Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Detachable carrying handles are supposed to be forged or cast?
Posted: 9/1/2005 6:22:43 PM EDT
Buying my 1st one and not sure what should I expect. Leapers $39 handle any good, function wise. They now have a detachable rear sight, anyone has experience? Thanks.

Carry handles should be forged.

I'd save a few more pennies and get a new takeoff carry handle in the EE for around $75.

You wouldn't have to worry about quality if it came off a Colt, Bushmaster, RRA, Armalite, etc.

Leapers usually means Chinese. It might work, but it'll probably smell of spraypaint and cast aluminum.
