This is a factory-new FN A2-profile removable carry handle with integral rear sight assembly — the correct piece for building a period-correct M16A4, M4A1 with detachable carry handle, or any A2-pattern AR-15 upper. Supplied by FN to support government and contract production, these carry handles are drawn from the same supply chain that equipped M16A4 rifles in U.S. service.
Construction is forged aluminum with the windage-and-elevation-adjustable A2 rear sight assembly installed. Forge marks will vary by subcontractor — most commonly a square forge mark from Brass Aluminum Co., and the dimensions and fitment are generally identical to Colt and LMT carry handles of the same era. The clamp-mount interfaces directly with any Mil-Std-1913 flat-top upper with the correct A4-style carry handle cut.
These come factory-new in two forms: ordered as loose spare parts directly from FN, or occasionally pulled from unissued new rifle boxes where the carry handle ships in a separate inner box. They are not take-offs — no mileage, no holster wear, no contact marks from use.
If you're building a clone-correct M16A4 or running an A4 configuration on an M4 upper, this is the right handle for the job. Order yours today.
