I'm about to get a TacSol upper in trade, and was kicking around the idea of converting it to an A2 upper. Would this be a direct drop-in? Does it need modified? Should I just buy a carry handle and keep the A3 (since this is a beater/practice/plinker, I don't ever see myself adding optics)?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Simple answer, Buy a carry handle and don't disassemble the Tac Sol,
It will be way cheaper and simpler. It's cooler in my mind to have the option
of carry handle or not. I really like the ones I have done this way..

My vote is to add a carry handle also,  I started out with the LW and smooth free float forearm.  I have changed it some from original.  It is great, 2 thumb screws and I can have red dot or scope,    This is my funnest rifle I own.

Thanks,  I really like how the rifle turned out, I guess some of my wife's photography talent has rubbed off on me.   Here is one she took of the rifle and myself.   Should of taken the picture after I had sprayed the dandelions.



Sorry OP for changing direction of the thread,  Just showing off a removable carry handle for you.

The Tac Sol upper is standard AR parts as far as mounting the barrel, etc. Its no issue to change the receiver, do it just as you would any other AR. I put my Tac Sol barrel on a billet lower and upper I had...I need to post a pic of that...and then used my Tac Sol receiver for a 9mm build on a Cav Arms lower.
