View Thread: NPSU 1pn34 cams


kethcar
This might be a needle in a hey stack thing, but im looking for an AK-74 ballistic cam for the NPSU (1PN34) russian night vision scope.

I know of some sources for ballistic cams in finland, but they dont seem to have the AK-74 cam. At this point im not even sure they exist for the 1PN34, although i have heard they were used with the 74 in the earlier years. perhaps the cams are interchangable with the 1PN58?

Will any of the other cams suffice for the AK-74?

I can only get the following 1pn34 cams from the aformentioned source: RPK, RPG-7, AKM, PKM, SVD

ive tried tantals collector source as well, and he doesnt have any or know where to get them.

TIA


edit:

here is a picture of the cams, one of them is marked AK-74, so I reckon they do exist

Did you buy yours from Jarmo? I think mine came with a '74 cam but I can't tell which one it is. He might have some extras from the optics kits with non-working scopes.

I didnt get mine from Jarmo, I have asked him though, he says he doesnt have any AK-74 cams, so I have asked for a AKM cam, and he says he will get back with me if he finds more of them.

IIRC The AK-74 cam reads AK-74, maybe you have an RPK-74 cam, which has 3 cyrillic letters then -74.

If you are willing to trade cams i would love to do so. I have an RPG-7 cam (which reads PNF-7 in cyrillic)

The only ones I'll ever need are AKM and AK-74.

BTW, I just heard from my mother tonight that her place is under armed attack nightly (armadillos). So Friday I will be doing a field test on my latest purchase from Jarmo.

kethcar
what?? so you never plan to launch high explosive anti tank grenades? :D armadillos are lightly armoured, but a little extra never hurt.

I still havent got to use my NPSU. Im waiting on sir tantal to get back with me on availiblity of the RMP-3 side rail. he seems to be a busy fella.

how does the 54r compare ballistically to the 74?

kethcar
I have no idea, but its got me thinking.

I wonder how the RPG-7's rocket trajectory compares to 5,45. A quick google search revealed that the rocket grenades have quite a flat trajectory.

I'll be able to find out soon.. im sending off a money order for my siderail today.
