Kevin, I haven't personally on this exact brand but don't forsee any major issues. The hardest part is going to be removing the front sight post, they can be a pain to remove. You will have to remove the front sight gas block and replace it with a new gas block or it'll get in the way of the scope. I have heard of people just cutting the front sight part off and just keeping the gas block portion but wouldn't recommend doing it that way. after replacing that it's smooth sailing from there. Not sure if you have found the scope you want but if not I'd recommend a Bushnell 1-6 ar scope, it's specifically made for AR-15s. Here's a link to one If interested. Hope this helps, link to scope here........ https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/126858/bushnell+ar+optics+1-6x+24mm+obj+112-16+ft+@+100+yds+fov+30mm+tube+black+finish+illuminated+btr-1

You can mount an optic to the carry handle no problem, just get an adapter mount the adapter to the handle and the optic to the adapter. (https://monstrumtactical.com/ar-15-carry-handle-rail-mount-combo/) I've never been a fan of this personally as I like more control over optic height, specific mount, and other accessories, your kind of limited in what and how you can mount with an A2 handle set up. I go with optics ready models for more options and customization, plus with a free floated barrel you'll get better accuracy, especially when the gun starts heating up. https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/131582/stag+arms+15+tactical+5.56x45mm+nato+16+30+1+black

Kevin, there should be no problems. Remove the carry handle and attach scope to picatinny rail. You do not need to remove the front sight or gas block. As long as the height between the top of the base to the bottom of the scope rings is 1 inch, you will not even see the front sight. I have this scope mount on my AR15 and the front post sight is not seen when looking through the scope. >>>> https://monstrumtactical.com/slim-profile-series-offset-picatinny-scope-mount-30mm/ .....Monstrum also makes nice entry level scopes that won't break the bank >>> https://monstrumtactical.com/1-4x24-first-focal-plane-ffp-rifle-scope-with-illuminated-rangefinder-reticle/

Kevin, no issues. The front sight will not be noticeable through a scope (more so on un-magnified optics). I would recommend a 5.56/.223 calibrated Scope : https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/104972/bushnell+ar731240+ar+optics+3-12x40mm+obj+29-7+ft+@+100+yds+fov+1+tube+black+matte+drop+zone+223
