This is my AR. Still a work in progress, but money is tight these days. Still will take down a praire dog at about 400 yards quite nicely. Also pictured is my beautiful FiveseveN. This is my first time to post, so I hope the pictures work.

Very nice, but 1 question....why do you have the ACOG mounted on the removable carry handle ???

edited to add...how about the specs on the rifle ?

I have it on the carry handle because for one I am a fan of the way it looks. Two, I pefer it being higher. And lastly, it just works. I'm only 22 and its my first AR. At least its better than the one I had stolen from my apartment before we moved to a house. It had a BSA red-dot mounted on the removable carry handle.

Because it gives him usable iron sights as a backup?  ( I saw someone do that with a compact ACOG and thought that was kind of a neat idea).

Thats why I have Trijicon Tritium Iron sights on there.

looks great!

if the ACOG works for you, go for it!

I have a Tactical sling, just don't keep it on while it stays in the safe. You can see the Q/D sling mount on the left side of the handgaurd. I'm hoping to get a weapon light for Christmas.

Very nice. I would set it up the same way. I like to use irons.

Nice looker!

How does that ACOG work for you on the carry handle?  I've been considering that option (I have an A2 model), and doesn't seem like it'd be too high.

Most people seem to like to have the rifle with the toe of the buttstock on their collar bone to keep their head verticle while using optics on a flattop, I figured I could use the same heads-up geometry, but have the rifle properly mounted by mounting on a carry handle.

I love it on the handle. The TA01 ACOG is designed to fit in the trough of the handle and still allow for Iron sights.
