I don't think PSA offers a PA10 carry handle.  Has anyone put a detachable carry handle on their PA10?  I see that Armalite and DMS have detachable carry handle options.

I use an AR15 handle, but it is too short. I set it rearward.

Unwilling to blow $150 for an AR10 handle.

Isn't AR 10 taller than AR15 and AR15 handle on AR10 would be too high?

I don't know so I'm trying to find out options.  I'm hoping that a Armalite or DPMS will fit the PSA.

Just an update to my original post. The Armalite EA5050 carry handle does NOT fit the PSA Gen2 uppers.

DPMS LR308 carry handles are the correct height, but over hand the front of the receiver 1/8" doesn't look to bad, It's a real shame PSA couldn't of put the rail slots in the correct place as per Armalite, KAC or DPMS upper, but they just like to be different (difficult).

I checked mine again at range today, obviously not scientific. (on Gen1 PA10 18" nitride)

I have my AR15 USGI handle down at the lowest setting, 300 and I'm hitting point of aim at 100 yards. So I'd assume you'd have enough range in the front sight to set it to 300 easily or whatever you wished.
fwiw

I threw a cheap rear sight for a 223 gun on mine and had exactly the same result.
I would  like to get a native (PSA) carry handle some day.
ETA: 18" Gen 2.

A native PA10 would be nice. A PSA AR15 would probably look almost as silly as my USGI lol

Wish I'd found this thread before buying the Armalite handle I just got. Looking at the handle(upper is due in tomorrow) it looks like the problem is in the lug right behind the front cross bolt-maybe grinding that lug down will make it fit?

ETA-if someone could measure the slots in their upper I'd appreciate it. If I grind the lug off it looks like I need cross slots 6.25" apart to be able to use the handle I have.

Upper just came in, the Armalite handle can be made to work. The lug behind the front crossbolt needs to be ground/milled off, and another notch cut in the rail on the upper. The above mentioned DPMS handle will fit as-is, but if you can only find the Armalite handle in stock it's an option if willing to do a bit of modification.
