I had a chance to play with this item yesterday. This is one of the best mods for the CZ to date.

NEA Ambi Safety - available now

Rather than remove the ridge on the receiver why not put a bevel on the bottom of the ambi lever? That should allow it to slide past the ridge if it comes into contact with it.
Just had an idea. See if you can find a couple washers and put them under the left side selector before installing it via the roll pin. That will remove wobble and side to side play.
Picked up my new ambi-safety, and sling plate yesterday and installed them last night.
Installation went smoothly, as I followed Stevo's instructions and beveled off the corner of the right hand selector. That flat spring is a ##### to press down, and the safety takes a lot of wiggling to get in. Also the trigger arm has to be pushed down and forward to clear the safety axle, just as Stevo suggested.
By and large I like it but ideally the right hand safety would be better if it could be ON in the 9 oclock position and pressed down with the left thumb, kind of a 1911 set up. Then you wouldn't even need one on the left side. Just my 2cents.
Anyway thanks a lot NEA, My guns pretty much ready for action now. (Or do I need a light?.....)

Why would you want to use your thumb on the right side to move it off safe? You'd have to readjust your grip afterwards.
I have my left side set up to press down. Index the lever at 3 o'clock as you're looking at it from the left side and you can flick it down with your thumb. With the right side in the fire position it's really easy to reapply the safety with your index finger.
If you want a light you can mount a ring on one of the add-on side rails for the holey lower or use the barrel clamp like this:

I'll be picking one of these up! Looks great!
I was trying the right safety from 9-0clock, and it swept off easy with my left thumb, of course it doesn't do anything to the insides from that position with this safety.
As for the light, that barrel clamp looks like the way to go (I\ve even got a Fenix T1 to put on it, thanks for the pic.
Are you left handed?
Oh Yeah.
On careful consideration of safety position, I've decided your'e right it does take some grip re-adjustment from 9-6 on the right. I prefer 6 to 9 oclock on the left. Luckily that's whats set up and I don't have to mess with the roll pin.

For those of us with the pre-production versions here's something you can do to eliminate any wobble of the LH lever.
I ground one side of a small washer flat so it would fit inside the receiver rail and found a tiny split lock washer in my junk box. With those two washers on the shaft you have to press firmly down on the lever to get the holes lined up. It makes using a pin to line up the holes pretty much mandatory. I used a finishing nail. I also beveled the inside-lower edge of the LH so it wouldn't catch on the receiver rail, but that's a bit of overkill as it no longer comes into contact.
Charles Martel has advised that the lever-to-shaft fit will be tighter on the production versions, thereby making this mod irrelevant.

The roll pin in the LH lever?
The one in the picture is the one that comes with it from NEA. I use a finishing nail as a punch to get it out.
I'm right-handed.
It's excellent this way. I flick the safety off with my right thumb and pull it on with my index finger. I never have to change my grip. It's very slick.
I suppose you could grind off the lever on the right side. I can't see any point to that because you'd have to do all the work with your thumb then.
I've been running a ambi safety for a little over a year now, I have mine in the traditional configuration, both paddles pointing rearward. As Stevo says, I engage with my thumb, release with trigger finger. Very natural.
I'll be installing a NEA one in the next month or so after our test rifle comes back from refinishing.

They're finally back. NEA has made improvements to the design and alterations to ensure that it is compatible with all models. Get them while you can.. we've been waiting a long time for these to come back to the store and they're a hot commodity.
