A2 carry handle

[RossRinSD]

Hey everybody,

Where is the cheapest place to pick up a removable A2 carry handle?

Anybody have one they want to sell?

TIA
Ross

There's a lotta junk and mismatched parts out there.

You're probably best off getting a carry handle from the co that made/assembled your upper.

You can't always mix & match carry handles - you really don't wanna mix Colt & Bushmaster carry handles, for example as their front sight bases differ in height on flattops. There's 0.040" difference in height.

If your upper has an "F"-marked front sight/gas block you should get a Colt-compatible carry handle. CMMG & others like LMT carry such carry handles, besides Colt.

If you have an upper from a bottom feeder vendor like Model1 or M&A, gawd only knows what you've got.
