I have a stripped Colt A2 upper, and a Colt 14.5 F marked front sight base. So if i take the A2 rear sight from a detachable carry handle and install it on a my fixed A2 upper, it should
be the equivalant of using a standard flat top upper with the detachable carry handle with the F marked front sight? Is this even possible to do?

You should have no problem sighting in your set up as it is.  At worse, you'll have to crank down the front sight post a bit because the A tower is a tad taller than the non-F marked ones.  BTW, swapping rear sight assemblies will NOT solve your problem.

There is no A2 rear sight on the detachable handles.

The protective sight basket is totally different dimensionally.

Get a real A2 rear sight assembly.
