0 Stone Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Looks like a British image-intensifier tube / night sight - probably Gen1 - on an AFV periscope mount, that narrows it down a lot! Probably not Warrior, so 432 or CVR(T)? (guess: the latter) A clearer shot of the NSN would let someone look it up... Stone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 robin craig Posted November 29, 2010 Author Share Posted November 29, 2010 the NSN off the tag is 5855 99 965 3614 at least that is on that component of the whole unit. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 sirhc Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Robin, Not sure about the mount it is fitted in, but the actual sight unit is the same as fitted to Ferret, CVRT, Chieftain etc. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 robin craig Posted November 30, 2010 Author Share Posted November 30, 2010 What about CVR(W) FOX? would it fit that? The casting has "Chieftain AVRE" all over it. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 FourFox Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Hi Robin I have several of these. They are a variant of the Chieftain MBT periscope and will not fit CVRT or CVRW. They have a different viewing angle, preumably because the driver is lying down more. The complete viewing fixture is different with prism and rubber eyepiece being at quite the wrong angle. I have just cannibalised one to repair a CVRT one. The image intensifier is the same, as is the iris mechanism and the objective fitting. The small frame of the heated viewing screen is slightly different shape but will fit with a bit of modification with a hacksaw! The outer objective hood and CVRT/CVRW fitting is interchangeable with the Cheiftain ones. Regards Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
