Default Carry handle

Does anybody know of a QUALITY carry handle brand to recommend for a Sport model. I see plenty online in the $30 to$40 price range and its hard to believe that these are quality items. Thanks!

the cheaper ones are either air soft knockoffs, or just dont hold zero. so i was told. dont pay anything less than $80 for an okay one.

Yes. The Colt carry handle is the same one that goes on military-issue M4s. It's a quality handle and sight that will probably last longer the the rifle you put it on.

I own two and bought both used at a gun show for about $40 a piece. If your local shows tend to have mil surplus and takeoffs, finding a handle used might save you some money. Colt's marking for the carry handle is not a C like on the receiver. It is commonly a square, or an A with a number, such as A-9.
