AR15A2 sight question

[94Doug]

This may be a stupid question....but are the adjustable sights on an A2 version interchangeable with the sights on a removable handle on an A3 AR? With the cost of the handles with the sight being under $20, it seems like I could take off the sight and junk the handle.

Yes they are. But I don't know where you can buy a carry handle with sight for $20. I'd be suspicious of quality.

I'd question the quality at $20 also. Specs could be different, may not fit properly.

The removable handle rear sight is usually limited in elevation. The adjustment tops out at 600 for the removable handle style versus 800 on the A2.

I have bought Colt brand used handles for $20-25 range. They are a drug
on the market, very few use them when they come with a gun, many
sell them off, few want to add them to a flattop.
