Gen 1 night vision - Sightmark Ghost Hunter 2x24 Night Vision Monocular

This monocular provided pretty good night vision for a gen 1 device. However there are a couple of concerns with the device. 1.) The mounting plate is plastic and when I screwed the j arm for my Wilcox mount into it the threads started to strip. 2.) The device mounts forward of where a PVS-14 mounts and this means that it can't be moved rearward enough to minimize the eye relief required. This means I'll have to fabricate another mounting plate to retain the devise and allow it to mount rearward enough to gain a reasonable field of view. Unlike some Gen 1 devices, the IR illuminator is quite bright.
