To find a Diemaco A1 carry handle. Sorry for the crappy pics.

Very interesting.
How about a shot from the right side?

I have got to get one of those. Did you get it off of the EE on ARFCOM?

mikeinkc · October 30, 2006, 3:30am

On the EE at the other site?? Not exactly.
I`ll take pics of the right side tomorrow.

That’s pretty darn cool!

Love the carbine too, nice and clean!

Mike looks good.

Kevin, Im sure youve used plenty of these. I`ve been looking for years for one just for the rare factor, and the fact that it looks good on a KISS carbine.
Now if I can just find a Canadian hammer forged barrel w/the sleeve thing.

Very cool find!

What is the theory why they machine out the underside of the carryhandle mount?
(less weight??)

Nice!

Have you considered a same-plane rear sight on it?

KevinB · October 30, 2006, 7:51pm

Actually these are very rare in the Canadian Army.
AFAIK only one unit bought them.

Right side.

MASP7 · October 31, 2006, 12:55am

Very cool.
Where do you get one of these?

I’ll swap you two Colt A2’s for it… . Nice stuff.
