You may be able to find one here on the equipment exchange fro less than that.
BUT, I would advise against it, it is neither a carry handle nor is it tactical. I personally would not mount a scope on it. It is made specifically for an Aimpoint, but even if you are going to use an Aimpoint there are much better mounting options in my opinion. If I were you I would get a flat top upper and get an ARMS #40 flip up rear sight, and then when you decide which optic to get, get the proper mount, unless this is just going to be a scoped gun, then forget the rear sight all together. What configuration of AR are you looking at? |

I think this might be what you are looking for.

I am looking at the RRA A4 flattop upper, with possible SS 16" barrel or Chrome Moly, prefer mid-length handguards or possibly car free float, and more than likely standard RRA lower or other forged lower. Think I'm going to pass on the 2-stage trigger. This is what I am considering.
I really want iron sites right now, but the A4 gives me many possible options for the future. That is really the only reason why I'm looking at that one. Still trying to decide overall. |

Is the rail on the tactical carry handle not very strong? |

The rail is plenty strong, but the ONLY optic it works with properly is the AimPoint (which is a great optic), and the only ring that works properly is the cheapie aluminum ring, which is nearly worthless IMO. And, it forces you to mount the AimPoint much too far to the rear. AimPoints and other non-magnified "dot"-type optics were really designed to be mounted forward over the handguards, and that's how they work best.
ARMS just released a new version of their #22M68 mount that cantilevers the AimPoint out over the handguards. That, combined with an ARMS #40 back-up iron sight gives you the perfect setup with a lot less weight and a lot more flexibility. -Troy |

Anyone got a pic or link to a pic which shows the difference between that tactical A2 carry handle and the normal A3 removable handle I have on my Bushie?

The real question, IMO, is not where to get the tactical carry handle. but why get the tactical carry handle. It does nothing very well and creates many obsticles for the addition of optics.

I may agree with you. I'm hearing that the rails aren't very good but for aimpoint. Maybe I should just go with the A2 or get regular carry handle for A4 upper
