I have a removable carry handle..it has an A on the left side by the sight.  It is pretty smooth..no real sharp edges...it came off a Colt...not sure if it is a Colt...does the A mean anything?  I am wanting to know what brand it is...thanks

medcop

e-mail me or post here....a link to a web page with proof marks would also help..thanks again!

If it looks like this it's a Colt

Same here, my Colt det. handle has the same "A" but no 9...
I am guessing here, but maybe it's meant for the 9mm AR version.
Only thing I can come up with.

Some of the Colts used Bushmaster uppers and AA is an indication it's a Bushmaster. It's all stated on the link I posted above.

LOL!  So much for the superiority complex displayed by some of the Colt snobs!
