Does anyone have a eo tech mounted on their carryhandle?  I'm new to ar's and i really like the carry handle with optics on it, but does the carry handle mount move and make the eo tech lose its zero? im just wondering before i get my First AR.  Prolly a Bushy patrolmans carbine, already got an eotech and rear BUIS thats to my dad.  






P.S.  This is my first post, long time reader on ar15.com, but i finally made my account hug.gif

If its a flattop, mount it directly to the lower receiver.  There are very few people who find it to work better up on the carry handle.


Welcome to the board, and make sure you show us pictures!

Are you wanting to mount it to a removable carryhandle?

Too many parts tolerances stacking up there.   If you have a flattop, much better to just mount it on that.

does any one have any pics of a ar with a bi level mount, and has anyone had any luck with bi level mount's?  
i have something like this http://www.bushmaster.com/shopping/scopes/arms39.asp
my dad had some spoils of war from iraq, man they were sendin eo techs to be demolished because they ordered too many, so the old man got me one before they got destroyed hsi got some other toys too like that bi level mount but hey   im gettin my tax payers money back right?

but back to topic    i dont know why, but i really like the looks of a carry handle on a rifle over a flat top, i guess im just weird, but i still want optics.  i was just wonderin if they bi level mounts hold a zero?

hey thanks stick, damn, u and wizzo are in just about every thread ive ever seen

I use this place as an outlet to decompress.  Sometimes I get extra time to post when certain things happen.


Glad to be of help, try to remember that the more you add items in between the optic and weapon, the more issues that will arise.  If you like it try it, but why not try it out mounted on the flattop for awhile and see how that works for you?  Function is more important than looks.  The worst that happens is that you buy a decent mount for $100, or a cheapo for $20.
