Greetings,
    I acquired an ACOG TA01.  Is there a difference in mounts, as the mount that it comes with appears to be made to fit inside the carry handles.  What I have found is that this mount only fits in about a third of the carry handles that we have, otherwise it is too wide by maybe a few hundreth's of an inch.  Is there another mount, option, or is it that carry handles vary in their manufacturing process.

CY6,

have pics?



the acogs have an integrated carry handle mount. all you do is lay it in the channel of the carry handle and then put the screw through the bottom of it with the special washer/spacer.

The thickness of the side rails on carry handles varies a LOT by manufacturer. Depending upon how fond you are of each upper in question, this is nothing that can't be cured with a dremel.

Before somebody hops in here shrieking about marring the finish: who cares? If you use your rifle for fighting, it's going to suffer some cosmetic degeneration. Get used to it.

When I first put my TA31a into the carry handle of my Colt I had to use quite a bit of pressure to get it to slide in.  Its a tight fit.
