A better case for cases.


[ILLUSTRATIONS OMITTED]

Dear Editor,

Here at Ft Leonard Wood, we run into situations where the storage cases for night vision and small arms small arms, firearms designed primarily to be carried and fired by one person and, generally, held in the hands, as distinguished from heavy arms, or artillery. Early Small Arms


The first small arms came into general use at the end of the 14th cent.
 sights are either difficult to replace or don't do a good job protecting the sights. And some sights don't come with storage cases.

We've found that the Pelican company is a good source for storage cases of all types. They sell cases that have pull-and-pluck foam that allows you to fashion exactly the space needed inside the case for the particular sight. The sight is protected on all sides with the foam, so there's almost no chance it can be damaged.

Pelican has a military catalog catalog, descriptive list, on cards or in a book, of the contents of a library. Assurbanipal's library at Nineveh was cataloged on shelves of slate. The first known subject catalog was compiled by Callimachus at the Alexandrian Library in the 3d cent. B.C.  that can be accessed online:

The catalog includes the dimensions of the inside and outside of each case, foam depth, and the case's NSN NSN National Stock Number
NSN Nokia Siemens Networks
NSN National Storytelling Network
NSN NATO Stock Number
NSN New Substances Notification (CEPA)
NSN National Student Number (NZ)
NSN Never Say Never
.

And the cases have a lifetime warranty.

: It is better to spend a few dollars on a good storage case for your sights than thousands replacing a sight. You can probably find similar storage cases at your local large discount home repair store. Thanks for the tip!
