Hi all-

I just pieced together my first AR15 during this craze and I had a question. I got a Rock River Arms upper here, it’s an Elite CAR UTE2.
Elite CAR UTE2

It was the only one left at the gun store, and I was wondering what my options are with the optics/sights for this. It looks like the rear sight is permanently mounted on there, and is too high for an aimpoint/red dot scope.
Can I put an A3 carrying handle on it? What about an aimpoint/red dot scope? Recommendations?

Sorry if I posted to the wrong section, but I thought it would be best to put this under the optics/sights section.
I have a pic I would love to post, but I dont see how to upload it to here.

Thanks!

Yes you can still mount something like an Aimpoint or EoTech on it.  I would suggest using a mount that put the rear sight in the bottom 1/3 like the LaRue 139 for aimpoint M2 or M3 sights.  

Mounting a magnified scope will be very difficult.  If you happen to want a magnified optic, you might have to find a flat top upper receiver to replace your upper receiver.
