LBE Unlimited Mil-Spec AR-15 Carry Handle / Rear Sight — Black Finish (Model: ARCHAS, UPC: 784682014394)

Upgrade your AR-15 with a rugged, true-to-spec replacement that delivers classic function and modern reliability. The LBE Unlimited Mil-Spec AR-15 Carry Handle / Rear Sight (ARCHAS) pairs military-style durability with precision adjustable sights, making it an ideal choice for veterans, builders, and range enthusiasts who want a no-nonsense rear sight and carry handle that fits mil-spec uppers perfectly.

Overview

The ARCHAS carry handle is a mil-spec compatible, drop-in rear sight and carrying solution engineered to mount to standard AR-15 upper receivers with a Picatinny/Weaver rail. Constructed for durability and field reliability, this rear sight provides windage and elevation adjustments, a solid cheek weld when used with appropriate stocks, and the classic carry handle silhouette favored by many shooters and collectors.

Key Features

• Mil-Spec Compatibility: Built to standard AR-15 dimensions so it installs cleanly on mil-spec Picatinny rails and military-pattern uppers.

• Dual-Function Design: Acts as both a rear sight and practical carry handle — convenient for transportation and traditional styling.

• Tool-Adjustable Windage & Elevation: Precise click detents let you zero quickly and return to zero reliably after field adjustments.

• Aperture Options: Typically includes both battle/close-range and precision/long-range apertures for flexible engagement distances.

• Robust Construction: Manufactured from durable steel or high-strength aluminum (batch dependent) with a black corrosion-resistant finish.

• Low-Profile Mounting: Solid clamp interface for stable attachment to Picatinny rails — resists creep and maintains alignment.

• Classic Ergonomics: Raised handle gives a natural carry point and keeps optics and sights accessible when not using magnified optics.

Performance Benefits

• Reliable Zero Retention: Engineered to withstand recoil and use without losing sight alignment.

• Rapid Transition Sighting: The carry handle geometry provides a consistent cheek weld and intuitive sight picture for iron-sight shooters.

• Versatile Engagement: Switch between the larger aperture for quick close work and the smaller aperture for precise fire at distance.

• Durable Finish: Matte black coating reduces glare while providing corrosion resistance for range and field environments.

Compatibility & Fitment

• Model: ARCHAS

• UPC: 784682014394

• Platform: AR-15 / AR-pattern upper receivers with standard Picatinny/Weaver rails

• Compatibility Notes: Fits most mil-spec uppers; verify rail width and attachment method for aftermarket or non-standard rails. Not intended for non-Picatinny proprietary mounting systems without appropriate adapters.

Installation & Armorer Tips

1. Safety First: Clear the firearm and ensure it is unloaded before installation.

2. Mounting: Loosen the carry handle clamp screws, seat the handle on the Picatinny rail, align to desired position, then torque screws evenly to secure. Use a torque wrench if available to avoid over-tightening.

3. Zeroing: Start with the larger aperture for initial zeroing at 25 yards, then use the smaller aperture to refine at longer distances. Adjust elevation and windage using the tool-adjustable knobs; confirm clicks and directionality before firing.

4. Maintenance: Periodically re-check clamp torque and sight alignment after heavy use or removal/reinstallation.

Ideal Applications

• Traditional AR-15 builds and historic reproductions

• Iron-sight training and marksmanship practice

• Backup or co-witness rear sight for optics users (when used in tandem with appropriate risers)

• Collectors and shooters who prefer classic carry handle ergonomics over flat top rails

Care & Maintenance

• Wipe down after range use to remove fouling and moisture.

• Lightly lubricate adjustment threads to prevent corrosion and ensure smooth clicks.

• Inspect mounting screws periodically and tighten to manufacturer-recommended torque if necessary.

• If swapping between optics and iron sights frequently, store screws and small parts in a labeled container to avoid loss.
