Fugheddabout the carry handle.
You’ll never use it and it interferes with scope positioning.

I have a Hakko Electro Point on my AR carry handle.

I like it fine, but they are no longer available

I’ll see your key lime pie and vanilla gelato, and raise you a low-carb chocolate-swirl cheesecake. ;-)

I’ve known folks to grind the carrying handles clean off, and attach a pic rail with screws and epoxy etc. The handle puts the scope up too high. You may consider that to be an atrocity, but I am a form follows function guy. If you plan to use the rifle with optics, and not to sell it, I’d just cut the damn handle off. A gunsmith can blend it in so you don’t even know it was there.

It wasn’t his fault.
He wasn’t driving.
What I didn’t know didn’t hurt me.
He didn’t do anything wrong!!!

How are you and the family, PE?

It is too high for a cheek weld, but it is what it is.

I would not chop up a classic gun.

I run EOTech 516 on mine. Buttons on the side instead of the rear. But that won’t work with a handle.

Also, I can tell you that after 3 solid days of researching scopes and mounts, I still don’t know jack.

I had no idea it could get sooo complicated. Buying EOTechs took zero thinking. You buy it, mount it, and shoot it.

But the scope and mount world is mind numbing.

I kinda like that I can use the iron sights and the optics at the same time.
Neither are optimal but you have the option.

Thanks for the ping!

Pretty good show tonight. I liked the elderly lady who is going to go after the feral hogs with a shotgun loaded with slugs.

I fired our 12 GA twice and thought my shoulder would be sore, but it wasn’t, much to my surprise. Bryan said that my stance and grip were correct as well. I won’t stop at two shots next time, LOL!

Not kidding, My. You’re welcome anytime, Christmas or not, bearing gifts or not.

‘Night, sweetie.

Yeah, that sure seems like a sweet rifle too. Smokingfrog posted a thread on it a while back that I missed. That MVP uses AR mags too.

I have crappy eyes and EOTech works good for me. You can mount it in front of the carry handle. The closer it is mounted to your eye the more likely it is that the red dot will be fuzzy (if you wear glasses, anyway). There is a cantilever mount you can get to mount it on your carry handle if you want to.
