How do I work around my carrying handle mount? It will not come off since it is part of the upper I believe its called. Im wanting to install a red dot on there maybe a scope later on. Anyone have any suggestions?

Buy a stripped A3 upper receiver and convert everything to it.

If you dont want to buy an upper that has a detach. handle, you can buy mounts that attatch to that hole you see on your carry handle. They provide a rail on top of the handle once mounted to put optics and such on.

Did that make sense?

Could you suggest a good site to buy one from?

Wont that make sighting it in hard since it will have such a drop to it?

Acom's razor, (in this case maybe arfcom's razor): "The simplist solution is often the correct one."

There has been a few people that have managed to do it.

If you want a scope, use the ARMS #2, or #2EXT mount.

You can also use this mount for a good RDS, like the Aimpoint H-1 or T-1.

You can also by a cantilevered mount, like the one that comes with the M68.

Try looking at the Industry Forum for good dealers.
