 I have a question to any...I have a Bushmaster XM15-E2S  Flat top and have added the carry handle rear sight assembly...also added the .040 taller sight from Bushmaster but the rifle still shoots very high...question: was there different front sight A frames or does the China mfg carry handles not work with this rifle...I have tried the UTG version 6 MNT-950 and some other China made carry handle with no luck at all..any help would be great..

get a good quality forged american made carry handle.The equipment exchange here has them and probably the same price or slightly more than what the cheap pot metal handle cost.Use the normal front post as that could be the problem as well.First step get a known quality handle.

You need a Bushmaster carry handle.  Now let me back up a bit... Are you trying to zero at 25Y or 50Y?  

The BM front sight is shorter then a mil-spec one (Colt, LMT,BCM). The mil-spec has a small "F" on the left side of the a-frame. The Chi-com knock off may be a copy of the Colt carry handle which is different then a BM handle as it is set-up to work with the mil-spec front. You can't mix the two.

Carry handles come 2 ways milspec or higher machined rear shlf or commercial with a lower machined shelf you can see by how far the rear site sits behind the handle when bottomed out.For your rifle you need a commercial handle and standard front post.

Remember that the front sight is for elevation (up/down) and the rear is windage (left/right).  Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Yup  that is correct..the front sight post had to be .355 above the front sight base for the rifle to zero.

The commercial height carry handle found on non-spec guns like your Bushmaster. If you get a handle made by BM it will work on a BM gun without issue.
