@somethingoriginalx the 3m helmet is a good deal I have a Gentex high cut and a HHV. I got my PVS14 from night vision inc he has good reviews and what not from all the NVG gurus on the AR15 forums. 2400$ on his Black Friday sale for this gen 3 L3 thin filmed tube. Pretty basic specifications on my sheet but for the price and 1 tiny spec you can barely see it was a good pick up.

Steel industry sell blem/ refurbished units for good prices off there Facebook and posts pictures of them blem so you get to pick and chose.

TNVC is hands down the highest quality even if you pay more and have to wait they have very high spec tubes

@TacticalBeard and here i was thinking id have to spend $1400 on a good cap or buy that garbage ar500 steel helmet when it comes out

I mean.... I actually think the AR500 helmet is an interesting item

I just have no use for it since I have 2 Kevlar high cuts

5 years ago I probably would have got it along with my steel plates 🤷‍♂️

oh i do too im pretty sure its going to be the only sub $2000 helmet that'd meet nij level 4 rating and under what 5.5 lbs? i just don't wanna cover my head with steel when i could save and get some Gucci gear. The only reason i have a kneejerk reaction to ar500 now is how they marketed

* the helmet as a "Crey percision ops core Team Wendy industry killer 5000!!!!"

loL not a crye killer but it’s respectable that the crye failed and the steel helmet did not. AR500 will have there helmet be LVL3 rifle rated with there add on ceramic plate.

HHV currently sells there rifle rated add on now as well for the front half the rear half isn’t out yet

Wilcox Mount and J arm are nice for mounting your PVS14 to the helmet lots of adjustments for your eye

ive heard of Wilcox but not j arm and honestly its pretty cool to see the industry never getting complacent with what they do how they do it and so forth in all my years id never imagine being able to get a good ballistic helmet let alone a level 4 rated one

@somethingoriginalx not level 4

? i thought ar500 was

Huh it’s not on there websight anymore

I get a 404 error

But no they just slap a ceramic shell on the helmet like HHV dose and it takes it from a LVL3A rated helmet to a LVL3

really? bc back in dec when they first announced it on the ar500 sight you had the option to get side rails, nvg mount and a "rifle up kit"... or pack and it said it brought it up to nij 4 spec, unless they took it away bc i cant find the og order page anymore

Since we can’t find it anymore who knows what going on with it. But I’m saying there’s no way it’s a LV4 helmet that can stop 30-06 AP. I don’t know of any helmet that can

thats why i was loosing my shit when ar claimed it! btw for HHV do they have the ceramic shell released yet?

Yes

Front half

Back half is coming eventually

found it andddd sold out lol

Lol I bet
