What do you guys think looks better. I have an ABT and i am either goin to put a rail on the carry handle and put a red dot on that or make it a flatrail on top with a red dot. Which one looks better in your opinion.
Thanks

I like the look of a flatrail, but the carry handle acts as a riser so you may want to keep it like that.

They'll both look decent.  Throwing a rail on the carry handle will be cheaper and easier, but flat topping it adds another custom touch.  Its up to what you want to do.

I think flatrail looks best.  But in the end it's up to you.

w/ the flatrail you would "cut" off the handle?

If so, say good by to your warranty... I would keep it simple for now and mount it on your handle... and see how that works for you, before you do something permanent... this is just what I think... and I plan on doing this with my ABT.

This all depends on if indeed a "flatrail" means cutting off the existing handle...

The handle I ordered did not fit my tippmann A5 but I added a 2" riser and mounted my scope to it.  I posted a link in the 'show your marker' section.  I also added an ak47 mag, flatline barrel w/shroud, collapsible stock and squishy paddles.  Will try the red dot scope for the first time this Sunday and see if I like it.

I have a NcStar red dot sight on top of m16 carry handle on my 98 custom. It looks sick but I like it because you never have to worry about mask clearance. Before I added the carry handle it was hard to see through the dot sight.

NcStar?  careful with  that one.  they have a tendency to break apart on impact.
