AR-15 ambi safety... Which one?

[Paul_M]

Hey Nutz,

I'm a lefty and need an ambi safety for my AR (Bushmaster lower) . Which of these - or another - would you choose and why? Thanks for your thoughts.

I would add this one to the list:

BAD Ambi Safety Selector

The reason I went with this one is because you get to choose what size and type of levers you want to run. They've also been getting good reviews on the internet.

I'm a lefty as well, and I'm planning on getting this safety too.

BAD A.S.S. or the Noveske-Magpul.

Bad Ass

+1 for the B.A.D. I got the one with the thick lever for my thumb, and the skinny one on the other side so it doesn't interfere with my trigger finger/knuckle

That interchangeable one looks great for lefty's. I hate having the lever interfere with my trigger finger.

Safety...We don't need no stinking Safety

I would vote for the Bad Ass.

OST and I believe Target Sports? should have some too.

Safety...We don't need no stinking Safety

I'm sure that would go over well...

I don't think I've ever switched my AR-15 to safe other than at home to see that the lever moved. You pretty much approach the firing line with the gun unloaded and chamber open, and leave the firing line the same way in the competitions I've been in with it. I've never been in anything where I run around with the loaded AR, just shooting prone and standing.

I can see that happening, especially if you are mostly just shooting from the line. However, using your safety should be automatic. If the rifle is loaded and you aren't immediately about to shoot your safety should be on. In every course I've been on safety use was absolutely mandatory.

in Canada I can't think of too many times you need to safety for an AR15.
should be unloaded to be 'safe' and loaded only when at the firing line

 

[alpha niner]

For the BAD ASS kit, can an average joe install it into an AR or would a gunsmith be more preferred?

 

[jackolo]

It doesn't seem too difficult...

+1 for this config

So much fail in this post I don't know where to start.
