Hello from England :D

My name is Sid and I'm an internet mate of His Royal Highness Mack The Knife Bana.
He turned up on one of our UK gun forums 7 years ago and we never managed to get rid of him.

I promise to be on my best behaviour :D

Let's just say he's a diamond in the rough and with a wit that will have you in splits....provided you have a thick hide. :wink:

For those who don't know, Sid is an authority on night vision equipment and he does not have a doctorate in the subject either. He is self taught and I'd go out on a limb to say that he was very much responsible for popularising NV equipment in the U.K..

He is now a registered gunsmith, again self taught and it all started with a Diana 52. I lost touch with Sid for a year or so but if I am not mistaken he specialises in AR15s now. Naren, you finally found yourself a soul mate. ;)

Sounds a bit like Hotel California! Very well then, I may as well make myself comfortable.

Yep! Just be careful of the resident trolls... they seem to have taken a shine to you! The "Bana" charm at work - eh? :lol: :lol:

Sorry... but was too damn easy to resist! :mrgreen:

What is the legality of NV equipment in the UK? In India all NV stuff is prohibited for use by civilians! :roll:

Welcome aboard Sid,
Got hammered for some legit NV equipment , used for wildlife photography, in my 'discovery' days...The cameraman, a gentle soul,if ever there was one, Terry, managed to get it going for some crucial filming of bears in chattisgarh, using my pocket maglite-as power source- (after the cops took away the battery pack)
;)
Best
