The A.R.M.S., Inc. M16A1/A2 Carry Handle Scope Mount is a direct attachment solution for shooters who want to mount optics on the carry handle of their AR platform rifle without permanent modifications. Built for the classic M16A1 and M16A2 platforms, this mounting system lets you add glass to your rifle while preserving the integrity of your receiver and maintaining the carry handle's utility. Whether you're upgrading a service rifle, running a retro build, or setting up a rifle that bridges legacy and modern accessories, this mount delivers a straightforward path to better sight picture.
A.R.M.S. has been engineering AR accessory solutions for decades, and this carry handle mount reflects that expertise. It's designed to work specifically with the geometry and attachment points of M16A1 and M16A2 carry handles, ensuring a solid platform for your scope or red dot. If you're working with a rifle that doesn't lend itself to modern handguard-mounted optics or Picatinny rail systems, a carry handle scope mount keeps your setup clean and functional.
This is ideal for hunters and shooters who want to preserve the profile of their AR while adding glass, or for those building or maintaining a rifle with period-correct or classic configuration. It's also a practical choice for overlanders or field sportsmen who need a reliable optic mount that doesn't require gunsmithing or permanent changes to the rifle.
