i am planning to buy an armalite ar 15 soon. the one i want is on their website. www.armalite.com it's the m15 a4. the website says that it has a detachable carry handle. i am planning to mount a scope on it and my question is: will i remove the handle and mount the scope or will the scope have to mount to the handle? thanks in advance for your help

    Remove the handle and mount the scope to the flat-top receiver, which has a picatinny(sp?) rail built into it.

    EDIT* You could, however, mount the scope to the handle if you wished.

    The flat top will look like this with the handle removed:

    thanks. that's exactly what i want. i don't want to put the scope on the handle. i want to mount it on a rail. i just wasn't sure if the handle was attached to a rail or another mounting system that wouldn't work for a scope. thanks again. you just made my day
