Note- I am only intersted in hearing from industry professionals or people with actual experience. I’m not interested in hearing about what you think (unless you are one of those aforementioned pros).
I have an older BAE Systems ACH. I would like to convert my NVD mount to an Ops-Core VAS shroud. Unfortunately, my lid is a 1-hole pattern and it would require drilling the 3-hole pattern.
From what I understand and the folks I have talked to, this can be done if using a high speed drill (e.g. a drill press) and carbide bits, to make sure you actually cut through the Kevlar vs “burning” through. After the process, epoxy the now exposed kevlar fibers for moisture resistance and preventing fiber separation.
Has anyone on this forum done this conversion? Is there anyone out there that does this professionally?
My apologies if this has been discussed before, I did spend a decent amount of time using the search function. If I failed, please point me in to the right thread and then I will take my time in the stocks.
