User questions & answers

Question:	Can I be sure that I will receive recently manufactured compass if I order it from here
Answer:	All the compasses in our inventory have manufacture dates in the last five months.
Question:	Does the compass come with a canvas pouch
Answer:	The Compass comes with a good quality nylon pouch that secures with a snap. There is a sturdy strip of heavy nylon on the backside of the pouch to allow it to be secured to web gear with either Alice or Molle type clips. The compass also comes with a nylon lanyard of good quality to allow it to be carried around your neck if desired. This is a well made compass and worth the money in my opinion. I hope this helps.
Question:	I just took a night time navagation course and am wondering if you can set a bearing with this without the use of a flashlight
Answer:	I have NOT purchased this item so I cannot verify that it meets the MIL-SPEC. But If this is made to MIL-SPEC the bezel will have 120 detent notches that correspond to three degrees of arc. Rotate the bezel to set the luminous line to align with the fixed black line. Then rotate the bezel one click for every three degrees between NORTH and the desired course. Simple example: to travel west (270° Magnetic) rotate the bezel 30 clicks clockwise. Then when you align the north seeking arrow with the luminous line 270° will be under the black line. Of course with this style compass you have to do the math to correct for the mag. deviation in your area. If you want a compass that handles that for you, consider a Silva Ranger or similar where you declinate the compass to whatever area you are navigating and don't have to do the math. But the Silva does NOT have radioactive markings so you will need to "charge it" with a light from time to time which goes back to your original question. I used the military issue compasses for several decades and thought they were great, especially the older version that had a Radium paint rather than Tritium. Radium dials were far brighter and had a long half life decay.
Question:	US manufactured or China
Answer:	If it is not listed made in the U.S.A., then it is most likely made in the PRC irregardless of the letters U.S. stamped in it. If it were a genuine U.S.A. made tritium lensatic compass, the price would be over $100.00 easily.

Answer:	about 0.4 ib

Answer:	it's not a reliable direction finder in a car because the car body is steel, which is magnetic.
