G24 Mount FAQs

What is the "breakaway" feature on the G24 mount? 

The breakaway feature is a safety system built into the mount's design. If your goggles get snagged, the mount is made to detach from the helmet base to help prevent neck injuries. You can easily enable or disable this feature with a lever.

What night vision devices will work with the Wilcox G24 mount? 

The G24 mount uses a dovetail shoe interface that securely locks NVGs into place. It is directly compatible with devices like the AN/PVS-15, AN/PVS-18, AN/PVS-31/BNVD, and GPNVG-18 (Dovetail). Other thermal or NVG devices may also be compatible but might require additional accessories.

Do I need a special helmet shroud to use the G24 mount? 

Yes, the L4G24 Wilcox mount is engineered to work as one complete system with a Wilcox helmet shroud. Using the G24 with a Wilcox one-hole or three-hole shroud ensures a stable fit and is required to be covered by the 5-year warranty. Using off-brand shrouds can affect stability and will void the Wilcox warranty.

How should I take care of my G24 Wilcox mount? 

To keep your mount reliable, clean off any dirt or saltwater residue after each use. You can wipe it with a clean, damp cloth or flush it with fresh water. Lightly lubricating the stainless-steel parts will help ensure a long service life. If any play develops in the mechanisms, adjustments can be made with a 1/16 or .050 hex driver to tighten the screws.
