[ARCHIVED THREAD] - detachable carrying handle

Posted: 8/30/2005 3:41:15 AM EDT

are their two types of handles one for the 14.5 inch and one for the 20 inch or are they one handle fits most , i want to get one for my a4 clone so i can use it once in a while to shoot matches

NO, one DCH will fit either as the flat-top dimensions/specifications are the same for any AR15/M16.

There is however a Tactical DCH made by Rock River Arms which I suggest ya avoid and they do make DCHs for AR10s made by Armalite, DPMS and Bushmaster, (which won't work on the AR15/M16 rifles).

Just out of curiousity, why avoid?

There is a height difference between commercial carry handles and Colt Carry handles, I believe.

Most have found the RRA version to be less than ideal. Mounting of an Aimpoint requires the "X" mount in order to co-witness atop the "tactical DCH" and lack of the typical carry handle mounting of scopes and re-dots to the "missing" hole are among the few drawbacks to this item.

hey i was curious about the elevation markings in meters matching upsay an m4 vs an m16a4 that is all, i allready have a different front sight post to compensate just was curious if the rear sight was different i know on the detachable carrying handle the elevation is now 1/2 minute instead of a full minute like the a2

IIRC, the dial for the carbean is marked 3-600 meters and the 20" is 3-800 meters.

Prolly a difference in the threads too.

I could be wrong, have been before, will be again.

I think that they are both 600 meter sights.
But I am an A2 guy, so I too may be mistaken.
