Just in case any varmints want to sneek around the demesne at night... we've got that covered. Romanian AK-clone, Czech night vision sight. I've got the battery pack, too, but haven't figured a battery source or work-around.

About 3rd Gen for those, as in, the last of them before the image intensifiers. I expect I won't find the right batteries, but I might be able to kluge together something that will provide the right voltage to at least see if it's in working order. It wasn't portrayed, nor priced, as a working gizmo, so if I can make it work, that's gravy. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/since_were_so_f_1.html#comment-72245 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/since_were_so_f_1.html#comment-72245 Mon, 21 Apr 2008 10:10:54 -0600 Reminds me of the Korean War vintage IR "snooperscope" & light on the M1 carbine. Cool addition to the collection, but good luck on the batteries. All I have is a PVS-2 and a PVS-4. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/since_were_so_f_1.html#comment-72244 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/since_were_so_f_1.html#comment-72244 Mon, 21 Apr 2008 10:03:37 -0600 No one is immune from the Great Hall Echo. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/since_were_so_f_1.html#comment-72243 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/since_were_so_f_1.html#comment-72243 Mon, 21 Apr 2008 09:45:34 -0600 I see you cloned the clone. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/since_were_so_f_1.html#comment-72241 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/since_were_so_f_1.html#comment-72241 Mon, 21 Apr 2008 09:42:44 -0600
