The general purpose, iron sight guns have either the stock FSB/DD fixed rear combo or DD fixed front/rear combo. Guns with RDS or LVPO have the MagPull pros or the Troy flip ups.

Has anybody here messed with the White Oak Armament A2 uppers with integral handle/sight?

Not another dime.
My issued 11.5” Colt has a fixed front sight and folding MBUS rear, along with the Aimpoint. The iron/plastic sights have worked very well; I regularly turn off the dot and practice using the sights.
A personal AR15 has MBUS PRO metal folding sights (under the P4Xi). Those seem like good sights too, but I haven’t used them much.
I have several different arrangements on my ARs, but I prefer the standard FSB sight with an DD 1.5 rear. Next favorite is a vary handle rear with the FSB. Even with a RDS I prefer fixed sights.

At some point in my shooting history I spent some time shooting an irons-only BCM “dissipator” upper on a lower with a fixed A1 stock. Unrelated to this thread topic, but I honestly couldn’t think of much of anything I gave up with that gun and regularly beat the snot out of dudes shooting far fancier guns.
As my dissipator was a flattops, as most uppers these days are, I needed a rear sight to match up to the fixed fsb. I wanted a “same plane” rear aperture and I believe the sight I used proved that.

Context, my friend.
There's been considerable discussion about A1 sights vs A2 sights over the years. So, to ensure clarity, everyone understands what a 'detachable A2 carry handle' is even though it's not even part of the M16A2. Sure, it's an M16A4 component but the kicker is that it houses a rear sight assembly that is widely known as 'A2 sights'. Saying 'M4 sight' would simply confuse it with a CompM4 in circles like this, too.
They have not issued carry handles for quite some time with any M4 or M4A1 (or the M16A4 for that matter) though it's still on the AAL. Every M4 new or old that I've seen in the past 10 years have all had Matech or KAC sights on them depending on the branch and unit. Almost always Matechs as far as Army stuff goes.
Scalarworks are the heat for fixed sights. And their website is a work of art so it’s worth taking a look for yourself if you’re looking for a set of buis.
