Reviews & Ratings for XTS AR Carry Handle Rear Sight — 11 reviews — Page 1

I would NOT recommend this carry handle for real world use, at the most airsoft. Im using it on a display rifle, so it works for me. The elevation knob is made of plastic and not numbered. The elevation knob's clicks are very faint and easy to move out of place. The windage knob is probably made of metal (hard to tell) and the numbers are painted on in silver (very cheesy). The windage knob's clicks are slightly more positive and audible but still easily moved out of place.

When I first opened the package things looked good - finish and workmanship were flawless. When I went to sight it in I realized the sight flopped around in the handle making repeatable accuracy impossible. I intend to return it.

I have bought 2 different Carry Handle rear sights from 2 different suppliers and different brands they are not something you take out of th box mount in place and go ans zero them and shoot. I have had to fit them to the rifle in both cases. This last one the front screw was mounted crooked I had to file it flat as it was bottoming out in the slot of the top rail and not allowing it to sit down flush on the rail. The front mounting point was also not straight and I had to use needle files to straighten it and lower the edge so it would grip over the edge of the rail to be held down enough to be held on. I personnaly use this sight because it is what I am used to 22 years Army, they are quick and easy to get on target and with practice very effective even out to 450 meters. However, if you but one you need a needle file set, a fine small flat file, a new green scotch brite pad,( sometimes you need to buff down the finish on the top rail of a new rifle and the inside mounting surface of the sight) and a tube of lock-tite to go on the mounting edges and hold down screws to hold the sight in place after you have fitted it several times and got every thing flush and located correctly. If you don't want to do all this buy a more expensive name sight.

Was pretty pleased with the purchase though Optics Planet. But the price reflects the quality.
I am unable to sight in the rear handle as it is out of center to the rifle and with the sight turned al the way left, it still can't zero.
Had the gunsmith at the range take a look and he said it needed to be shimmed in order to keep it lined up but doing so would would cause issues with it not staying attached. Put on a different handle and no issues.

I have always liked the quality that you get with XTS products and this is no different. The fit is great. Nice tight lockdown with thumb screw lock down and allowing easy removal when needed. It also has the mount hole in top center if you have the need to use a XTS detachable scope mount! This company has their game on!

Fit well with firm adjustment has maintained zero with normal abuse. Appears to be high grade aluminum. Excellent quality for the price it is offered at. .

Item was made in China. It appears to be diecast aluminum, not 6061 or 7075. It does have a 6/3 marked elevation knob. Weird sort of color, has a greenish tint to it, sort of like the SP1 Colts. If you just need a basic carry handle this would work. Item seemed to fit tight on picatinny rail. A military grade 7075 T6 forged unit will cost $75-$100, so this is a cheap alternative.

Fits perfect , easy to site in. It was shipped to my house very quickly. Out of the box it was easy to install. I would recommend this to any who want a cheap scope for there ar. I have read the reviews on this and would have to say there right. It was easy to sight in didn’t take to many rounds. I would purchase for my others ar.

The last carry handle sight from another supplier did not fit properly and I had to use shims on the mountings and it just did not fit properly.I have had the oppertunity to go to the range,yet,but,this fits like it should,I feel confident it will work as it should.
