I want to put this
 on to this  Is it possible? And how? This little 16" rig is kind of cumbersome, and I want a carry handle that can work with the optics mounted. I am currently putting together a 24" Bull barreled rifle that will surely be heavier than this one. I'm open to suggestions. |

Some kind of mount that attaches to the picatinny rail section in front of the forward scope mount. Instead of a verticle orientation it would extent to the left side and have a stud to mount your handle to.
I'm not aware of anyone who sells such an item though. Don in Ohio |

That's kind of like the set up I was thinking about. Almost like a FAL's mounting of this handle. Maybe something kind of loose that can fall to the side when the weapon is in use, and be grabbed up in a second to pick it up and move. Where's Mark LaRue and his team of machinists when you need him?

This might be a possibility.

But, but......everyone on ARFCOM says carry handles are not for carrying!

I like QUIB's idea, think it may work. NOT just sucking up because he is a new mod.

 or  or  Seriously though I think you have 2 challenges. #1 Find a way to mount #2 Have that way line up with a spot that balances reasonably well |

Have you ever tried to get your fingers through a detachable carrying handle on the M-4's? You got to be little wirey fella to accomplish this.
I think the rail mounted carrying handle is a very marketable idea. It might be as big as the M4 feed ramp cuts. I'm waiting for it. h.gif |

the reason I want to do this is so I can leave the optics mounted when I move it.
Quib's idea with those parts is a good one, with one exception. When the handle is up, it would be perpendicular to the rifle, instead of parallel. |

Yea, your right. Maybe you could heat up, then twist the eyelet? I don’t know, it was just a quick throwing together of parts. I’m sure something could be thought up with enough effort. |

I saw the exact thing I need attached to a Barrett M82. Now if I can just find one separated from the rifle. So I can buy it.

Another alternative:
http://www.justissoil.com/Pics/YHM-2.JPG Remove the flashlight holder and just use the base. Who knows, you might even be able to talk YHM into just selling you the base. DSA lists 2 different FAL carry handles, $15 for either. |
