Wings help protect the sight aperture from damage and also reduce glare that can obstruct a sight picture. The carry handle has been designed to have some depression in the middle, with flaps protruding on the sides. It has thumb nuts on the sides where the rifle is attached. It's usually raised on one side more than the other to avoid hindering the line of sight. It also has a matte black finish as well as retention and thumb nuts to ensure you safely and securely install and use it. Our AR-15 detachable carry handle is made of steel and aluminum construction. Some handles let you mount a magnified optic, but since flat-top rifles are the norm, detachable rail mount carry handles have become popularized.

I also wonder about the trijicon mounts if they work loose on carry handle. It would be nice if I could just win the lottery and buy one of each and test them.Saturday 10am to 12pm PST Come Visit Our Showroom in SoCal! I am just surprised that the holes in the nut are not threaded with an allen set screw to secure the mounts. Smith Enterprises makes one that looks good but ARMS 39 appears to have two points of attachment. I am wondering if any of the mounts made today actually stay put and dont loose their zero. I dont have that now as like a dumb ass I sold all my assault rifles and spare parts etc when I quit being a cop in Texas - now that I find myself back in law enforcement I have replaced them as best I could since some of the stuff cant be had now like the night firing device so I use smith vortex. The thing is I tried to scope a carry handle gun about 1977 and the mount would work its way loose after a few rounds, also had a 4x Colt scope that had a spring loaded nut which would stay in place and not work loose. I am always several scopes behind so who knows what glass. I am really happy with my TA442 but its on a M4 type gun. Yak I have two AR guns one is a match service rifle A2 set up but I have been knocking the idea around of having in hand what I would need to drop a scope on it.
