Description:

The Argus BNVD-1431 MK2 night vision binocular offers an affordable and versatile dual-tube solution, featuring articulating pods, adjustable joint tension, and interpupillary stops. A central power and gain control knob allows for variable gain adjustment, and the system can be powered by either a single AA battery or an external battery pack.

This pre-owned unit is a robust and proven platform, configured with NVT4 1400+ FOM White Phosphor (P45) autogated image intensifier tubes and YMON PVS-14 pattern optics.

The device has been fully serviced, professionally collimated, and dry nitrogen purged by Nocturnal Optics Australia to ensure correct optical alignment, environmental sealing, and reliable operation. The unit is in excellent working order, with minor cosmetic wear to the dovetail mount consistent with normal use. This does not affect function or performance.
