Recently build. Took me awhile to source the fixed carry handle and the rail for it.

Does your scope stay steady being on that carry handle? Thinking of getting a carry handle to scope mine since I have a fixed front sight....or maybe I just need another that is a flat top.

you don't need a handle to mount scope high to clear front sight. anything above 2x power, it disappears

Thanks I'll have to give it a try, I haven't taken it off the gun it's on yet but just looking at it I thought "that's gonna get in the way."

As the other guy said, you don't need a carry handle to clear the front sight. Just a regular mount. If the front sight still bothers you, just get an upper without it. I got my fixed carry handle for the retro look. It's not a scope. It's a red dot

My latest rifle. Anderson lower with Anderson parts kit, Magpul stock, 6.5 Grendel Bear Creek Arsenal complete upper with 20in fluted stainless barrel. Just waiting for my Texas Silencer Company supressor to come in to complete it.

Not exactly an AR, but this definitely doesn't belong in the AK section either lol.

I have been considering one of these that takes Nato mags or a x95. Any chance you’ve messed with both?

Sadly I have not - only the version with AUG mags. NATO variant gives up a few features but I'd still strongly consider it.

How about a 10.5" Grendel..

Work in progress retro midlength build. Got the reciever set from E2 Armory, the barrel kit from Del-Ton, and the rest from various retailers. The flashlight mount is a chinesium special that had to be drastically attacked with a dremel to make it fit under the FSB. The moderator is a slip-on fake moderator from Tony's customs, the threads are right behind the flash hider slots and the rest of the body is hollow. The barrel is a lightweight profile 16" 1-9.

The goal for this is to do a midlength Blood Diamond rifle. I didn't want to go short barrel, and I don't like the proportions of 16" barrels with carbine gas. So, I gave up the skinny CAR handguards and went midlength. The front end of the rifle with that fake moderator is very close to the proportions I was looking for. I have a 30mm PA dot as the stand-in for an old Aimpoint and I'm waiting on a carry handle mount. The Streamlight HLX is standing in for a Surefire and it'll get a remote switch soon. The last step will be a rattle can job.

The upper came stripped and installing an A2 rear sight was an interesting chore.

I've got the aimpoint you're looking for

PA is close enough for a cheapie build. Honestly my eyes kinda hate dots, cheap dot or expensive dot they're all aiming with a 4 MOA red starburst to my eye. But I couldn't find any prisms that fit the budget, played well with a carry handle, and looked close.

I finally got my aero AR10 together today.

Faxon pencil barrel in 308. Weighs about the same as an AR15, at least until you put in a loaded mag.
