Gauging intrest for drop in ambi safety

[Brett248Vista]

ThatGuy,

I wouldn't rule out plastic either. Depends on price and quantity. Once a mold it made it may be cheaper to mold them. But if you can get enough orders it may be cost effective (and certainly nicer) to have it CNC'd in hard anodized T6.

I am so glad to see this finally happen, it's been a long time coming for the 15-22.

Great work!

I will keep it in mind. But I think the initial cost will make it not worth doing. I have a local shop that I am going to talk with and they also do injection molding. So I will see what they say. Thanks for the input.

The alloy route will certainly wear better than plastic. The stock safety selector gets pretty tore up by the metal detents. So far I've not had to replace my stock safety but if you look at the grooves they certainly do get worn from the detent. Alloy would be a great way to go, if the cost isn't nuts.

Got my parts from That Guy, going to get them in sometime time soon, updates to follow

It's pretty easy to make your own using the existing safety as a base for the project.

Sure it isn't super hard for someone to sit down and file away at their factory part. But the idea of a "drop in" especially one that is CNC Machined out of hard anno'd T6 is a great idea!

I have one of the proto's and as soon as my Bad "***" levers get here I will be doing a full video review and high res photos

Thanks Jon!

If the price is right, ill take one!!

I agree with that ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Jon was kind enough to send me one of the prototypes to test fit and function. My Battle Arms Development Bad A** Levers came today so I took a few photos and shot an install video. Assembly was a piece of cake and the new unit performs flawlessly. Can't wait to see the final aluminum piece! I'm on the list!

YYYYYEEEEEEEEEEpp

Im curious as to how much the anodized aluminum ones will be.

 

[Jupiler]

Would you ship to Holland? If so count me in!

 

[SimpleWeaponSolutions]

Brett248Vista thanks for making a great video of installation and review of the prototype!

I am making a few changes to the design for ease of machining and updating the blueprints to send out for quoting. Hopefully I will have time to submit them tomorrow.

Still not sure on pricing yet and won't know until I submit the blueprints.

As far as shipping goes, I will ship these anywhere in the world.

If you have any questions let me know.

Thanks
Jon

*Waits in anticipation* You took the effort to make a drop in solution for the community, I commend you on your forethought and ingenuity!

Even the proto, works like a charm!

im in, let me know price

Not to put a damper on things, but isn't this a patent violation since Battle Arms Development has a patent pending and this thing is damn near exactly like it, right down to the diagonal grooves?

Jon is not making the "levers" he is making the selector, the piece between the levers, he just chose to use Battle Arms Development Levers.

If you're shipping to Europe, count me, and several fellow 15-22'ers in!

Hey Jon,
I came over here and made an account JUST to talk about how bad *** this ambi-selector is! I saw Brett248Vista's video on Youtube and he pointed me in this direction. How can I get a prototype of this thing?

 

[SimpleWeaponSolutions]

Hi Scoal Infidel, glad you joined us. I do not have anymore prototypes to send out. However I just finished submitting blueprints to a few local CNC shops. So hopefully after Thanksgiving I can get a production run going.
