Re: AR rear sight/carry handle?
UTG has Super Slim front and rear fixed sights that aren't too expensive.
Also, I think you can get a basic M4 style carbine for less money from PSA by buying a complete upper and a complete lower.
(something about a federal tax that they must pay on complete rifles sold that makes a complete rifle cost more than buying the identical thing as "two parts")
Example: Buy these two and pay $440
$140 (sometimes these come with free shipping, but not currently)

$300 (free shipping)

Re: AR rear sight/carry handle?
That's exactly the kinda thing I needed to know and wanted to avoid, thank you. There are all these sights, and with the pic rails they're fairly universal, but at the same time, different guns have different sights of different heights and all that. I could grab any random rear sight that fits the rails, but it needs to line up with the existing sight rail, or I gotta replace that too.

Re: AR rear sight/carry handle?
If you buy an AR with an "F" front sight use the rear sight designed for "F" front sights. When it comes to sights or carry handles with sights you mostly get what you pay for. Buy cheap get cheap.
Mil-Spec height carry handle for flat top AR-15, M16A4, M4, M4A1 rifles and carbines. Compatible with taller F marked front sight bases.

Re: AR rear sight/carry handle?
PSA carry handle is your best bet, or the UTG slim sight or MBUS for cheaper options.

Re: AR rear sight/carry handle?
Pictures were taken almost right out the box and installed the handle right out of the wrapper. I found the sight too far rearward and stray grease from that photo. I guess I'd better take some new pictures. Threw the Magpul flip up sight in a box of spare parts. Brownells was selling the DPMS handle but they were always out of stock so after doing proper research the PSA carry handle is the best one out there in my opinion.

Re: AR rear sight/carry handle?
I primarily go with iron sights or non powered optics just for the fact that they dont need batteries. I don't know how many times I have gone to the range with a red dot and the battery is dead. All glass rifles have BUIS. I like the grab handles, I have 2-3 rifles with them. They look exactly like Jens
