I'd like to mount a 5.5 22x50 scope on an ar, is it possible.

yep.. As a matter of fact i have 2 mounts that screw on the top of the handle.. The one draw back is the height of the optic. I had a red dot and a hologragh mounted on mine.

I've since purchased a flatop ,so i only use the iron sites on A2 carry handle. I forget what i paid for them but . There are a few different styles.

You can pick up a decent one for about 15 bux. Don't pay that much. It's only a hunk of aluminum....

Shop around...

Thanks guys

yeah i got mine years ago. Shoot me a message with your address abd ill give you one of mine. Im sure i paid way to much. Mine are B- Square

they are about 17 bucks for the b-square

When it comes to optics and mounts cheap is just that....

 

True words.

 

One of my ARs is an A2 upper that I've tried a few different optics on. They are just too high to get a good cheekweld. I use it with irons only now. Good for practice.

 

If you have an A2 stock, you can get a riser that may help you get a good weld.

Thanks again guys
