AR-15 Carry Handle Optic Mount – Secure, Precise, and Easy to Install

When it comes to mounting optics on your AR-15, choosing the right carry handle optic mount is critical for accuracy and performance. Whether you're a weekend range shooter or preparing for a tactical application, a dependable carry handle mount gives you flexibility without compromising your iron sights.

At Mounts Plus, we offer a curated selection of high-quality AR-15 carry handle optic mounts built for rock-solid performance and fast installation. If you're working with a fixed A1 or A2 carry handle, our mounts allow you to add red dots, scopes, and other optics with ease.


Why Choose a Carry Handle Mount for Your AR-15?

A carry handle mount allows shooters to attach an optic directly above the receiver by utilizing the rifle’s built-in handle. This means:

  • No need for gunsmithing or permanent modifications
  • Co-witness capability with iron sights (especially with gooseneck designs)
  • Quick and secure installation using thumb screws or tension bolts
  • Compatibility with A1 and A2 style carry handles on most AR-15 variants

Our optic mounts are designed to fit snugly into your AR's handle channel, providing a level platform for a red dot or traditional scope. Whether you're upgrading your existing rifle or starting a new build, it's a simple, effective way to enhance your setup.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Will these mounts work on both A1 and A2 carry handles?
Yes – our mounts are compatible with most A1 and A2 fixed carry handles on AR-15 and M16-style rifles. Be sure to check individual product specs for model-specific details.

Q: Can I still use my iron sights with the optic installed?
Absolutely. Many of our mounts are designed to co-witness or allow visibility of your iron sights through or around the optic, depending on your scope height.

Q: What kind of optics can I mount?
These mounts support red dot sights, compact scopes, and reflex sights with Picatinny or Weaver mounts. Most popular brands will fit without issue.

Q: Is installation difficult?
Not at all. Most mounts can be installed in minutes without tools—just insert the base into the carry handle channel and tighten the thumbscrew or locking bolt.

Q: Do these mounts hold zero?
Yes. As long as the mount is properly installed and the optic is torqued to spec, our mounts offer excellent zero retention, even under repeated recoil.
