M305 selector switch

There are two people/companies making them.

Big time company:

Guy doing them, somewhat cheaper

He will send you pictures of his selector.

Hint: Hawk charges $20 more US if you want the switch instead of the circular lock. If it doesn't matter to you, then the price is the same. Hawk's switch kit is called FWH-S I think.

They look great but are STRICTLY cosmetic. They will also help keep the op rod spring pin from walking if you're using a Norinco in a US stock.

Hope this helps.

Cheers from South of the border.

The two sources I gave above START with USGI parts but demill them into just cosmetic additions. Being from NC (Howdy), I don't know if this will cause you any trouble in importation. If so, Fulton Armory (under asscessories) makes one from scratch but it is NO WHERE near as nice as the others. IMHO, I would think the ones from the first company/person I mentioned would just be scrap metal since they are no longer M14 parts as such.

Cheers, Floyd
 
Sparrowhawk.com makes a big deal about their parts coming from demilled USGI receivers. The Canadian feds take a dim view of "machine gun parts" coming across the border. (It keeps the children safer, you know.) I would not try to import their kit - at all. Don't know about the other option suggested.
 
Only drop-in parts that will convert an unrestricted or restricted firearm to fully automatic are prohibited. Full auto fire control parts for the M14, M16, or any other firearm that will not function in an otherwise legal firearm are still legal. These kits are clearly kosher according to the law. Unfortunately, Canadian Customs does not directly refer to the law, but to an interpretation made by their agency for them. If you want to know for sure, phone and ask them. Make sure you emphasize that they are cosmetic and non-functional.
 
One of the best cosmetic selectors switches is from Fulton. Fills the cutout perfectly. Have 'em on both my Sages. With Hawks you either have to do some grinding or have a USGI Op Rod.
 
How come there are two different kinds of selector switch on the sparrowhwak site? I assume there's some kind of history behind the two styles.
 
The round knob is a lock-out device - with it installed the rifle could not be used as a full-auto (I'm told most M-14's were issued to troops with the lock-out installed). The flat tab with the bump on it is the push-and-turn selector used on rifles that retained full-auto capability.
