Mounting an ACOG optic on a carry handle poses challenges due to insufficient rail space. To address this, consider using a rail adapter that converts the carry handle into a Picatinny rail, providing a stable and secure platform for the ACOG. Alternatively, consider purchasing a dedicated ACOG mount designed specifically for carry handles, which eliminates the need for an adapter and ensures optimal optic positioning.

Once mounted, ACOG alignment may be affected by the carry handle. To ensure precise alignment, remove the carry handle temporarily for optic installation. Use a laser boresighter or an alignment rod to align the ACOG accurately. Reattach the carry handle and verify alignment by firing live rounds at various distances. If necessary, make minor adjustments to the ACOG mount or base until optimal performance is achieved.
