OFFICIAL detachable A1 carry handle group buy thread---CLOSED

This message has been approved by Aimless


Please post below if you are definitely in and if so for how many. Here is a link to the product: LINK


I have one of CNC's detach A1 handles, and it is my favorite irons setup. You can install an A1 sight kit and substitute an A2 aperture for the ultimate KISS sighting system. The aformentioned product does NOT come with the A1 sight parts kit, which may be ordered elsewhere for $15 or less.


PRICE:
$85 per handle + $10 for shipping---the amount CNC suggested so I will not have to pay any shipping out of pocket ($10 shipping for up to 4 handles, shipping for more than 4 handles will be $2 extra per handle). If we buy 41-60, the price goes down to $80 each, and if we buy 61 or more the price goes down to $75 each. If we do make it that high, everyone will be refunded the appropriate amount. The price is set at $85 each as that was the price I was given for 25-40 handles. Make your checks payable for that amount, and if anything changes I will refund you the appropriate $$.

Payment MUST be made by check. Once you have posted below to confirm you are in, please send me a pm with the following info: Your name/address and how many you are purchasing. I will then send you a pm with my info so you can send the check. I will deposit funds into my account (making sure the checks clear) and then write one large check to CNC. I want to get everything done asap, so the deadline for payment will be February 20. All orders will be shipped either FedEx or UPS ground and will go out within 1 week of my receiving the handles from CNC.

UPDATE: I spoke to the owner of CNC---he said he will not begin production until all orders are in and until I have sent him the funds. Production will take an estimated 3-4 weeks. This pushes the ETA back to early April. That is my best estimate of when the handles will be in your mailbox. Funds must be postmarked by February 20th and sent to me. Once you post here to confirm you are in, send me a PM with your name/address and I'll send you my info so you can send a check.

Any chance we can combine shipping on multiple orders?

+1 - I would like to buy 2 and am hoping this isn't $10 per unit for shipping?

Yes, shipping is only $10 per order. Sorry---I'll edit the first post to clarify.

EVERYONE:Please make sure to send me an IM if you haven't already done so with your personal info/address so I will be able to send you my address/info and confirm your order. Thanks!

Update bottom of first post---ETA for handles will be late March/early April.

I'm in for one. IM sent.

PM sent.

I already own a CNC A1 carry handle.
I stripped out one of the knob screw inserts,
Justin of CNC sent me a couple replacements free of charge.

Excellent customer service!!

Here's what it looks like mounted to my light weight KISS gun.
Feel free to IM me with any questions.

Nice setup! Are you using it with a normal fsb or an f fsb? Did you have any issues zeroing it?

That's my one question, standard FSB or "F?"

When I spoke to CNC they said the detach handle is designed to be "the same height as a normal a1 handle." I would assume this means it will zero normally with a normal fsb and cause the front sight post to be screwed down further than normal when zeroed using an f fsb. But I don't know for sure.

No that's good info - I'd potentially be ordering an upper that'd sit underneath this handle, so I wanted to check!

F this and F that.

That barrel is a Bushmaster lightweight that's been cut down to 14.5 and a Phantom permemently mounted.

It has the normal FSB.

I am using the XS 27/7 tritium stripe front sight post and the tritium same plane rear sight.

No issues zeroing it in, I use the Col. Santose "Improved Battlesight Zero" method.

Edit to add that I had one CMMG barrel with an F marked FSB, I put the non-tritium XS front and rear same plane sights (detachable carry handle) on it and used the Santose IBZ method and had no problems.

Edit to add that the front sight post co-wittnesses with the Eotech just fine.

KA3b, thanks for the info!

i am in

Will standard A3 removable carry handle knobs work with this? I think I might be in. It would look good on my new Colt 6933 Commando

Yes.
This is a pic of one from the 2004 GB I just obtained from Giffmann.

Tell your wife thank you for the both of us---she let's you buy gun stuff and buys me a cup of coffee to boot!

Are you still looking for 5 orders or so? If so, I'll put in an order for (1) handle.

I just found out about this now, but can send an M.O. out to you immediately upon receiving your mailing info.

These are massively cool, would be a great compromise between my desire for KISS and retro, yet not getting stuck with a hard-to-resell fixed A1 upper.

Sending PM as well.

Matthew,

You are absolutely right. This product gives you retro along with the ability to use a flattop when desired. It really is the best thing going IMHO.

Btw, I sent you a pm

I sent everyone a pm if I haven't received payment yet. Make sure they're postmarked on or before the 20th, and keep watching the 1st post as I will update when I receive payments.

Reminder to all: payment must be IN THE MAIL by TOMORROW so it will have the Feb 20 postmark. PLEASE make sure that you get your payment (check or money order is fine) in the mail by tomorrow so we can get this GB done asap.

Thanks for your cooperation.

GROUP BUY IS NOW CLOSED. If your payment is in the mail, you are in. If you have not sent payment, you're out. The postmark date was today (2/20). Thanks everyone who is participating. Checks will be cashed all at once when I have received all the payments together. When they clear, a large check will go out to CNC.


MODS: Please do NOT lock this thread as it is still being used for info. Thanks!

a1rsiteassy A1 rear sight assembly 12.95
