Sentinel Night Vision Goggles (2 Pair)
I have 2 sets of night vision goggles for sale. These are in my opinion, the best goggles on the market available to civilians (and probably Mil also). They have both been used very little.They probably have a total of 1-2hrs on the tubes. These are just like the ones described below, except mine have hand selected L3 filmless tubes in them. These are probably the best tubes on the market and very hard to get. Both pair are identical except one is black and one is FDE. These were basically back-up goggles and are basically still new except for handling marks from being transported. They do have some handling marks, but the glass is perfect. I should have everything they came with when new.
The TNV/Sentinel BNVS is a unique night vision system, adaptable to the needs of Warfighters, Law Enforcement Professionals, and Civilian Sportsmen alike. Designed in direct response to the ground deployment of ANVIS Aviation Goggles (and their subsequent breakage due to not being rugged enough for that environment), the TNV/Sentinel provides the operator with a ton of useful features not found in other systems. The Sentinel program was developed by Adams Industries as a way to provide ground forces with an up-armored version of their coveted ANVIS goggles. Special Operations Forces have long used ANVIS goggles on the ground because of the superior performance of the optics and tubes compared to conventional systems. But, aviation goggles were never designed to be deployed outside the protection of a cockpit and their more fragile nature has been a bane to SOF units. Enter the Sentinel.
The Sentinel program was initiated as a way to provide the features desired by SOF operators in a much more rugged package. It features an ultra-rugged machined composite housing, bolstered by aluminum front and rear plates on the bridge. Like the ANVIS systems, Sentinels utilize worm drive interpupillary adjustment (however, there is no creaking and rattling as found in the aviation goggles). On top of that, the Sentinel is submersible to 66′ which should put a smile on the face of anyone who has ever tried to use ANVIS goggles in the rain or snow.
Perhaps one of the most unique aspects of the Sentinel is the user-swappable mount interface. The Sentinel can be field-adapted to either standard dovetail mounts or ANVIS-Style ball detent mounts. When used in the standard dovetail configuration, the Sentinel is powered by a single on-board CR123 lithium battery. It will plug into all standard dovetail helmet mounts such as the Wilcox L4 G24 and the Norotos INVG. Switching interfaces is fast and simple; requiring the removal of four screws before replacing the dovetail with the ball detent. The ball detent adapter interfaces with standard ANVIS goggle mounts such as the popular Adams Industries Surface ANVIS Mount or the legacy USGI ANVIS mount. Power is supplied by a remote battery pack on the back of the helmet and allows for longer run times. Helmet mounts are sold separately.
Controls are similar to PVS-14 goggles with a simple twist on/off power knob that also activates the onboard infrared illuminators.
$7850.00 each (I paid $11k for each of them.)
FLIR M18 Thermal
i bought this thermal about a year ago. Is was a backup unit and it has seen limited use. i have only changed the batteries once in it. It has some light handling marks. Everything works perfect. This is the 640 detector not the 320 which is a cheaper lower performance model. This unit also has a visable red laser for tagging targets for your buddies wearing night vision.
Thermal Night Vision Devices allow operators to more easily detect people, animals, and any other heat-producing objects in the environment at night or during the day. Thermal technology sees heat, causing these objects to readily stand out against the environment backdrop. The high contrast image allows threats to quickly stand out from otherwise camouflaged positions, increasing operator safety.
The FLIR Recon M18 is a small, lightweight thermal monocular developed for professionals and designed to stand up to battlefield abuse. The M18 is manufactured completely by FLIRs Government Systems Division and is MILSPEC. However, it is available for sale to the commercial market and law enforcement. The M18 is slightly larger than an AN/PVS-14 and easily stores in a pocket or pouch. It features objective and diopter focus, providing the user with the clearest possible image. The M18 is a full-featured device and includes several built-in imaging modes, an optional visible or infrared (government only) laser, and video out capability. It is available in either NTSC or PAL video format.
The Recon M18 has easy to navigate controls with a rear-mounted, thumb-activated joystick that allows users to choose options from on-screen menus. The menus are clearly divided and easy to differentiate. The power switch is separate from the joystick controls and is in the form of a rotating switch that click into position. This helps to eliminate accidental activation that can occur with other devices that rely on pressing buttons to turn the unit on or off.
The Recon M18 features the standard white hot/black hot polarity modes. But, it also has the ability to show images in full color using several palette options.
Gray (Grayscale) Palette provides maximum contrast on targets against a uniform background using black and white shades.
Iron Palette provides a color scale that goes from dark red through yellow to white to represent increasing temperatures.
Rain (Rainbow) Palette uses all the colors of the rainbow from red through green, blue, and yellow to violet to represent increasing temperatures.
Ice (Fire & Ice) Palette displays blue for cold targets and red for hot targets.
The various palette modes allow operators to choose the best image for their particular task. This increases effectiveness in various environments such as urban, wooded, jungle, desert, and maritime. The M18 has the option for an on-board laser. The laser can be either visible or infrared (restricted to government sales). This option gives the operator the ability to better communicate with team members who are not equipped with the superior detection capability of a thermal optic. Team members using standard image intensifier night vision may not be able to detect certain threats due to the camouflage of their surroundings. The operator with the M18 can spot these threats through foliage, smoke, fog, and inclement weather, and point out positions of possible threats using the covert infrared laser (only visible through night vision devices) or the visible laser. This increases team safety exponentially.
This version of the FLIR Recon M18 is equipped with a MILSPEC hardened thermal core that generates a 640×480 hi resolution image. The higher resolution produces a smoother image and still gives the operator good resolution when the electronic zoom feature is engaged.

If anyone is interested in the M60e4 I would entertain offers. It has under 5k rounds through it as new. It was sent to US Ord and converted to the latest and greatest echo 4 variant. This is one of the nicest 60's I've ran. I also have 25k rounds of liked Lake City 4+1 I would consider parting with if someone bought the 60. If anyone is actually serious in buying it, I can send better pix and give you more details on it. I'm not sure what it's worth, but I'm guessing it's around $50k or so.
Thanks Guys, more cool toys coming up for sell as I continue to clean out the 'gear room'
