It will work but it does sit kind of high.

It will be pretty high.

Can you afford a new A3 upper??

This is your best bet with the A2 or A1 models:

Aimpoint is mounted in an ARMs #22M68 and it's attached to an ARMs #39A2 gooseneck, this places the Aimpoint at the correct height.

Most find the carry handle mounted Aimpoints too high for a decent cheek-weld, as mentioned above.

Swap the A2 for A3 flattop.
Your options will be much better and Life will be much simpler.

By mounting your Aimpoint on the Carry handle you aren't co-witnessing it. If that doesn't matter to you then I would suggest going with the ARMS #16A. It is well made and reasonable priced...
