I suggest a J&J ceramic 14" barrel about $35, anf here is a good site for cheap red dots.

I saw someone on this forum who'd simply clamped their red dot to the carry handle but I can't imagine it staying on very well in the heat of a game.  The alternative is what most people have done is get an AR15 riser rail and tap a hole into the carry handle where there normally is one on the real deal.  2 minutes with a drill no problem.

cheaperthandirt.com will give you some ideas. they have inexpensive ar15 rails and optics, and accesories that will work with the alpha black. like grumbacher said, you may have to do a little of your own work to get some things to fit. just remember, if you go with a longer barrel, you will have to adjust the air to get the same performance
