Hi gang,

I have a Type 81 folder. The safety selector is located on the right side, underneath the folded stock! This seems like a really dumb place to put it. I've seen youtube videos where the selector is on the left side. Are there parts kits out there to switch it over?
 
The folder doesn't have the inlet in the receiver to make the left side safety fit properly, and the only left side safety selectors floating around are from people who decided to switch to right hand selectors. Although there is a guy who made and is selling a ambidextrous selector. Google SigmacoCanada
 
It might be because ur Folder is an optics ready model. TI had little choice but to move the safety to the right side to accommodate a properly positioned Warsaw Pact on the left side.

Unfortunately, it's not the optics ready version. I am probably going to drill it to fit an optics mount, as per gnutzguy on Youtube. But that's for another thread!
