ABSTRACT:
An improved scope mounting base for securing a scope to the carrying handle of M-16 type rifles without interfering with the sight tunnel formed through the top of the carrying handle. In a preferred form the scope mounting base comprises a readily detachable, elongated body having a generally U-shaped interior handle-engaging contour which mates securely to the undersigned exterior surfaces of the carrying handle, and exterior scope-mounting surfaces located along the exterior side surfaces of the carrying handle. This arrangement leaves the sight tunnel through the top of the carrying handle unobstructed, and allows the detachable base to remain on the rifle when the scope is removed while still permitting the unimpaired use of the iron sights. In an alternate embodiment the exterior scope-mounting surfaces, preferably in the form of dovetail-type rails such as Weaver or NATO Stanag, are formed integrally into the exterior side surfaces of the carrying handle.
