Let's see what you guys have done with carry handle builds. Anything goes as long as it's got a carry handle. A1, C7, A2, detachable, even a cut down (thanks for reminding me, @Coldblue !). Pistol, firearm, SBR, carbine, rifle.
Mine has gone through many iterations, but I think this one was my favorite. Started love as an Operation Gothic Serpent, then I got "carried" away with it

I love the look, but boy am I glad the guy who sold me my first AR steered me toward a flattop / optic ready gun. I still bought a detachable handle, but wouldn't want to be stuck with that full time - my preference.
Good looking guns! |

But still, carry handles are awesome. I thought they only came in collection size with spare seeds to grow your own Off to a great start, dudes! Some nice sticks in here! It's good to see all of the different ways to utilize these things. To think I broke mine down and damn near sold it. Wasn't until the first buyer didn't follow through that I realized it may be a mistake. I think I'll resurrect it soon after I send the barrel to get chopped from 14.5 to 13.7 or 12.5. Can't decide if I want to use my B.E. Meyers 249F or AEM5 setup. What do y'all think? |

@CMCctx this is what I did. Used low profile .625 gas block, rivet and triangle endcap.

I just used a button head screw and a nut through a lowpro gasblock. You have to use a gasblock with a gas tube hole all the way through

Once the parts finally get here, the M&P15-22 I recently got will go from this.......
 ..to looking like this.  I also found an Ultralux Sporter retro scope on Ebay with see through end caps I bought on a whim today to try out on it once it's all together.

A properly set-up carry handle upper is wonderfully effective making hits on target, light, simple and just as you say... "Good looking guns!"... An A1 with a short pencil (standard) profile barrel wearing just a small light and a well made sling is of the best looking and most useful of all IMO... |

SSK Carry handle conversion on an SP1 upper. It was made especially to use an Ultradot RDS. Lower third co-witness. Before flattops and Aimpoints became ubiquitous.
In the '90s I showed up with it at a MG shoot and got a lot of WTFs until they tried it.  Attached FileUnfortunately I can't find pics of my son's DOE clone. |
