Have you also considered the Armson OEG as an option?
That's the original red-dot combat sight for the AR, and many versions are designed specifically to mount onto an AR carrying handle. No batteries, used fiber-optic by day and tritium by night. There are a couple websites (Optic Zone) that sell them for $145 or so, with the AR-mount being integral. ARF member uxb and others have done writeups on the Armson OEG on this forum. Just another possibility -MV |

wonder what date this was taken? 1) HSLD operator who prefers the traditional 'old-school" set up, with a touch of revolutionary new technology (for its time) or 2) The Mk18 has yet to be intoduced sorry for the temp hijack |

Thanks, but I already have the Aimpoint. Just want to see if it is a "viable" option for this carbine. |

Other than sticking ON TOP of the carryhandle (and having to deal with the large HOB). You could use a goodneck type mount (like the Aimpoint version or the ARMS #39). This would mount the Aimpoint over the handguards and give a much better trajecotry.
 Or you could go with a rail system (preferably free-floated) and mount the optic to the rails:

If you are going to go that route [handle mounting] be sure that you pick up a CAR snap-on cheek piece for correct stock weld. They are dirt cheap, fit very snug and consistantly in place. Centerfire has them for about $13, and CTD for $20. Sometimes I think that my Commando with the cheek weld piece on the Generation 3 stock [pre-M4], A2 upper, w/ Red Dot handle mounted, and YHM rail system is the coolest most "bad" looking of all my ARs. Yes, it is a hybred mongrel, but it looks "bad." On the other hand, my flat-top A3 16" Med-HBAR with full rifle length YHM Free Float rail system plus K-grip and ACOG looks cool too.

That is a early as in circa 1986 XM4 Colt Model 720 with the old .625" barrel journal. The optic/mount date from 1996 or so? Odd combo. |

I know! Looking at stickman's photos it almost feels like you can just grab the gun out of the screen and see how it handles. |
