Can anyone help me with putting a scope on my XM? As some of you know the carry handel doesnt come off of it like the M4A1 so I need a scope/mount that just slides right into place in the carry handle. Thanks.

Whelp, know the hole in the handle? The M16 scope that Mauri sells it just for that. But there are alternative routes. Know the flat top receiver on an M4, A2 or A3? Well, they sell that in a form, which will connect to the top of the carry handle, securing it in place with the same hole that the m16 scope fits in. I picked one up at the local gun shop for around 30 bucks; it was expensive but its real steel so I said why not? The problem is, the mounting area on AR15s is so wide that many low dollar air guns/pistol/shot gun scopes won’t fit on there. So, you most likely have to go with a riflescope. If I can find mine (I believe its mixed in with my RC Car stuff somewhere) ill take a picture of it on my M4 to give you an idea of what it looks like. It’s by far (in my mind) the best way to mount your scope on your AR15-type rifle.
