| Is there any advantages an A2 upper has over an A3 upper if any?? |
| The A2 upper is more functional as a carry handle. The detachable carry handle on the A3 upper is very difficult to use because the opening is not large enough to put your fingers/hand through comfortabily. I have an A3 upper on my stag right now and I like it, however I have been desiring a A2 upper 20" rifle, b/c I think it looks cooler but thats just me. |

I'll play devil's advocate here. An A2 is going to work better if you want iron sights. It's going to be more secure. You don't have to worry about iron sights working loose or coming off. It's also probably going to give you more adjustment for range than the BUIS I've seen.
An A3 is going to be better if you want optics & see the iron as a backup. You're the one who has to decide if you want an AR w/ iron sights, an optically sighted AR, or an AR w/ optics & BUIS. An A3 is better for the last two roles, but an A2 is better for the first. |
