Flat top or A3, hmmm, either one should do it
 And there are plenty of manufacturers that have the flatop A3 16" w/ a telescoping stock... COLT, Bushmaster, Rock River Arms, Armalite and many others... Off the top of my head, a COLT 6721 is real nice and fits your description... Its a bit pricey, but the quality is all there... |

if you arent confused yourself, you are confusing us...
An A3 *is* a flat top. And almost every rifle with a 16" barrel comes from the factory with a adjustable stock. If you want an ACOG, get the flat top. |

Welcome to the boards.
 First, among civvy manufacturers an A3 is a flat-top, so assume you are trying to decide behind a fixed carry handle A2 or a flat-top A3/A4. As a general rule, the flat-top is the better option. The compact ACOGs are fine on carry handles but if you are looking at a fullsize ACOG such a TA11 or TA31 then you'll probably find that it is too high when mounted on a carry handle. As for finding a 16" flat-top with collapsing stock, you must be shopping in all the wrong places because they are literally everywhere. It's probably the single most popular configuration of AR being sold today. |
