Gauging intrest for drop in ambi safety

I'm anxiously awaiting this one as well. As a family with lefty and righty shooters this is almost a necessary upgrade. Once available will they be for order on the BAD website or through the forum here? Also will we be able to choose from the existing BAD lever options or will they come with a particular selection? Thanks!
 
Slacker, you can order them from Jon (That Guy) direct. Re: options, we're thinking of the following, it's structured in a manner to take price into consideration:
1. Single lever with end cap
2. Two levers
3. Three levers

With the free lever exchange program, there's no need to purchase the 3 lever kit ;)

The 2 lever kit will become standard for the .223/.308 model this year as well.
 
I received the final prototype of the safety center today. I am very happy with the overall quality of it. It has an excellent fit in the lower. The levers are almost flush with lower receiver.

Once I have kits in hand, they will be available through my website Simple Weapon Solutions

Here are a few pictures of the ambi safety center. The safety center has not been coated so it looks a little rough, but that is only cosmetic.

Just to clarify, the prototype centers are completely in the white, they've not been heat treated, deburred and plated. The spots you see are typical of in-the-white steel components.

Production units will be manganese phosphate coated.

Battle Arms free lever exchange program is applicable with this product, and with any selector we make. For lever exchange, please email me directly roger@battlearmsdevelopment :)

The production run is almost complete and I will have the kits in hand within 2 weeks. In the mean time, those of you who want to, may pre-order a kit with any of Battle Arms Development’s levers.

BTW guys, we designed our selector centers with a deeper groove for two reasons:

1. Better interface with the detent, and improved "ramp" in and out of the detent holes. The depth of the groove was extensively tested to give the smoothest rotation while retaining spring tension.
2. Prevent unintentional removal (as described below)

Though with both levers installed, there's no way to rotate the selector to 45 degrees and remove it, we still deem it a problem that it could be done on a selector, i.e. it should not be so easily removed. If a user only installs one lever without the other lever or a cap, we didn't want this to happen with ours.

One of these days I'll post the development history, and all the prototypes with various detent hole angles, detent groove depth, groove shoulder depth, etc. to shed light on the research that went on behind the scene. Trust me when I say we never thought there was so much to it ;)

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.

Any chance that these will be available through Brownells (they already list the AR15 versions) as they're able to ship to UK purchasers for items under $100?
 
I talked with Battle Arms Development about this. Even though Brownells states they can sell various gun parts if the total is under $100, that is for parts that are already registered and approved for export. The ambi safety selectors are not registered yet, and Brownells will not ship them.

Battle Arms Development is going through process to register the safety selectors for international sale, but it will take time.

The M&P 15-22 while not ambi, the selector on mine is reversable. My help those outside the US
 
The production run is done and the kits are shipping out to me today! I should have them by Monday and then I will ship out the pre-orders. All orders will include some some nice Battle Arms swag such as patches and hats (as long as I don't run out :D).
 
Damn, the preorder window is closed?

I had subscribed to the thread buy my gmail started sending messages to my spam folder.

I sent you an email....
 
Any Fabrication Necessary To Install.

Do you need to do any fabrication to the 15-22 to install the ambi switch or is it a simple swap?
I'm a southpaw new to firearms & am waiting for my 15-22 to come in the mail. :D

The instal is very simple. The kit will include a new detent pin to replace the plastic detent in the lower receiver. So you will have to unscrew the pistol grip in order to replace the detent. With the grip removed you can also replace the safety at the same time. If you run into any problems let me know and I will be happy to help you out.

Check out this install video Brett248Vista made for installing one of my prototypes.

To the member that just sent me a contact message through my website. I receive and error when trying to reply to your email. I will have the kits by Monday next week.

Thanks
Jon

That would have been me.

Thanks
 
I just checked out the prototype install vid. Could someone please post a video showing the installation of the final production version? I ask because I'm new to firearms, am still learning, & am a little concerned about me messing w/ the detent pin. Great looking product, & thanks from a fellow southpaw.
 
Bedrockk,

The install of the final product will be the same. But I plan on shooting a new video of the final product and install within a week or so.
 
I received the kits yesterday and all pre-orders have been shipped!

I have placed an ad in the classified section for those of you who are interested.

Thanks to everyone that show interest and helped to get this awesome product out!
