I've come across the NCStar Red dot sight, called up Tippmann Pros and OpsGear to see what I would need to mount it on an Alpha Black. Tippmann Pros said "You would need a Weaver Rail for the carry handle". OpsGear said "No Red Dot sight will fit on the alpha black".

So which of these statements is true?

And if I could mount a red dot sight onto the ABT, what exactly do I need?

Would the carry handle on the ABT be too high for a sight, thus causing it to be pointless? (I only want it for the looks, but if it's functional that would be a plus)

Any help/info/opinion will be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

Weaver rail for the carry handle would be correct

There should be a hole in the middle of your sight rail, if there is, then this rail will fit.

After thats attached just screw on the dot sight

From what I've heard, there is no hole in the handle but many have drilled their own so the rails can be attached.

Thanks Guys! Would a 1x42 Sight be too big? or should I just go for the 1x30?
