Can anyone Identify this monocular? All I know is it's Gen 1.

[ShelledPants]

It looks like something from ATN, similar to the Viper Monocular. Gen1.

[J-Man19]

It's been painted, haven't seen any numbers, don't want to scratch the paint off as I'm trying to sell it.

Looks like an ATN Night Leopard.

[J-Man19]

That's it, wow this pos is gen 2+
I'll have to bump up my asking price.

[Qlong]

It could also be Gen 1, they have a few different models.

They use the same form factor for their different generations of tubes.

Question for you guys that go across the border for games. Have you taken your ITAR restricted gear across? Any hassles?

Hi J-Man,

You can just use a Y-38 for temporary Export from Canada if you want. Individuals also use Y-38's for other Airsoft related gear, which results in less hassle on your way back into Canada.

http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publicati...d2-6-5-eng.pdf

Typically if you are bringing anything over, a Camera, Laptop, etc - you should get a Y-38 to avoid any annoyances or hold ups. That being said, I have brought my laptop/personal possessions through customs countless times and have had CBSA ask/look at my stuff without any issues.

Because these items don't typically have a exterior serial number, the Y-38-I will provide you with a unique serial ID sticker for your item. Please note that the US Government doesn't recognize a Y-38, this is purely for use regarding bringing the item back into Canada with you once you have completed your temporary stay states side.

Hope that helps!

Ahhhhhhhhhh . . .

I would be cautious about that.

Unless you have a DSP-83 form with your name on it, any PVS-14 you find here in Canada that is US made will be grey market at best.

Taking them back into the states comes with a risk: you're technically planning to smuggle it out again by bringing it home with you, unless you have paperwork for the first time it left the States, and even then you might need something specific to take it out a second time.

People can be charged with violating ITAR pretty easily. The rules are designed to be flexible for prosecution, and are not enforced uniformly. You would be amazed at the kind of products that fall under ITAR controls. Technically anything with a picatinny mount qualifies.

Is it likely that you will be searched by a border services agent who knows the ins and outs of US made Night Vision paperwork? Not likely. In fact I'd call it extremely unlikely.

But that doesn't make it legal. Doing so is a calculated risk.

I have an international import certificate that allows me to bring certain things into Canada, but does not equal permission to take those same things out of the USA. It's messy.

Hi TV-PressPass,

What you're talking about seems to be items obtained by illegally exporting them from the US without documentation from the State Department. That is not the discussion here.

My response to J-Man is regarding purchases legally made within Canada, declaring them as such for re-entry into Canada, and how this can be done utilizing a Y-38 form obtainable from the Canadian Border Services office.

To quote from my previous post:

Regarding the specifics of "PVS-14" exportation from the US, and your calculations on searches with border services, I would recommend you discuss that somewhere else far away from Airsoftcanada.com
