·I just "got into" AR's and am looking for a couple of carry handles simply to use as rear sights. I don't need a carry handle or even like the way they look but just want a rear sight. Everywhere I look, people are saying to forget the iron sights and get a good high power scope, ACOG, Holo, or whatever. Yet most are wanting to sell their old ones for $70.00 +/- and this is about the cost of a rear flip up sight.
Let me just say-I'm cheap! I'm so cheap, I'll squeeze a quarter until the eagle screams. BUT, I don't mind paying for quality (while still getting the best price I can, of course
). I know there are Chinese made versions out there for $39.99 but have been told they are not good, to say the least.
I understand that the carry handle has the windage and elevation adjustments built in (making it a precision sight, so to speak) and it's not just a groove in the handle you look down. But are they worth having or would my money be spent better elsewhere getting a flip up rear sight, that way I could still mount a scope later on?
I'm looking for some experienced input on which you prefer(no flames please, I'm already warm enough :mrgreen: ).
Won't somebody help a Brother out?
