Very nice. These are just my style. I’m especially fond of the original style M-4 with a2 sights. I have one just like it and they are so good. |

I've read nothing about them having a bad reputation. Sometimes they take awhile to get your order filled but customer service is pretty good. |

Here's my carry handle rigs along with one that is in progress towards being a carry handle Dissy. Two are detachable carry handles, but I have 3 A2 uppers on order so that I can dump the detachable handles. The one with the A2 upper is a 7.62x39 for which I have an etched dust cover on order. You might get the impression I like Dissy's and I like to keep them simple. Sorry, not much of a photographer...didn't even get my feet in the pic!

Everyone should have an AR with a carry handle... This one feels just right. Spike's 14.5 CHF P/W Dynacomp Brake Bushmaster Carry Handle BCM Mid Length PKMR Spike's Florida HTF Lower ST-T2 Buffer CMMG Parts Kit (or maybe that's the Aero kit, can't remember) ALG Trigger Magpul this and that...

Del-Ton upper on PSA lower. The rubber butt pad is there because a petite lady friend wanted to shoot it and was a little afraid of the recoil. Now she has a couple of AR's of her own, including a Colt 6920 (I'm so proud of her).  Attached File |

Although I just ordered an Impact Weapons scout light mount for the handguard. But I'm going to leave it like that for the foreseeable future! |

I'm putting mine back together and I have a repro gangster grip for it but I kind of want to modify an A2 for it.

I'm still playing with it, even with loctite it will still twist around a little |

I might cut and file some channels to mate up to the pic slots on my RIS and attach it to one of the 1/4-20 holes |

That actually sounds cool AF, if that's what you're talking about. If it's just replacing the sight assembly for a pic rail that's probably more trouble than it's worth. You'll lose iron sights capability when you could just run a rail on the handle and keep both. But again, milling out that area for RDS - especially one with a rear sight built in or attachable like Leupold's - that would be belle of the ball. |

I like the idea, but this is available and the dot being higher up is more comfortable imo. Now i think there should be more direct mount options for specific red dots yes.  2021-02-07_11-59-22 by brandon hobock, on Flickr" />

Especially in terms of modifying handguards to make them more functional. Case in point: covers over quadrails. |
