Although I am getting a LT mount for the rail, when I tried to put my new ACOG in the carry handle it won't fit. It seems like the carry handle is not wide enough, by like a millimeter, that the ACOG just won't fit without it being forced in. That would probably do more damage to the finish of both the weapon and the base of the acog.
Just wanted to see if anyone else had this issue or possible solution?

Hi jackal2001,
I have heard about it happening in a removable carry handle.

I just wanted to try it out and see how high it would be. I was going to try and put some oil on it so it might slip in easier, but I may not be able to remove it.
Oh well.
Thanks

FWIW, I had an older A2 style Bushmaster issued to me with my old agency. I had a TA01 on it and I remember having to push one end of it into the CH and kind of force the other end down. It left a small mark on the CH but not on the ACOG.

My DPMS CH was tight for mine as well. A little oil and elbow grease and she was good to go. I wouldn't worry too much about the finish, you're not gonna see it anyway. And you're NOT going to break the ACOG by being forcefull....
