many TW accessories so anyone in need ping me. Attached File Attached File |
