Retro A2 upper carry handle mount

[ir0nclash86]

What brands do you guys recommend for an A2 Carry handle mount? I'm building a black hawk down clone and wanted to buy the ARMS #2 mount but theyre out of stock with no known ETA. I see a bunch of other brands that cost like $10 but I don't know if I'd trust a $10 mount like Monstrum or barska. Is there anything that's quality that looks the same as the ARMS #2 mount?

i used the tapco branded one. its plastic but held up very well. kept zero. it has a cage number too if that makes a difference.

I was hoping Brownells also carried the regular one but they only seem to have the extended.

The A.R.M.S is the one you want. The only problem is trying to find one in stock/for sale

If you are looking for a handle/sight for your flat top upper, there was a time a couple of years back where you could get Cardinal something or other branded carry handle/sights for $100 used. I believe those were the ones made for Colt.

im glad i started with an a2 25 years ago.Then just put together a 10.5 pistol ar recently and have a third lower i assembled as a pistol first for legal reasons but gonna end up building either an a1 or an xm177 clone.

This is a great copy complete with Weaver slots not picatinny and STANAG mounts.
Great placeholder while you and everyone else hunt down an ARMS original.
Yes I use it and fits good in my Colt and FN A1 and A2.

The retro heads have really driven up the prices on originals.
