The M16A2's carrying handle wasn't removable, so it would make optics interesting to mount though I'm sure there are solutions. I'd bet that a decent gunsmith would be able to mount the SUSAT just fine though, given a decent set of tools and a few hours (grind off carrying handle, somehow mount SUSAT, etc).
That was my group's solution, they ground off the carry handle and foresight and rigged a susat onto the upper reciever.
