carry handle

Luggage lifting point

A carry handle is a grip attached to an object to make it portable: the carry handle on a toolbox, a guitar case, or a piece of luggage.

On firearms, particularly military-style rifles, the carry handle is a raised structure on top of the receiver that doubles as a mounting point for sights: The M16's carry handle has become iconic.
