Carry handle question.

[fusionstar]

I ordered a bushmaster 1/2, moa carry handle but how do I know its really half moa? Its a 6/3 z marked. 25 clicks for a full elevation turn. It also has a square,mark on the body. Wont get my upper til friday so I cant really shoot it.

6/3 means it is for a 14.5" or 16" carbine the rifle 20" handles are marked 8/3. The square is a forging mark from the company who made the blank it was machined from as far as the number of clicks up and down I think that is the same on all of them it is the number of clicks left to right that should be different.

Ah, this is going on a 20" a2 upper.

It is not a big deal it just means the range adjustments will be off a little.

A2 upper receiver sight assembly will not fit in a detachable carry handle.

All detachable carry handles are marked 6/3...unless the A3 receiver has been spot faced to accommodate the extra height of the A2 assembly and the owner of the detachable handle has swapped parts.

Number of clicks should be the same. Click values is what is different, as the A2 sight has coarser adjustments...this is excluding national match versions, or course.
