Which Ambi-Safety Selector do you like?

Recommended Posts

Battle Arms Development Ambi Safety Selector - BAD ASS

 

I have one on each of my ARs. Worth every penny. The selector is slick and smooth in its movement with positive clicks holding it in place. The standard short lever on the Ambi side is perfect, but you can choose different styles if you prefer.

I just ordered a BAD Ass to install in my M&P-15 Sport.  Unfortunately it appears to be 1/8 of an inch or so too wide -- when installed the selector on one side doesnt fit flush and there is some play and it doesn't have a "click" when engaging.  The lower is supposedly milspec.  Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong?  I contacted their customer service and they asked for pictures, but I thought I would check here.

Are you sure you installed it in the right orientation? Detent and spring properly put in next to the pistol grip channel?

 

Almost sounds like you installed it backward

 

A little play is normal

It was my screw up.  I think I had the levers installed the wrong way. Works great.  I agree that it is way overpriced.  But as a lefty i find it very helpful.  I have the long lever installed on the right side and short on the left.  I put it on fire with my the thumb on my left hand/shooting hand and make safe with my index finger.

I'm not saying the quality is bad but I do cringe on prices of small parts that can be churned out like butter. While I will agree with that statement for the most part, I never seen any safety levers that were shoddy even if they were 20 bux. Some of these companies see folk with that mentality coming a mile away without binoculars. We are not talking about more crucial parts like barrels, firing mechanisms or others parts for instance. TETO...

Oh and why are you so giggly feeling up safeties? Lol...

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
