Hello all,
I've searched the forum and have read all the comments and opinions about the fixed carry handle vs. the flattop receiver. The consensus seems to be that it's better to have the flattop with the removable handle and not use it than it is to get the A2 because of the A3's versatility.
I'll be getting a new Bushmaster M4gery with the 16" barrel and birdcage flash suppressor. I highly doubt that I will ever mount any optics on the gun.
I'd like to hear some comments about the ARMS #40 flip up rear sight.

I plan on using my new Bushy for informal range plinking out to 125 yards and some hiking and possibly HD.
Here are my questions. Is the ARMS #40 a better iron sight than the rear sight integrated into the A2 carry handle? Is the Arms set up as sturdy as the sight in the removable A3 handle? Can it take some bumps without losing zero, now I'm not talking about dropping it but would it be OK sliding around in my trunk? Being that I'm 99% sure I'll never mount optics am I just better off getting the A2?
Thanks in advance for you opinions and comments.
Randy
