Steve Laman Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 Trying to build an "old school" Armalite style AR10/308. I've looked everywhere for an Armalite EA5050 carry handle. Please let me know if you have one to sell or know where I can buy one. I realize they are scarce. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtallen83 Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 Hey get in line! I'm tempted to buy a used National Match model just to get one, got beat out at $200 last opportunity I had to bid on one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albroswift Posted June 25, 2022 Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 I finally had to mod a RRA for my build. Just couldn't get the real McCoy. RRA is about 1/2" long, and the rear post recesses into the receiver. Still couple hundred. There are some fake sites selling them for $49.00, fortunately didn't fall for that.

It recesses because it's a true A2 sight wheel, the 8/3 wheel. Those went into the receiver. The 6/3 wheels on the M4 Carbines didn't recess - they didn't make them 6/3 because it was on the Carbine - they made them 6/3 because they didn't want to mill the receivers for the longer-travel 8/3 setup. There's the rest of the story... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
