Carry-handle ARs

[BigMoose]

PSA has one I've had my eye on.

PSA 20" A2 Rifle Length 5.56 NATO 1:7 Nitride Freedom Upper With Carry Handle Assembly - No BCG Or CH - 516446027

That uses a removable carry handle.

The one at AR15sports uses a TRUE A2 upper and a non F marked FSB with a goverment profile barrel. A basic configuration that is actually VERY hard to find in the civilian world.

20" A2 upper assembly with 1:7 twist chrome lined government profile barrel.

20" A2 upper assembly with 1:7 twist chrome lined government profile barrel.

And if you want the same thing with 1:8 twist for some reason. Same price.
Comes with the BCG too.

I have no ties to this company, just a very happy customer.

My trunk gun is going to be an M4-clone with a carry handle. Complete with a 14.7" pinned-and-welded barrel and a carbine-length gas system. Always loved the looks of those and seeing as how I am already in the NFA game, there is no reason for me to SBR another just to keep it in the trunk.

Damn did you nuts clean that place out or what? LOL they now show sold out of the A2 1:7 uppers

And now the 1:8 are back ordered.

I love the look of an A2 10.5 SBR. I need to finish building mine.

I really enjoy shooting my A2ish. I do enjoy shooting iron sights, and the sights on this work pretty well. I actually qualified for the Revere Riders rifle qualifier using this gun. The A2 style sights are easy to adjust and very accurate. Here is a shot of my setup:

LOVE the carry handle.... Sights are accurate, easy to adjust, and the rifle can get banged around pretty good with no impact on them.

My RRA NM service rifle has carry handle/iron sights, I can hold my own with guys running optics.....

I can too with my Colt HBAR. yyy out there too.

I recently put the carry handle back on my Windham Weaponry MPC. I decided I needed a rifle to keep up my iron sight skills as all my other rifles have scopes or red dots. I carried M16A1 and A2's in the military, so I want to build a couple retro rifles someday.

My duty rifle and back up duty rifle have detachable carry handles. I started out with an aimpoint pro then i dropped the coin on an elcan then i put a colt carry handle that i traded a guy a box of 9mm for lol I think my back up has a bushmaster carry handle on it. i love them ive been through several classes and a couple active shooter drills with them.

CDNN sports has a bunch of oddball COLT carbines with fixed stocks and fixed carry handles.

6320 6530 and one other not marked. Sadly the CAR stocked 6535s sold out.
