M4-Series Carbines . . .
etting a handle on disappearing M4/M4A1 carbine carrying handles has been
a real problem for some units. If the handle isn’t put on right, its nuts work loose
and pretty soon the handle is a goner.
The handle will stick around if you put it on like this:
Make sure the handle is fully
seated on both sides of the rail.
Check the handle nuts every day
for tightness and re-tighten them if
necessary.
Armorers, remember, to store a car-
bine in the rack, you will need to move
the carrying handle back one slot.
Put your fingers inside the handle,
center the studs in the slots and hold
the handle while you tighten both
handle nuts hand-tight.
Seat the handle’s front tab in the
first slot on the receiver rail. Then
fit the handle’s rear tab in place.
