I am a newb to this forum but I have some experience with military and civilian IR lasers and illuminators. My experience has led me to find that I cannot afford to purchase a military grade unit to do what I am looking for so I came here in hopes that someone could build one for me or maybe direct me to a kit or builder.
The military unit that comes closest to what I need is the ground commanders pointer that is 175mw it has a variable power out put and variable beam width. They routinely sell for $1750-2500
Anyway what I want the illuminator to do is solidly not marginally illuminate a target area of maybe 30-50 feet diameter or greater i know at that range there will be some divergence at 1000 yards.
I also need this unit to be small enough to be easily portable and rifle mountable so it has to withstand recoil. I can manufacture a mount as I am a machinist I could also build a complete housing if need be if someone can provide the internals.
thanks for any thoughts or information in advance
