2.4 MOUNTING IN-LINE WITH OTHER OPTICS
When the LWTS is mounted in line with another optical sight,
either an interface hood or shroud may be used to improve
light security and image quality. Several different interface
hoods and shrouds are available to accommodate a variety
of clip-on configurations.
Using a Shroud
Shrouds are equipped with an integral threaded connector
that attaches directly to the LWTS eyepiece assembly and
are used as follows:
1. Mount the day optic to the weapon rail per manufacturer’s
operating instructions.
2. Screw the appropriate shroud onto the LWTS eyepiece
assembly by turning clockwise until tight.
3. With the LWTS held in one hand, slide the free end of the
shroud into the objective lens of the day optic.
4. Position the LWTS over the weapon rail to identify the
recoil groove that will provide the best mounting location.
The best mounting location will ensure that the shroud is
inserted as far as possible into the objective assembly of
the day optic without collapsing the shroud.
5. Mount the LWTS to the weapon rail by performing the
steps contained in section 2.3.
