Hi,
Right now, I only have one ar-15(got it about a year ago). It was a impulse buy but i am happy with my purchse and its a great rifle no problems and accurate. So far i have a light and a verticle grip on a standard rail, (oh the gun is a m4-gery). YHM FH, i got some mags and ammo so im good on that. I want a optic, rail, good sling, magpul MIAD grip and a CTR. My problem is since this was a impulse buy, i got a fixed carry handle. I like it but for what i want a flat top is better. I eventally plan on swapping out the fixed carry handle for a flat top but for now i really want a optic. I might go aimpoint or EoTech, maybe even the bushnell holo sight. So for my temperary fix to my problem that I think might work is to get the optic i want, then get the rail i want. Then i put the optic on the rail and i can use irons and still use the optic, or at least this is what i am hoping. I dont like carry handle mounted optics espacially if it is a EoTech (looks funny). Does anybody know if my idea will work or if they can try it for me if they have the parts? If i am not clear in this post please ask me to explain it more. Sorry for bad grammer/punctiation i am on my cell phone |

Sorry for bad grammar/punctuation I am on my cell phone Can't speak to an Aimpoint, and It all depends on which Eotech you want,I have a 557 with a detachable handle (which I never use) and as I sit here lining it up, It appears to work on mine, but I can't guaranty it'll work on an a2 upper, I also know that some Eotechs are smaller and may sit lower on the rail. . For about $100 you can get a good stripped flattop upper, I'd recommend just jumping in and buying one before you spend the money on the optic. It'll solve a lot of problems and you won't have to compromise now and buy stuff twice. Just my .02! |

But i plan on buying the optic and rail that i want when i do get the flat top. I figured i would give it a try and if it doesnt work ill just wait to get my flat top. Thank you very much for trying it for me. |
