I know you posted this 9 years ago, but it is still very relevant. It was extremely helpful in understanding the rail adapters and how to install and use them. Thank you for taking the time to make and post this video.
Thanks ! It was a great help to work on my Peltor Comtac Mount. Quite hard at first to mount the headset on the ARC Rails Adapters. After many tries, I use a simple method. I put the two pieces in place and use a Gerber multitool to clip them together. Really simple and fast....
One simple trick if u want to keep your arc rail adapter clicked in unscrew the arc rail adapter and put a Bungie under the metal and screw it back on and u don’t have to worry about it popping out
funny shit.. turned my scanner on....good vid man.....got my level III ballistic helmet coming in a few days and gonna install some howard lights on it....
Is there a difference between doing it this way and simply taking the headset straight off the prongs (when it comes to wear and tear, risk of breaking anything, etc.)
Thanks a lot man! I've been conflicted about what helmet headset combo i should buy. This looks easy enough. And looks amazing as well. I just hope I can get these things in from EU since I live there. The import tax from stuff outside EU is...expansive to say the least.
Was getting a little hung up trying to remove the mic. I just took the earcup off the hangar and then pulled it apart a little harder. Word for the wise: DON'T try to pry anything in there. You're not going to damage the peg, but it's not going to look as pretty
Im so confused. I bought a pair of adapters but they only work when the long portion of that adapters are at opposite end of each other and when the boom mic adapter side is on the side where the boom mic plugs in. idk if i got a faulty pair, please help!!!!
hi buddy i have z tac comtac II, recently i bought arc ops core helmet adapter but i have a problem with microphone, its not fully seated in microphone place of adapter. I mean its falling, i tried to push it but seems does not work. Unhappily also i accidently i broke my original microphone holder rode so i dont have any idea what should i do ?
ok ...man please tell me where you got all this commo systems at ? where did you buy it from so I can purchase been looking everywhere but man so many out there everyone is the best by there standards . so can you help me out ?
So this is the Aramid version of the FMA Maritime, right? Have you ever tried to put these on the ABS plastic version of the FMA Maritime? How do you think, will they fit without wobbling or are there any chances they won't?
+LightAfterNight That's what I thought, they wouldn't make different one for the Aramid version, but on the other hand - nothing surprises me anymore in airsoft so I wanted to be sure. Thanks for the answer.
Eric Valdez I never cut the leather band on mine. I actually just stowed it under the pads so that if I did decide to run the headset plain, it would still have the leather sheath option. So it depends on how you break down the headset to put on the arc adapters
How are the TRI repro's? I owned two pairs of Element ones and they both died on me. I don't play enough to justify the purchase of the real deal Comtac's either.
The TRI repros are good for a starting headset, the noise amplification is OK at best, but they have saved my ears more then just a few times in CQB places. I would take the TRI ones over the Element or Z-Tac ones any day.
so I installed a 3m peltor adapters, however in the locked down position the peltors do not fit me tightly. how do you tighten it, to make the arms push inwards more?
+David Canlas I have never heard that problem before unless you got ripped off or bought the fake ones as I had that problem with the FMA ones I owned.
Yes. The comtacs are designed to be worn under a helmet. Mine fit under my ACH just fine. With over the ear helmets, its still possible. The benefit of the setup in the video is you can pop the cups off your head and cool off while still hearing comms. Allows you to stay under night vision too.
Yes I am, but some other things are taking my money away. The LUX, replacing the manta with a real one, and a cover will be the final pieces of the helmet.
TFS - Swedish Airsoft Team I honestly cant remember. Sorry. Just google it. You will find them for around 60$ and WELL worth it over the shitty FMA ones.
I still think its so funny that after all these years this is the video with the most attention. Its because EVERYONE struggles to put these things on hahaha!!

I wish he still uploaded
@@Thatguy21110 It looks like he has gone in a different direction; i.e. Dirt Biking. I am just grateful that he hasn’t taken anything down.

Saved me! I struggled for 30 min to get those damn arms on before I watched your video! Pliers are key!
Great block of instruction w/o unnecessary clutter.. Thanks! 🤠

Lovely review! I would like to install my new Peltor Comtac IV on my fast helmet once i receive the rail adapters :D
Thank you so much. It helped me a lot
I needed this!!! Exactly this!!
funny shit.. turned my scanner on....good vid man.....got my level III ballistic helmet coming in a few days and gonna install some howard lights on it....
haha I love this dudes casual cussing. thanks for the vid.
Seal Team 6?
Awesome video
How do you remove the arc rail adapter from the arc rail itself? Without damaging the little tab that clicks into the individual notches?

How does mounting peltors to ops-core compare to mounting to tw?

Hey! Maybe the fake ones could be used to make better mounts for the HL1 Surefire helmet lights???
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I just got these adapters in about 10 minutes ago, and they don't seem to fit on the rails of my kevlar.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for the review ya I got some fake crap rails won't pop in or out.
Really helpful. Thank you.
great video. Where did you end up running the cord between the earpieces?
Mine were hard to put on too
I broke my adapters putting them on my comtac IIs I wish I had an easier time with them like you did, I guess I'll stick with my hand mic.
Trust me, It took me about 20-30 minutes to put them on the first time and probably some nerve damage on my fingers too haha!

So before you had the adaptors, you just ran the headsets with the headband under your helmet right?
How you slide the arc rails so easy bro
Is it possible to go back to headband option, provided that one has a headband cover?
+Eat68 Yes it is.
LightAfterNight using that rigid plastic piece with the leather or can go back without the leather? Thanks for replying!
You will have to go without the leather, just gotta get a headband cover.
Thanks for the clarification!
can you covert neckband versions to the ARC rails?
hi! what's products name of helmet??please tell me!
Thanks for this video.
Does this headset adapter fit safariland liberator 5? Does anyone know of what arc rail adapter fit the liberator 5 headset?
Do you know if this rail adapters works with comtac II or IV?! Or I need a specific rails?
It should work with all of them.
Thanks for reply!
Does the headset pull out and rotate back for storage or non use?
Having a pts flux helmet makes getting rail adapters difficult
ok ...man please tell me where you got all this commo systems at ? where did you buy it from so I can purchase been looking everywhere but man so many out there everyone is the best by there standards . so can you help me out ?
What NVG mount is that? very slick
how do you it off for impact sport headset?
So this is the Aramid version of the FMA Maritime, right? Have you ever tried to put these on the ABS plastic version of the FMA Maritime? How do you think, will they fit without wobbling or are there any chances they won't?
Lol dude, its the same rails just a different shell. It should work just fine.
+LightAfterNight That's what I thought, they wouldn't make different one for the Aramid version, but on the other hand - nothing surprises me anymore in airsoft so I wanted to be sure. Thanks for the answer.
Can I do this whith a advance combat helmet?
Is it possible to remove the headset from the side rails?
you mentioned you ran the wire inside the helmet how did you do that and keep the wires from resting on your head or neck and not get pinched
Just some tape really.
Is this for airsoft?
Thanks!
So once you decide to use ARC adapters you basically toss out the head band option right? There's no way to go back and forth?
Eric Valdez I never cut the leather band on mine. I actually just stowed it under the pads so that if I did decide to run the headset plain, it would still have the leather sheath option. So it depends on how you break down the headset to put on the arc adapters
Not really, just get a cover for the head band.
How are the TRI repro's? I owned two pairs of Element ones and they both died on me. I don't play enough to justify the purchase of the real deal Comtac's either.
The TRI repros are good for a starting headset, the noise amplification is OK at best, but they have saved my ears more then just a few times in CQB places. I would take the TRI ones over the Element or Z-Tac ones any day.
LightAfterNight Thanks for the reply. I'll have to look into them more.
so I installed a 3m peltor adapters, however in the locked down position the peltors do not fit me tightly. how do you tighten it, to make the arms push inwards more?
+David Canlas I have never heard that problem before unless you got ripped off or bought the fake ones as I had that problem with the FMA ones I owned.
+LightAfterNight no they're real 3ms. my headsets aren't squeezing enough
+LightAfterNight so. I figured it out. the openings of the 3m adapter was facing the wrong way. the opening was facing outwards instead of inwards.
Thanks
how do you like your FMA helmet? is it carbon fiber or ABS plastic?
+Ranger77 Its the arimid version.
where did you get the pouch on the back of your helmet?
check out TNVC they have a few counterweight options
Is it possible to wear a headset under the helmet without dismantleing the headset?
Yes. The comtacs are designed to be worn under a helmet. Mine fit under my ACH just fine. With over the ear helmets, its still possible. The benefit of the setup in the video is you can pop the cups off your head and cool off while still hearing comms. Allows you to stay under night vision too.
@@OMACMedicFiveZero thanks for reply!💪
Hi, what's the "bag" behind your helmet ?
counterweight.
Will the mounts work with a normal picattany rail?
drev1 you could mount picatinny rails to the ARC system, funny thing is I saw a guy that had a headset that uses M lok attachments
where do you hide the visible wires?
Inside the helmet.
Still planing on getting the LUX Liner?
Yes I am, but some other things are taking my money away. The LUX, replacing the manta with a real one, and a cover will be the final pieces of the helmet.
LightAfterNight Hey man, I was wondering where you purchased your ARC rail adapters from? I am having so much trouble
Lots of places to purchase them, just a quick google search
thanks man!
@@LightAfterNightLAN 7 years later, just clicked that link. At work. 😐
@@LeadFarmer_84 LMAOOOO wow, that link has changed quite a bit haha
Where did you find the rail adapters because i cant find them anywhere?
+cesman9 I got mine from ebay. But watch out for fakes. They should be anywhere from 60$ to 70$
much thanks man!
can you use these with the peltor sporttac?
+Seth Duplechain I have never tried, but I would assume so.
I broke the tab. Shoulda watched this first.😞
looking to pick up a headset and i was wondering what headset is that? where do i find it and how much
I'm late but I'm pretty sure the ones he's using are actually used by military so like 600 dollars but you can find some for like 50-90 dollars
Brand name please
Yes because you most certainly need to deafen the noise of an airsoft rifle right?
Not necessarily, but I most certainly need to communicate with my teammates. Which these are great for.
plus have you ever bin hit on the ear that shit hurts :)
Where did you get those?
TFS - Swedish Airsoft Team I honestly cant remember. Sorry. Just google it. You will find them for around 60$ and WELL worth it over the shitty FMA ones.
OK thanks anyway, I was thinking of getting the Z-Tactical ones. Do you know anything about those?
LightAfterNight shop.ehobbyasia.com/z-tactical-helmet-rail-adaptor-set-for-comtac-i-and-ii-dark-earth.html#.VWxWx1y8PGc
No, those are the fake ones. Their god awful. Not worth 2$.
oh, but im really not picky, still not worth? what is so bad about them?
How much for the L4G30?
For you.... 500$.
Oh so you just shove it on the rails. I thought surely there was some mechanism or technique that I was missing.
I still think its so funny that after all these years this is the video with the most attention. Its because EVERYONE struggles to put these things on hahaha!!
dont even know how to use arc guide rail system
NOT Thanks! WTF... Everything you did was off camera - FML!
You know, if you join the military, you get all this shit for free...
OPS Cores and Comtac IIIs?? maybe for SF or SEALs.
Lol nope... Only certain ppl get these toys...
wanna know how I know you aren't in the military..
Lol Nothing in the military is free. Every piece of gear have a serial number and is inventoried.
