Greg Schroeder Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 Can the carry handle me milled off of an AR to make it a flat top. If so, who does this kind of work and what do you end up with as a flat top, is it a picatinny(spelling) rail compatable with weaver type mounts??? Thanks for the info Greg (Edited by Greg Schroeder at 12:03 am on Aug. 1, 2001) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 It is a bit of work to do that. It must be milled flat and a weaver base attached to the top. It is much cheaper and cleaner looking to buy a flattop receiver and have a gunsmith switch your barrel over.You can always sell your other receiver and get back some of your cash.

Patrick Sweeney Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 Amen that. I milled one receiver (back when they were hard to get flat-top) and have not done one since. Every time I get the urge I simply buy a flat-top, swap the parts out and sell the handled upper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
