Ambidextrous safety/selector levers...

I went with the noveske magpul mostly because I couldnt find the b.a.d.a.s.s. In stock anywhere. Its currently on route and I am very excited.

One thing to add, shop around. I found mine at alost half the price as most other venders. Saved enough to buy the bad lever with it.
 
My KAC ambi safety selector switch (from One Shot Tactical) is probably the only one that you will find that is in any sort of government supply chain. If you want something "BADASS" then buy tacti-cool parts.
 
I had the Noveske/Magpul ambi safety and sold it.
This is not because it is a bad setup but because it gets in the way of my trigger finger due to my small hands.
The advantage of their setup is that the throw is only 60 degrees.
I bought the exact same lever in a single sided and I'm extremely happy with it.

Your assumption would be wrong since the KAC ambi safety only fits semi auto rifles and doesn't have an NSN.
 
thump_rrr, it is not an assumption. The KAC F/A safety has one NSN while the semi-auto has (or had when I purchased it...) another NSN. I bought it for this reason for a specific build. Once I'm home on block leave I will provide the numbers that you can look into if need be. Cheers.

Sorry to burst your bubble but I was correct when I stated that the KAC semi auto ambi safety doesn't have and never did have an NSN
329

NSN number you supplied is a bipod adapter.

There is no NSN number on the semi auto ambi safety in their catalog. I'll save you the trouble it's on page 12. Other parts on that page, such as the bipod adapter and sling swivel have NSN numbers next to them because they actually have NSN numbers.

Ahh...I see. So pretty much preference, or simply to keep a custom build on that little bit of an extra custom level...

Myself, I think I will be giving the BAD A.S.S. a try. Gonna pick one up next week and see how it works out for me. According to all of the reviews I have read or watched about the BAD A.S.S., I think that I will like it. But I will definitely post back here once I've had a chance to try it on my rifle.
 
Oh well. Like I said, that was the NSN stated on the KAC website when I placed my order. I wouldn't have bought it if it didn't. I'm not too concerned that it doesn't have an NSN as there is only so far that I can take my build with a semi-auto lower.

Try not to get your panties in a knot over my opinion of your preference in part choices.

Any parts with an NSN have been thoroughly tested and adopted by the military. In my experience, they are usually higher quality than many parts on the market. Having said that, there are many parts that I own that have no NSN that are great products. I also have parts WITH an NSN that have been total crap. Generally, if you build a clone of an issued rifle you will be using many parts that have NSNs. It not a big deal, just a minor detail.
