I was stopped by a gun shop today and found a Handle/rear sight hanging on a hook.  The dealer said someone ordered it along time ago and never picked it up.  He said he would get rid of it for $40 (out the door).  I was just wondering if someone knows if I got a good deal or not.  It seems very sturdy and the clicks are solid.  The only marking I see is to the right of the vertical adjustment knob on the first two pictures below. Can anyone identify it??  (sorry for the poor photo quality)  All I need now is a folding front sight

That looks exactly like the handle that came on a Bushmaster that I bought about five or six years ago.  So I think Bushmaster answers your question.  BUT I am not sure if that is what the handles they are currently selling look like. I haven't purchased a BM in a while.

And of course, other companies probably sell them also.  But the BM is the only current rifle of mine that has one with that symbol.

Is it a good one?  Is it worth $40?

Thanks!

Lots of manufacturers use Cardinal Forge forgings.

It's not marked CAA or UTG, so yeah.  Carry handles don't have great resale value, and one from the manufacturer could be at or above $100.

yea...they are all pretty much the same since they are made by only a few makers.
