I want to put one of these Red dot Scopes on my ar15.  I have the a1 upper it has the raised handle part.  What do i need to put this on.  Im new to the AR world but i want to put one of these red dot scopes on it.

Any suggestions.  I can get the scope for 19.99 but what mounts do i need?

I'd say just get a $15 TAPCO carry handle mount.

The proper mounts that will put the Sight in front of the handle (where it works better) start at 2x the price of your optic - and the decent mounts start at 5x the cost of your sight.

So put the optic on top of the carry handle, get used to a chin weld, large amounts of variance from the point of aim, and occasional wandering zero.

Or you could keep practicing with your irons and save up your pennies for a decent optic & mount...
