Due to damage to hand I have difficulty reaching the selector switch and was hoping that someone made a longer or extended selector??? Thanx

I assume the problem is with your thumb?

Have you tried an ambi selector and using your trigger finger?

Due to injuries the muscles in the web of my hand are shortened and so I cannot open or get around things as well as I should. High thumbs hold on a 1911 I really need a CMC grip safety and I have an L1A1 selector on my FALs for this very reason. I just can't reach the selector (on M4) when shoulder mounted and must completely take hand from grip to put into fire mode. I figured that the 3Gun crowd had something that would work for me.

If not...the ambi might be the way to go thanks!

You could ask rhewitt what he's running in these images:

Thanks Guys... those are what I was looking for only hoping for a bit longer. I guess I need to look at the problem and see how long I need and if its unrealistic try Ninja's suggestion of trigger finger on an ambi.

I'm surprised nobody's made an HK-style selector for the M4...

The DPMS looks similar, but "not quite".

stop using the selector and keep the rifle on fire all time :D :eek:

j/k! ;)

I've seen a friend of mine using his support hand to manage the selector...I dont know why he's doing it that way but maybe it could fit your needs
