PLEASE NOTE:This unit is different from the other one listed. That one is gen. 3. this one is gen. 2+ from photonis - not the cCP!
This is a production item for us, not a unit that somebody doesn't want anymore. I keep getting messages asking for pictures through both tubes. The picture in the listing is indicative of what you can expect.
We DO NOT sell units with blemishes in zone 1 nor anything worse than a couple specs in zones 2 and 3. These are the kind that will disappear when you use them in the dark.
This is as close to the super cheap units you see online without havint to feel like you committed treason buying one. Why Is This?
The BNVD 1431 MK2 Photon1441 is a binocular night vision device (BNVD) that consists of FRENCH Photonis 1441 Image Intensifier Tubes, American Mil-Spec Optics by Carson, and a housing made by the Argus Company, modified by OPFOR Canada, then optimized and assembled here in the USA with mil-spec Carson Optics are the standard to which all others compare. They are Mil-Spec and a primary supplier to all branches of the United States Military.
How much does the BNVD 1431 Photon1441 cost and what do I get?
Each standard 1431 MK2 system ships with the goggle, lens covers, AA batteries, and soft case. The price per unit is ,600. A 2 year warranty against system failure during normal use is included. All Adams Industries systems ship within the USA for free.
What Are The 1431 MK2 Photon1441 System Specifications?
The Argus Company manufactures the BNVD 1431 MK2 binocular night vision housing. They improved the MK1 in many ways. Some of the key features and specifications of the MK2 include:
Improved seals to prevent water and dust ingress
Improved screws that are more durable and less likely to strip
Longer IPD stop screws to provide a wider range of adjustment
Built-in IR illuminator for low-light and no-light conditions
Redesigned pods that are more ergonomic and durable
A single AA battery powers the Argus BNVD 1431 MK2
Its durability, features, and low price make it a popular choice for many users
Please note! No manual gain control on this one!
Why Do We Base Our Systems Off The OPFOR “Canadian Custom” Housing?
The Canadian Custom 1431 is lighter, tougher, and has better quality control than the standard version. It would take many extra hours to bring a standard BNVD up to the OPFOR standard. So why fight it? By starting with the OPFOR housing, we begin our journey with the best materials and work from there.
And Finally, Why Are AI BNVD 1431 Mk2 Units Special?
It may seem like there is not much else to do, but details matter. The journey continues with fixing the
1431’s pod switch issue. Next, solder joints are strengthened and key channels are clearanced to avoid wire chafing. The tubes are mechanically centered in the pods to tighten collimation for less eye fatigue from long term use. The aluminum D-collars are a nice touch as well.
Every unit is built in a 100% clean room facility with scrubbed air and assembled in a downdraft cabinet. ANVIS torque wrenches tighten the pods assembly. The assembly is tested by pulling a 20 inHG vacuum on the goggle for 20 mins, ensuring an airtight seal. After this test, the unit is purged with nitrogen. Finally, the goggle is collimated on a Hoffman ANV-126A Test Set.

First two pictures are stock pics. The second two are from a contract we recently delivered to a law enforcement agency in the midwest. They got five 1431s and two PVS-14s. All Omni 7.
THEY LOVE THEM.
In fact, they've already started referring other law enforcement agencies that are also living on a budget.
* We assemble these units. If you have seen another sold on here with this same listing from us, that is a different unit. This one is YOUR UNIT.
Did i mention FREE SHIPPING?
NO EXPORT!! This item falls under the ITAR. If you are in a foreign country or a foreign person in the United States, do not order this! Don't have it sent to your forwarding service. Don't have it sent to your family member. All of this is ILLEGAL and in the case of your family member will likely get them thrown in the graybar motel (that's prison BTW). Not worth it. Don't do it!
