| I see these things prices from $15-150... What's a decent sub-$100 carry handle sight for the range and Jack rabbits? $40-$80 range preffered |
|
I have one that's pretty OK and which I don't use anymore. The A2 sight works flawlessly (do a box test and you'll see it returns to zero very well, indeed.)
I moved on to a RDS and BUIS. But I regretted giving up the handle, so, I put another on the rifle and wouldn't be without one (http://i1378.photobucket.com/albums/ah103/longfisher/Carbine%20New%20Sights%20Whole%20Rifle%20Shot_zpsqbi0q4i6.jpg). You can have it for nothing and I'll even pay the postage if you send me your address. There's nothing wrong with it at all. I just don't have use for it anymore and would like to see it not end up and the bottom of a cardboard box. If you don't like it throw it away or sell it on Craig's List. Let me know. Best, David |

Best, David David that is quite the offer! Thank you so much! I'll be paying it forward I promise! IM Sent |

Get on the Arfcom EE here you see em all the time for $50 for ones that came off of Colts. Long story short, retail prices they are expensive for the decent ones and the 10-25 UTG ones and other such chinese ones are POS. The issue there is, I wouldn't know a cheap crap one from a COLT, someone could say it's a colt and it could be NCStar for all I know. RRA and PSA have logos so those are easier but I dont see alot of those for sale |

Thread about forge markings |
If you are still looking OP check out Del-Ton. I have one and it is good to go. They have them on their site now for $85.00. PSA has them for $79.99, I have one of theirs too and they are also good to go  . I hope this helps. FWIW I have no connection to the aforementioned companies I just use some of their kit.

And of course make sure to check the forge marks and study them. I just buy the Colt handles if I ever need one (easy to remember square forge mark) |

Internet High-five David/Longfisher, you're rad! Looks like OP found one.
I happened to see these at McKay, I don't know if this is a good deal or not, but they should be legit and not some funky make as they're used military.. $45. http://www.mckay-ent.com/parts/m16a4-carry-handle-s.html or, they have them with more wear for $10 less.. http://www.mckay-ent.com/parts/m16a4-carry-handle.html |

Thanks for the help gentlemen I'm still in the market at this point (haven't heard back from Longfisher) I will most likely end up going with a Colt 6920 takeoff or a PSA since the rifle is a PSA anyway. I guess in the end it really shouldn't matter but I figured there HAS to be some reason for the huge price variations.
Again, thank you all for the input. Longfisher/Dave: If you changed your mind I totally understand, just let me know either way so I can find one if need be. |
