Armasight CO-LR-LRF Gen 3 Alpha MG Night Vision Long Range Clip-on
From Night Vision Guys about Armasight CO-X Gen 3P Night Vision Clip-on Attachment NSCCOX0001P3DA1
Initially released as an exclusive model for Cabela's CO-X is now available in many night vision tube configurations from all Armasight distributors. As you may know, Armasight makes several models of night vision clip-ons. CO-mini, CO-MR and CO-LR are some examples. So what is the ideal niche for the CO-X model? Night Vision Guys are here to guide you! Perfect usage for CO-X night vision clip-ons is for closer range applications. Do not use it with day time optics of magnification greater than 4X-6X. Trijicon ACOG and EOTech HWS are ideal candidates to be paired with this night vision attachment. Armasight CO-X should not be used with day time optics having objective lens with diameters greater than 32mm.
As with all night vision clip-ons, the benefits of using them are clear. They provide you the versatility of using your daytime optic during the day and quickly converting it into a night vision optic when needed. This eliminates the need to rezero your daytime device or to have a second dedicated setup for night time use.
Armasight Gen 3P night vision tube used in this CO-X model is a top of the line Gen 3 night vision tube. Clip-on devices in this generation are typically capable of night time ranges up to 350 yards and more.
From Armasight about CO-X Gen 3P Night Vision Clip-on Attachment NSCCOX0001P3DA1
The Armasight CO-X Night Vision Clip-On System is one of the most advanced Night Vision Clip-On systems for mid-range night shooting, and stands out from the competition when it comes to clarity, versatility, reliability, function and value. The CO-X Night Vision Clip-On System converts your existing day scope into a night vision device and provides excellent target acquisition and aiming capabilities for the demanding sports shooter, hunter, military, law enforcement, and security personnel. Engineered using the latest advancements in Night Vision technology, the CO-X Clip-On System eliminates the traditional requirement of removing your existing day scope from your rifle to replace it with a dedicated night vision sight (which would also involve re-zeroing). The CO-X simply mounts in front of your existing day scope. Because the Armasight CO-X Gen 3P Night Vision Clip-On System is factory bore-sighted to tolerances of less than 1 MOA, no rezeroing is required. The Clip-On System allows the user to maintain consistent positioning and shooting accuracy, all while maintaining the use of a fully familiar day scope. A wireless remote control unit can be placed anywhere on the user’s weapon, allowing quick and easy activation of the CO-X Clip-On System.
Recommended for use with day scopes of up to 6X-7X magnification, the CO-X is equipped with a locking quick-disconnect mounting system that provides the user with an simple and fast way to attach or detach the CO-X on any standard Weaver or Picatinny rail. The CO-X Night Vision Clip-On System can be equipped with high-performance Gen 2+ image intensifier tubes using Green phosphor or “Quick Silver” and “Ghost” image intensifier tubes which provide users with natural B&W night vision displays.

Our Night Vision units with the 3P designation use ITT Pinnacle™ Image Intensifier tubes. The industry leading ITT Pinnacle™ image tubes utilize a gated power supply providing truly outstanding performance in high-light or light-polluted areas, such as urban environments. The Pinnacle™ tube with gated power supply minimizes any “halo” effects. “Halo” is often associated with using night vision devices in an urban area where random street lights are often an issue with early Generation Night Vision devices. Night Vision units with Pinnacle™ tubes have a resolution of 57-64lp/mm and a typical signal to noise ratio between 16.2 and 25 . All Night Vision devices utilizing Pinnacle™ Image Intensifier tubes come with ITT data record sheet. Units with Pinnacle™ tubes are not available for export. A signed export compliance and end use statement is required prior to shipping of these units. As with all night vision tubes, each one coming off the production best has different parameters. We can help you with picking the parameters which will fit your needs and the price of the device will depend on the quality of the tube you select.

Delivery Time and Manufacturing Process for Armasight CO-X Gen 3P Night Vision Clipon:
Most of our manufacturers do not keep products like Armasight CO-X Gen 3P Night Vision Clipon assembled on the shelf. Night Vision tubes are kept separate from the body of the unit. When the order is placed, the manufacturer starts the order processing and assembly process which includes the following:
- Order processing - we collect all the necessary information including address and phone numbers. We also make sure that our customer ordered the correct product for their needs and that the product can be exported by US law to the country of destination. In some cases a signed export compliance form is required.
- QC - in this step the manufacturer will inspect all individual parts which will be used to assemble the night vision device for any defects.
- Production & Assembly - during production, all the parts are put together. Night Vision tubes in inserted into the body of the unit and all the complex electronics for the device are connected. This process takes place in a special lab called the "clean room" as even a small speckle of dust can cause undesired optical effect.
- QA - one the night vision device is assembled, it goes through a rigorous testing process to make sure it meets all the expected specifications and all parts function as expected. For this most manufacturers have a special "dark room" designed to allow testing of the units without causing incidental damage to the night vision tube by exposure to bright light.
- Packaging - this is a key process as well. In most case your night vision device will be shipped to you directly from the manufacturer but sometimes needs to be sent to us first. In either case items need to be packaged securely to avoid any kind of damage during transportation.
- Shipping - as described above items will most of the time ship from the manufacturer. For most domestic orders (unless shipping to POB or AFB) a premium shipper like FedEx or UPS will be used.
Only by following the above steps can we along with our manufacturers bring you - our customer - night vision products of highest quality, However as you can understand the above process can take several days to complete. For example if your device fails QA, the entire process restarts. Also at QC stage a manufacturer may realize that the tube they have in stock has a defect and a replacement tube needs to be ordered. Due to the complexity of this process, it is prudent to expect 3-4 business days for production and handling of the purchased device. Keep in mind that this process is designed to guarantee your satisfaction with the night vision device of your choice. It occasionally possible to expedite the process for urgent orders but addional fees or other restrictions may apply.

Question
Would it make a difference in how far or how close I mounted this in front of the day scope? Would the image clarity be any different?
From Brandon on Jan 17, 2018
Answer
Hi Brandon. There is a standard range within which it should be mounted (pretty close to each other). The unit comes with a light suppressor which lives between the daytime scope and the clipon, this also limits the distance.
