Dear Half-Mast,
We saw on Page 38 of PS 729 (Aug 13)
that there’s a new selector switch for the
M16 rifle and M4/M4A1 carbine that lets
a Soldier operate the fire control selector
switch with either hand.
Do we have to wait for the TACOM M4
MWO team to apply MWO 9-1005-319-
50-1 that converts the M4 to the M4A1
to get the new switch? Or can we go ahead
and order the switch, NSN 1005-01-585-
6042, and put it on ourselves?
Mr. M.K.
New switch can be ordered when old one quits working
M16-series Rifle, M4/M4A1 Carbine…
Who
Instas
New
Selector
Switch?
The new
switch is indeed
included in MWO
9-1005-319-50-1.
Hey!
how
about
getting me
that
new
selector
switch?
what a way
to spend my
thanksgiving!
sorry,
your old
switch
is still
good.
you’ll
get a new
one with
the MWO
or if it
breaks.
But when the old switch
for the M4/M4A1 and M16
needs replacing, you can
order either the new or
old switch and your
91F small arms repairman
can install it.
keep using the old switch
until it wears out. The
old switch, NSN 1005-01-
225-0339, is a terminal
item, but stock is still
available.
