Well the link to your site helps too!! LOL That'll give me something to do for a bit!
Pretty sure SWS does not make a larger mag release button, but you can get what you want and support a forum guy.. NDZ Performance - a member - provides one. Even have them on eBay.

They are working great.

I even contacted you for my regular AR's and set them up the same way as I set up my M&P 15-22.

I love them, I'll snap some photo's and show you the set up I went with.

Can we go ahead and purchase the plastic version?

I just installed the noveske sts 60 degree magpul ambi safety. It fits and works perfectly. I have the same on my AR.

One of my reasons for going with the S&W M&P 15-22 was its ability to accept real AR add-ons and upgrades.

The lack of the "click" when using a real safety is because of the pin used... Not the safety. If you use an AR pin and spring, you will have your "click". The M&P spring is weak and the pin is polymer.

When I first installed the levers, they were tight to manipulate. But that was simply because they were new and have to be worn in a bit. They function 100% now. I guess you could pre-wear them with a dremel or some sand paper if you wanted to speed up the process. I think that the S&W upper is a fraction (just a fraction) wider than a real AR.

The ambi safety levers were slightly the same way on my actual AR... But not as bad.

But like I said... 100% now.

Question... Since the default safety can be flipped to be on either side... Is it just having a lever on both sides?

Idea... buy another OEM safety... Shave off the lever... (Leaving a small notch protruding) Drill a small countersunk pilot hole through the new safety lever and into the existing safety. Cut a notch into the safety (female end) that matches the one you cut in the lever (male end) and just screw it on with a screw that would sit flush in the countersunk hole you drilled. Booya... Ambi safety.

Just an idea rather than remanufacture an entirely new lever.

...and yes, the 15-22 receiver is slightly wider than a milspec AR lower.

I won't be getting rid of my BAD selector anytime soon. They can be set up to fit the user perfectly with the lever options and they won't wear the plastic from rubbing the side of the receiver. The KNS detent and the slight changes BAD made to the channel the detent rides in make this the smoothest operating lever on the market.

Awesome! That's what I get for assuming those posing the problem have searched for a solution already instead of soliciting others to so it for them. Thanks for the info and sorry you had to be the one to do the searching for the other posters. Lol
