Are Anchor Harvey carry handles any good? http://www.ebay.com/itm/261601808946?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
If not please feel free to give suggestions, thanks.

A-H are one of the major forging producers for a lot of brands. A second question is who machined and branded the handle?  Probably no stampings on the handle so you probably will not be able to tell. But A-H is a good forging company.

Yea Anchor Harvey forgings are great, but that's not who milled it out, they simply make the blanks

I like the look and I'm good with the iron sights, all we used in the military. It's not going to be a duty rifle, just something for taking out to the country and having fun with.

Carry handles arrived. Elevation and windage knobs work fine. They are a bit rough in finish but look no different from what my A2 uppers in the Army did. From the look of these I would easily believe that these were attached to police duty rifles.

These are good to go....make the guy an offer.
