Im considering an Eotech for the AR. Im just not sure which location is the best for mounting considering I have the A2 Carry handle rear sight. Ive seen them mounted in between the carry handle and front sight post on a FF forend, as well as on top of the A2 Carry handle. Does anyone else have this setup? What are some of the pros/cons of each? Thanks!

I have this on my detachable run handle. There are two down sides with it in my opinion. First is the large nut pretty much makes the run handle useless. Second, it sets my optic (http://www.trijicon.com/user/parts/prod ... tegoryID=8) higher than I like.

I wouldn't mount it on top of the carry Handle. I would get a mount that moves it forward of the handle so you can co-witness it.

Have to agree with paul mounting anything ontop of the carrying handle really makes it super high and about impossible to get a decent cheek weld.... mount it in front by using a railed forend of one of those mounts that ties into the A2 handle and moves the eotech forward....
