[QUOTE="Dmc707, post: 4263973, member: 54876"] How "retro" are you going curiously enough - many Red dot mounting platforms nowadays put the optic roughly as high as they would be if you mounted one atop a carry handle -- If you are going with a carbine, - a rail mount on top of the carry handle plus rails attached to the top and bottom of your handguards (there are - or used to be - mounting plates that utilized the vent holes ) should give you plenty of real estate -- lot of light mounts clamp to the side of the front sight post ---- i had an A2 carbine back in the 90's with a 4x scope on top -- irons were still able to be used and a laser attached to the FSB Retro's are my favorite - sounds like a fun project [/QUOTE]
