Is there any reason why I would not be able to mount an Aimpoint on the top of an A3 carry handle, without worry about it loosing Zero, due to the handle itself coming loose, or taking the handle on/off?  (im asking for alot out of it aint I...lol)

Kind of late, as it is sitting in wait for me, but at the time thought a flattop with the attachable handle may work out better.

Thanks,

Why wouldent you just mount the aimpoint on the top of your upper. Thats the point in having a flat top.

I want to see if I can mount it, without issue, on the carry handle.

I would suggest you try it out and let us know.
I wouldn't see a problem with it as long as you kept the carry handle screws real tight.

If you really want to mount an Aimpoint on the carry handle then get the A.R.M.S. #39A2.

That link you posted says it will not mount on a A3 carry handle.

I don't see why you can't if that's what you want. People do it all the time. The only disadvantage is that you get the scope up so high. You really want to try and keep your scope as low to the barrel as possible. That is my thoughts on the situation, as I thought of doing the same thing you are asking. I love scopes, but want the iron sights as a back up.

From what I am reading, the question is that of re-zero. With it on the detachable carry handle there are now two things that have to nail up exactly the same way each time.

While I don’t have an aimpoint, I do have a Trijicon Reflex on my flattop with the A.R.M.S system, with the backup iron, and have to say that I love it. Flawless re-zero.

I also have the A.R.M.S mount for my rem 700 sniper that holds a big old Night Force scope on it. People at the range don’t believe that that will re-zero till I conduct a little demo and end up with the “Hmmm, Impressive!” comments.

I concur, keep it off the handle if you have a choice, and you cant loose with the A.R.M.S system.

Backup Iron sights is exactly what I want, and I will have to look into the ARMs system.

Thank you all.....once again
