The Condition One Nightcap from Badger Ordnance
In a low/no-light environment, the ability to check your elevation turret settings ranges from difficult to impossible. What options are available to you? Pull out a flashlight and destroy your natural night vision, or even worse, introduce unwanted illumination to your firing position? Maybe you have head-borne night vision. Are they adjusted to read the fine markings on your turret, if they even have the resolution required? More than likely, you’re working with clip-on thermals or night vision units and you’re not wearing head-borne night vision when behind a precision rifle. Whether on a deployment, or hunting varmints on the back 40, the ability to know the condition of your optic inputs is one that shouldn’t be overlooked.
After multiple conversations with an entity within the US Army, we created a simple, low-cost, and durable product that neither requires batteries nor risks over-illumination. Made from a high tensile nylon with a reentrant groove designed to seat a Cyalume 1.5” mini type A ChemLight, the C1 Nightcap slides onto a 35mm or 34mm standard C1 ring cap (C1 MAX variants to come) and can be both easily and quickly removed for storage by lifting the side tabs… all while weighing only 0.2 ounces. We provide each C1 Nightcap with 3 mini ChemLights and have additional units for sale. Military customers may note the NSN of these ChemLights for alternative procurement methods.
Sometimes a simple solution works best, and while this is by no means a “revolutionary game-changer” it is available for those users who may benefit. Anyone interested in purchasing the C1 Nightcap can visit www.badgerordnance.com and search for P/N 700-50 – The Condition One Nightcap.
