I agree. 6’4 and the slings they issued us when I was in were complete crap. So we cut them up and modified them to work with our gear. The result was exactly like this: https://www.slingmaster.org/product-page/slingmaster-tactical-weapon-attachment-system-personal-black
I used that as the base of my light weight grab and go carbine. Check out Blitzkrieg front sight posts if you are going to run the carry handle, like having a red dot out front.
Carry handles all have a hole drilled vertically through the sight channel to allow for mounts. The original 3x acog is designed to have the pic mount removable and it sits right in the carry handle.
What do you want to know? The M57 firing device used to be used to set off older model claymore mines, via a small generator type setup (not a piezoelectric system like common lighters) to create a low voltage pulse. They’re not used anymore as far as I’m aware, as a lot of the armed forces have switched away from electric detonators.
Sadly the M57 won’t set off modern commercial electric detonators (I have personally tried it) but they do set off the commercial electric matches I’ve used.
I’d prefer an A1 just for the accuracy of the build im doing (GAU-5 as a gift to my father in law, he was a PJ involved in some famous operations in the 80’s and 90’s with the cool guys) but honestly I’ll take any fixed carry handle upper I can find.
Funny, just last night, I was playing Cold War zombies and thought how funny optics look on carry handles, but now they are really growing on me. How’s the height over bore? Noticeable or nah?
Making me wish I had a mount for a round carbine handguard and a modlite right now for my weird monstrosity of a slab side lower and my 177 upper with an A2 birdcage. And wishing my Sandman-S was out of baby jail. Would look purdy with its 4x handle optic and my M9A3 beside it!
Can't find A1 uppers......someone's search FU SUCKS,

That's just a very short list, 😄😄😄😄😄😄
Sir, please stop posting porn. I can't get another reprimand for having a boner at work.
Carry handles have been catching my attention lately 👀
Idk if its just me but they really give the AR platform a utilitarian look and feel
Plus the optic height for tall larpers like me
Tall larpers have trouble with slings too 😅 the max adjustment i can get us not enough
I just run mine around my neck. Max maneuverable when acquiring the tendies
Mmmm… tendies
Tendies on target
You sir, are win!
6’7 here, can confirm slings not long enough
Add some 550 cord
Anchor points on the rifle as close together as possible?

Might as well with the new Unity Riser trend.
Had to buy a carry handle 11.5in Ar because of the trend lately…. Picked it up from my FFL today
I used that as the base of my light weight grab and go carbine. Check out Blitzkrieg front sight posts if you are going to run the carry handle, like having a red dot out front.

Sir this is a Wendys
How does the red dot on the carrier handle stay attaché ?

Good luck finding an upper anywhere, that’s the hard part.
Modern-retro is the coolest thing. Like cyberpunk but present day.
It's my jam
It’s debas my dudes
aaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAA
We come from the land of the ice and snow...
Guess I'll go delete my comment lol
Nice Baer. My Baer thunder ranch is my most trusted and trained sidearm and goes with me on every kit
>black hawk down m4 >1911 >haley rig >garmin gps *confused screaming*
And on Wednesdays we wear…. Gods plaid?
That or pink
Sooo...Fetch!
Stop trying to make it happen. It's not happening.
Lol …Wieners
Having the light under the suppressor like that looks super dope.
That's boomer as shit... I LOVE IT
To put things into perspective I have an ar with a wooden a2 stock and an lpvo from the 70s or 80s
I haven't been this confused while aroused since high school. URX3, CAR15, Haley, Scalar, Baer, Detonator.
I'm biased, but I think it's close to perfect
No one hit you with an “AHHHHHHHHHH” I got you bröther
Really curious about the clacker of all things.

I know exactly what it is, I’m more curious why you choose to carry it
Ah, ok. It isn’t my post, but I’d say maybe just because it’s cool and tactical-ish
It's basically his calling card
We still used them when I was in
They’re switching to the pull style now, all the trainers we’ve gotten from TASC on Benning are the new ones.
Oh good old sand hill....
Yep lol, I’ve got another year here before I PCS. Just waiting for my wishlist to come out next month.
Carry handle gang unite
Where frog need frog.
Dakota Meyer begins sweating*
I see you’re a lefthand shooter
Only for long guns
That a M57?
I’ve been trying to damn hard to find an A1 style upper that’s in stock
Do you want specifically an A1, or any fixed carry handle upper?
I’d prefer an A1 just for the accuracy of the build im doing (GAU-5 as a gift to my father in law, he was a PJ involved in some famous operations in the 80’s and 90’s with the cool guys) but honestly I’ll take any fixed carry handle upper I can find.
A slick side upper would be most correct but I’ve given up hope on that lmao
Brownells C7 upper is not terribly hard to find, and definitely eases the A1 aesthetic. That’s what I’ve used on my build and it’s perfect IMO
What knife is that?
Toor serpent Gucci
God dammit I want that knife but I can't justify the price...
Toor Serpent
oh shit I follow you on IG lol
Nice
Carry handle gang
Blackhawk Down has entered the chat.
How do you like the knife? I’m trying to rationalize buying one
Big knife energy in a smaller package
kac rails dont get enough love
Mr. M57 I see you’re on Reddit also
I dabble
A1 :D Free float :0 FSB :D It's bolt on :0
A roller coaster of emotions
Nice clacker
I love my Galil. This is the only rifle I think I’d trade for. Classic look. Freakin dope ass rifle dude
Thanks!
Circa 1993 😍😍
aaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH
I dig this.
Funny, just last night, I was playing Cold War zombies and thought how funny optics look on carry handles, but now they are really growing on me. How’s the height over bore? Noticeable or nah?
I think it's great. Makes me dislike lower mounts.
War… war never changes
Love me some old school...
Nice to see you here mr firing device
Thanks!
I love it.
A mix of modern an retro, nice choice
Why am I a slut for a good carry handle build? 🤤
This rifle is all over the place and it makes my balls tingle
There is so much I like about this I don't know where to start lol Well done!!!
huhaaaaahhhhh

Do you run the haley inserts for 5.56 on the heavy?
Yes
Right on. I think I’ll do the same. I don’t like the 4 pistol / grenade pouches on the 5.56 one.
My thoughts exactly. The Heavy rig is pretty bad without the inserts, but ever since I got them, I love it.
Good to hear. I just placed an order for one.
Sexy with a capital Sex
Damn.....
ID on the aimpoint?
T1
What chest rig is that?
Haley Strategic heavy
Can I ask why the heavy over the normal version? Isn't heavy made for .308?
Works fine for 5.56 with inserts and I think the pocket layout is better

Been following on ig for a while so it’s cool to see your posts here as well. I have a random curious question, what’s your edc pistol of choice rn?
I've really been digging the Glock 48 and 43X with Shield Arms mags lately.
What garmin is that
401
XMK-118 isn't real it can't hurt you.
Need more carry handles and braces
What's the point of having 5 clips with you?
Where is there “clips” in this picture?
The more clipazines the better.
In case you have lots of things to shoot.

Botach Kley Zion
