Ok. I will try again. I am a disabled Marine Warrior. I need help with my M-4 to make it a little easier to handle. I lost my left arm, and some strength in my right arm. I have some ideas but have no sounding board. Have tried other forums but to no evail. Hope I will find something here. Thanks.

An A1 profile barrel and a Cavalry Arms lower is a very lightweight package. The difference between that set up and a standard M4 is noticable.

Thank You for your service to our country.

I will also add my extremely sincere thanks from my family and myself for your painful but galant sacrifice.


I wish I had some more useful suggestions regarding the M4. Perhaps a good tactical sling, but you would likely have thought of that, I suppose. Hopefully someone will have a better idea. Do you have any type of prosthetic or anything to stabilize the weapon while reloading and such? Might help others understand exactly what you need.

I hope you get some answers to your question, not sure I can help there.

BTW, where you with 1/8?

I was with 81s Plt, Wpns Co 2/8 and got back on the ground in Beriut (my second time there) to replace 1/8 in Nov of 83. I recall the 81's Plt in 1/8 lost a full section in the bombing. I take it you were with Dragons Plt?

Either way, did you get some info to help out with your carbine?
