New MP-15 (help w/ sights)

[PghBoy]

I just got a new M&P15, but haven't had the chance to shoot it yet. My question is this, It came with the detachable carry handle and fixed front sight. I grabbed a Tru-Gold for it but want to know it the is anything that I can mount to the carry handle? This way, if the battery goes dead, I can still use the mounted sights on the gun. Or would you suggest purchasing new rear sights and use both. If that's the case, will the be any issues changing the rear sight from height of the carry handle to the lower flip down sight.

Hi, Welcome to the forum. I have the M&P15T with the folding front and rear sights. I mounted an EoTech holosight. Mine did not have the carry handle. If you can maybe replace the carry handle with a rear folding sight so you can mount what you want and if batteries fail you can flip up rear sight and be good to go.

Enjoy your rifle. I love mine. Let us know when you put some rounds thru it and how you like it.
