Default Carry handle differences?

Hi! I know the search engine is my friend, and I've been using it to see what carry handle / rear sight options people have been choosing for their 15-22.

With that, I have some basic questions....

I like the look of the handle, and want something that is simple and functional. In searching for them on Ebay, I'm a little confused at to differences.... meaning what is a 'version 6' as compared to a 'weaver 7/8' or a 'model 15/4' (unless that's really meaning it's for an AR15 or M4 style?), or what 'match grade' means.

I'm just looking for something tight, functional, and working, without dropping a big chunk of cash into it.

Any recommendations? Thank you for your help!

the 7/8" weaver is talking about the rail. that just means that it will fit on the picatinny rail. afaik, even if they don't specify, all the AR carry handles will fit the picatinny rail... wouldn't make sense if it didn't.

model 4/15... i think you are correct. seems like what UTG calls their parts that will fit the M4 or AR-15 variants. not sure.

if you are talking about UTG version 6, then it just seems like that is their latest version. i don't know what the difference is between it and their earlier versions.

match grade supposedly means it has tighter tolerances and can be used for competition. i have seen that term used both for parts and ammunition.

personally, when i bought my carry handle, i just made sure it came off of a colt. i am sure other brands make good carry handles. i just went with a brand i thought i could trust...

mine is just sitting in my parts box. i don't intend to use it, but just cool to have.

I ended up buying a UTG MNT-950 carry handle. Installed easy. Maybe I can get out soon and figure out how to sight it in.
