Gauging intrest for drop in ambi safety

[SimpleWeaponSolutions]

I designed a drop in ambi safety selector for the 15-22 and had it 3d printed to see how well it will work. I received the prototypes today and mocked it up. It is designed to work with the Battle Arms Development ambi safety levers. The safety selectors look fairly rough do to the low resolution of the 3d printer used. The fit is a little tight but it functions like it should.

Let me know what you think.

I am interested!

I have the BAD levers on my AR and would have interest also.

I'm more than willing to be a tester for you, my son is a lefty, this would make his day

 

[chuckyuen]

I'd be interested in one.

Hey "That Guy", good job, hats off.. I'm a righty so no need for me but it looks good enough to install. Great job... I would do the ambi if I were back in training, so I can let a righty or lefty use my weapon and take advantage of the ambi. For my own weapons, they are for me, a righty, therefore I don't plan on going the over side... but that's just me..

Why not just buy the real deal?

I thought that standard AR ambi safety drop ins work in the 15-22?

Thanks for the reply's everyone.

The 15-22 lower receiver is wider than the AR15 lower receiver so this prevents you from installing the AR15 ambi safety.

Then I am most definitely interested.

Looks good

I'm interested but would like to see a short video on how to install.

Install is simple, you rotate the old lever between safe and fire, pop it out. Install the new center into the receiver then bolt on the end plates.

isn't the 15-22 something like 10% smaller than it's big brother

Brett248Vista is right on how to do this with your regular safety selector and the ambi safety selector I have made.

Just in case anyone is not familiar with how to swap their safety selector around here is a quick how to.

I only have a cell phone and trying to do a video would be frustrating, so here is a quick run down with pics.

Step 1
Rotate the safety selector where it is between safe and fire.

Step 2
Use a punch or something similar with a flat bottom, such as a hex key, to push the safety selector out.

Step 3
You will insert the factory safety selector with the lever to the desired side of the receiver as it will have a groove for the detent to ride in on both sides of the selector.

My safety selector detent groove is located only on one side and must be installed with the detent groove on the right side of the receiver to match up with the detent. Install the lever on the right side before inserting the selector.

Now it may be tough to push the safety selector in past the detent, you can either use a small flat screw driver to push it down or loosen the handle via the screw in the bottom of the grip.

Step 4
Install the lever on the left side of the selector and you're good to go.

I will be shopping around with some local CNC shops to have this made. I plan on having it made from 6061 aluminum and hard coat anodized. As long as the price is reasonable I will move forward with this. If you have any questions fire away.

looks good,

I would be interested in one as well
