Hi,
Right now, I only have one ar-15(got it about a year ago). It was a impulse buy but i am happy with my purchse and its a great rifle no problems and accurate. So far i have a light and a verticle grip on a standard rail, (oh the gun is a m4-gery). YHM FH, i got some mags and ammo so im good on that. I want a optic, rail, good sling, magpul MIAD grip and a CTR.
My problem is since this was a impulse buy, i got a fixed carry handle. I like it but for what i want a flat top is better. I eventally plan on swapping out the fixed carry handle for a flat top but for now i really want a optic. I might go aimpoint or EoTech, maybe even the bushnell holo sight. So for my temperary fix to my problem that I think might work is to get the optic i want, then get the rail i want. Then i put the optic on the rail and i can use irons and still use the optic, or at least this is what i am hoping. I dont like carry handle mounted optics espacially if it is a EoTech (looks funny).
Does anybody know if my idea will work or if they can try it for me if they have the parts? If i am not clear in this post please ask me to explain it more.
Sorry for bad grammer/punctiation i am on my cell phone
