Most Helpful Positive Review AR carry Handle
The unit fit my A-4 upper perfectly and the built in rear sight was an added bonus. At the range the sight was found to be nearly perfect and accuracy right out of the box was very good. Great price and quality.
Most Helpful Negative Review Made in china
Really made in China? On a CNC machine could mass produced for six dollars , charge me twelve and make in the USA !!! Not bad but not union made . Should be listed as to origin of manufacturing. Stand behind the U.S. Keep our jobs in this country! Do not make my mistake and find out after the fact ...

Missing 3 springs, two ball bearing and roll pin

by Don, from NH, United States Written on March 29, 2024
Bought this in 2017, never got to use it until now. At the range found that there was no ratching of the rear elevation wheel and that you could actually detach the rear sight by continuing to turn the eevation wheel. Found that the unit was missing the elevation spring, two rear sight springs, two ball bearings and a roll pin.
Glad to see that it is no longer available. I ended up buying an Anderson to replace it.

Good piece

by South paw gang, Verified Owner from TX, United States Written on January 7, 2023
Fits great seems like a lower profile to others locks down tight color is good maybe powdered coated?it tells it's a lower quality but will probably work for light to medium use. Light weight thumb knobs for faster install or take off. The price should really be less.
Pros:
  • Light weight and easy mount
Cons:
  • Price (a little steep!)
Best Used for:
  • Light use at the range
  • Medium use
Would recommend: Yes

Very good so far

by Dave B., Verified Owner from CA, United States Written on December 2, 2022
Just mounted this handle to my AR Build and it fit perfectly nice and tight. Seems sturdy and well built, great finish and easy to mount. Well give an additional review once I take it to the range and see how accurately it sends rounds down range.
Pros:
  • Easy to install, fit very well.
  • Easy to install, fit well and looks like a perfect fit
Cons:
  • none so far
Would recommend: No

Just pure junk

by Ryan, from NC, United States Written on January 21, 2018
I went through two of these. The first would not allow me to switch from the small and large aperture without rotating the adjustment on the sight. I called Sun Optics and they replaced it for me. The second one's rear sight was too small and was nearly impossible to use. I was in the Army for 8 years, and I have never had a problem with a carry handle sight, but I guess service rifles have a standard.

It stinks that I have to give this product a star.

Do yourself a favor and invest in a quality rear sight, like the Aero Precision or Troy rear sights.

You get what you pay for.
Pros:
  • Cheap
Cons:
  • everything
Best Used for:
  • Toilet paper
Would recommend: No

  • Quality
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • ARs that need rear aights
Would recommend: Yes

Perfect Fit

by lonegunman, from PA, United States Written on April 26, 2016
Worked just like it supposed to, easy to install, works great with scope mount, seems to be strong and holds zero after hundreds of rounds. This was used on my first so that I can keep the cost down, can't tell the difference between the high price carry handle and this one.
Pros:
  • easy to mount, holds setting
Cons:
  • None, really.
Best Used for:
  • First build
Would recommend: Yes

Sun Optics AR Carry Handle with W/E

by FM54, Verified Owner from FL, United States Written on February 12, 2016
Sun Optics, AR Carry Handle with W/E, at a great price, too, was a great addition to my AR15. It fit the rail just fine after I figured out how to seat it properly on the rail system. If not done correctly you will feel the Carry Handle move forward and backwards, it should not move... It felt like to me I had to fit both Carry Handle cross bolts over one rail top each to have them seat properly...
Great product Sun Optics, Thank you... Great Price OpticsPlanet.com, Thank you...
