Forgive me, I'm new to AR15s and to this board - so I might be a little ignorant on the subject of sights. I'm sure my questions have been addressed before, but: Is it possible to mount an EoTech on a carry handle? (directly on top of the carry handle, as opposed to the rail extender that makes it hang over the forearm) And also, if it's mounted on a flat-top, doesn't the front apeture get in the way when you're looking through the EoTech? |

Hello and welcome to the board. You can mount an EOTech on the top of your carry handle. A good mount is the ARMS #2. The problem with that it is that you cannot co-witness you irons. There are other issues with it as well. You are better off with a Gooseneck rail.... C4 [url]www.gandrtactical.com[/url] |
| Hi rcoers and welcome! Like C4 said, the EOTech can go on the carry handle, but does require a mount like the ARMS #2. The #2 sits in the carry handle and has a rail on top of it that will accept the EOTech. EOTech's are great for mounting directly to the flattop upper. You can look through the EOTech and the center 1 MOA dot will be right about the top of the front sight post. You would also want some type of rear iron sights, either a fixed rear or a flip-up type. |

Quoted: Thanks, Eric and C4. Eric, why is there a need for a rear iron sight? Is this for back-up to the EoTech, or is it used in conjuction w/ the EoTech? Thanks again for your help! The reason for a backup sight is....... batteries do die. And it's Murphy's law. Greg |
