Sparky Posted July 15, 2016 Report Posted July 15, 2016 New member just now and have a question (bothering me for months). I am the proud owner of an Armalite AR-10 and have been trying since early spring to get hold of their "EA5050" Carry Handle. I have checked a myriad of internet sites and this item is never in stock. I have also called Armalite a number of times, but they never have been able to give a date for availability. They do assure me that it will be back in stock though (someday?). Does anyone know where I may be able to locate one; secondly, is there possibly a competitors handle that would work? It would have to match up with the front sight/gas block. Thanks so much if anyone has some insight into this.

jtallen83 Posted July 15, 2016 Report Posted July 15, 2016 Welcome from Iowa, via North Carolina! Every now and then a used Armalite AR-10 carry handle will come up on ebay, they usually sell from $80-$100 though.

guruofhotrod Posted July 16, 2016 Report Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) AR15 Carry Handle looks out of place on the larger frame AR's - Here are 2 places that list them, the first seems to have them available and the second shows an 8 - 10 day backorder but has a "notify me" button - I'm not familiar with the firsy merchant but "LA Police Gear is near my house and is pretty reputable - I bought a Samson rail from them a while back, they are good to go. https://delta3tactical.com/store/products/Armalite-AR10-detachable-carry-handle.html http://www.lapolicegear.com/armalite-ar-ea5050.html Here is a pic of one of my 308's with a DPMS? 308 Carry Handle - the larger handle just looks proper!

Sparky Posted July 17, 2016 Author Report Posted July 17, 2016 Thanks very much for your input...I have previously tried to make the purchase from both mentioned vendors. Neither can supply them because Armalite is not producing. Sad on Armalite's part!
Sparky Posted July 17, 2016 Author Report Posted July 17, 2016 Just finished surfing for the DPMS brand AR-10 carry handle...totally incredibly insane! There are no carry handles available on planet Earth!!
guruofhotrod Posted July 17, 2016 Report Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) Glad to help - for the DPMS model, JSE Surplus has them pretty regularly (currently out) and has about the best price you'll find: http://www.jsesurplus.com/dpmsdetachablecarryhandlewitha2rearsightlr-308.aspx Edited July 17, 2016 by guruofhotrod
Sparky Posted July 17, 2016 Author Report Posted July 17, 2016 Thanks much...I will put them on my short list.

Sparky Posted July 18, 2016 Author Report Posted July 18, 2016 Thanks for your input...wow, these things are getting pricey!
blue109 Posted July 18, 2016 Report Posted July 18, 2016 Does the LAR8 have the same height rain as AR10? I seem to remember them being proprietary
unforgiven Posted July 18, 2016 Report Posted July 18, 2016 Rail on my Lar-8 mimicks AR15's I have.RRA also has a National match carry handle that goes to 600m.
GRA Posted July 18, 2016 Report Posted July 18, 2016 Welcome from Gulf Coast Texas. On the ArmaLite carry handle, just keep checking the ArmaLite website about every 5 days. I had to wait on mine for a while but they eventually got the front and rear sight set in.
