To be clear, I have an old Colt AR-15 A1 with the old-school carry handle,NOT a modern flat-top, and am considering mounting a scope on it that I already have lying around gathering dust (Bushnell Elite 4200 3-9x40) .
The best mount I think I've found is this one from Leupold ($24.99) that seems to be well reviewed....

....but I'm stumped on rings, and my Google Fu appears not up to the task tonight. After tearing my hair out all over the web, especially on Optics Planet's useless,pain in the ass website, I've ended up back here ( like where maybe I shoulda started in the first place,LOL!!)
I'm trying to keep this as reasonable as possible, but don't want to waste money on junk,either.
Assuming I'm GTG on that Leupold mount, I'm considering these Weaver tactical rings......

My only concern is that the 1" rings don't seem to come any smaller than medium height, and being that the scope is already going to be mounted on a carry handle, I believe I want them as low as I can get.
Anyway, you guys get the idea. As always, any info,advice or recommendations are much appreciated......
