I am building Flat top carbine. My friend gave me a Carry Handle with an A2 sight. It is marked Armalite, but the elevation wheel is marked 6/3, 5, 4. My A2 rifle is marked 8/3, 7, 6, 5, 4. Is this an unusual thing, or are these for different models.
Also, the apertures on the 6/3 sight are very small in comparison to the 8/3 sight. I would think that the smaller apertures would be better for Target shooting and the larger ones for Combat. Just a guess. Anybody have the real answer? |

Your removable carry handle is normal, they're all marked 6/3 while A2 sights are marked 8/3.
All my A2 rifles since '86 had those sight markings, and my Colt detachable carry handle from my 6721 are marked the same as yours. Here's a pic link of the 6/3 markings same as my detachable carry handle, look about halfway down the page. http://www.biggerhammer.net/ar15/uppers/ |
