A search gave me no good suggestions... but I'll bet there is a thread on it.
I have a flattop Bushie with an Aimpoint on it, but due to a few issues it's not great for duty work. I decided to use my DPMS as my duty rifle and it's got a fixed carrying handle (A1 style).
Since the sights are fixed, I need to mount the Aimpoint in a way so I can still use the sights if the Aimpoint goes belly-up. I was using a GG&G Aimpoint Cantilever Ring on the Bushie. I've seen Aimpoints mounted on the carrying handle and don't really like the set-up. So I'm thinking I can mount it forward on the handguard.
Anyone have any idea what mounting arrangement works well or have any of you found it has too many drawbacks and suggest I stick with the iron sights?
Any help w/b much appreciated.
