The PICTAIL 2 mounting system is the updated version of the iRay-AC52 PICTAIL. It is the combination of a standard dovetail shoe commonly used on helmet mountable night vision optics and the MIL-STD-1913 picatinny rail used on weapons platforms. The PICTAIL 2 was redesigned to increase compatibility with new weapon and helmet mounting interface hardware that has entered the market since its original creation, while still maintaining the compatibility of the original PICTAIL with standard dovetail receptacles used in helmet mounting interface hardware made by Wilcox, KVC, and others.
The synergy of these two mounting formats creates a system that is more accurate and versatile on a rifle while maintaining all dovetail capabilities on a helmet.
The counterpart to the dovetail side of the PICTAIL shoe is MIL-STD-1913 picatinny rail, specially designed with one slot that interfaces with the ADM MQD mount. The PICTAIL and MQD mount work in tandem to achieve an adjustable footprint on any standard picatinny rail. In standalone optic mode, they produce over 4.5 inches of rear offset, and when reversed for use in clip-on mode, the MQD and PICTAIL shrink the rear offset to just 1.5 inches. In clip-on mode, the required forward rail space is just 4 rail slots in front of a day optic, making the PICTAIL and MQD the perfect combination for shorter platforms like SBRs and pistols.
iRayUSA partnered with Ultimate Night Vision to redesign and produce the PICTAIL 2. iRayUSA continues to partner with American Defense Manufacturing to produce the MQD, delivering ADM’s gold standard picatinny mounting solution.

Really nice infrared light—it completely illuminates the area! The AGM NVG-40 NL1 Gen 2+ night
Really nice infrared light—it completely illuminates the area! The AGM NVG-40 NL1 Gen 2+ night vision goggles perform so well on their own that they rarely require an extra illuminator, but having this available is a game-changer in pitch-black rooms or areas with zero ambient light
Thank you for the detailed review! I'm glad to hear the infrared illuminator is performing so well with your AGM NVG-40 NL1 Gen 2+ night vision goggles. It's great that the goggles perform so well on their own, but having that extra illumination available in complete darkness can certainly make a big difference. I always enjoy hearing how customers are putting their equipment to use and how well everything works together. I truly appreciate your business and your continued support of Night Vision Universe!
