AR, DPMS ambi safety: easy install, no gunsmithing required? How so?

Do to my inexperience the question was solved immediately. Ooops my beginner mistake.LOL

The hole for the safety passes all the way through.

Don't I feel dumb now. So unless you have the ambi safety that covers both sides, would you normally have a empty hole? Or I assume a plug goes into it?

The shaft of the safety passes through the receiver. It is normally flush on the right side. An ambi has a thumb piece there. The stop lugs on the left side still control rotation, engaging the left side thumbpiece. You can also get an ambi magazine release. You know, there is a mirror image left hand AR made.

I was looking at the Stag models on ArmsEast, and they are typically 100 bucks more than the right hand version. Plus I want to keep my resale options open, and a lefty rifle limits potential buyers.

I suggest you do a google image search on AR-15 lower receivers, you will see how the hole for safety goes through both sides of the receiver.

Gee thanks, if everyone did that, what point would the forums be?
