I recently picked up an AR6450. This thing is awesome!
At the time, I thought about getting a RRA because I prefer the flat top, but decided I couldn't be making a bad choice by going with the Colt, based on reputation, and the price I paid.
Being new to Colt, and the A1 style raises a few questions.
I'm thinking about going with an Aimpoint, or Eotech possibly at some point. I'm not real crazy about mounting an optic on top of the carry handle, so I guess I have to look at a forward mount off the front of the carry handle, prefferably one that co-witnesses.
Is there a forward carry handle mount you guys recommend?
Does anyone make a mount that attaches to the carry handle, and also locks onto the handguard rails?
Speaking of handguards, I know the Colt has a unique handguard cap, which brings me to my next question. I'm thinking about getting the MI railed hanguards (do not want to free float). I notice that you have to order for Colt models specifically.
Is it that way for ALL the hanguards out there?
For instance if I ordered a set of M4 (R4?)hanguards from RRA, would they fit my Colt?
Thanks in advance for the help.
