Looking for a (Preferably) Colt Handle to go on an AR15 (and also the Screw/washer that holds an ACOG type scope onto it.)
I am looking to see if someone has some spare parts. Hopefully both the handle and the ACOG scope mount screw with the washer. If you think you might have these parts and are willing to sell some parts you do not need, please contact me. I do not have a front post. The handle is to just support the ACOG at a comfortable height. As mentioned in the question/response below, direct mounted to the picatinny rail is uncomfortably low for the 4x ACOG.
Thank you for considering the request.

Yes, first thing you need is the carry handle. To my knowledge, all A1 and A2 carry handles (perm and detachable) have the hole to mount an ACOG directly to it via the screw/nut/washer you speak of. If that's how you plan to mount your ACOG, you don't need a picitinny adapter, just the carry handle, ACOG and the screw/nut/washer. Trijicon sells them if you don't get one here.
However, if you plan to mount your ACOG with the often configured picitinny base attached to it, then you need the picitinny rail adapter for the carry handle (and it attaches through the same hole as mentioned above).
I've tried both, and vastly prefer direct mount of the ACOG to the carry handle w/out use of the rail adapter. It reduces the height of the cheek riser adapter you'll need to add to your butt stock.
