    Not a Problem Dave . Im sure we will find you something. Can even get you a D-760 like Spanners (2 week delivery) though with a Photonis Tube, Legal (probably Unlike Spanners), Warranty and if you want parts no problem.... (unlike Spanners). Spanners D-760 has the ITT Pinnical Tube but it still has a Russian Housing. Its very much a trade off and having used a fair bit of U.S Gen3 I have come to the conclusion that for the extra bit of view if you are not in a life or death situation. The Risk of imprisonment, lack of warranty and the fact if it goes Kaput you can`t get it fixed just isnt worth the Hassel. That said I won`t touch anything with a Ex Eastern block Tube, their housings and optics are ok though and a lot of the stuff sold in the U.S even Gen3 has Russian housings and also in many cases Tubes though in general not the Gen3 as the Russian tubes are more expensive then the U.S ones and not as good.
    Talk soon Darrin

    If you;'re looking for a bite, I'll give you one
    You know nothing about where/what and how I have got my nightvision gear.
    All my gear was imported 100% legally to NZ, though possibly out of warranty now, I have no problems getting parts if required.
    You obviously have no other level to stoop to to try and justify selling your over priced and well under speced gear.
    The fact that you state your Gen 2+ is almost as good as Gen3 Omni3 confirms the quality of it.
    If you think for 1 minute that theres not much difference between OMNI3 and 6 then you obviously havnt used any quality equipment before.
    Photonis tubes prob have the worst rep out there HA!

    BTW, if you want to sell commercially here, you can pay for an advert and a section like everyone else does.

    Fair call Spanners
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
