    I have a few different brands, Stag, LMT, DPMS, RRA....the last one I got was a custom made out of a LMT ambi by unclemoak on TOS. He ordered a bunch from LMT and milled them KAC PDW style, and reparked them. Very happy with it.

    What does he charge for those modified LMTs, and do you think he would relieve the other side for a lefty?

    OP-Are you wrong-handed only? If so, buy a Colt Semi Selector #SP63000. It is reversible.

    They were $46 each shipped. I bought two right handed models and 1 left handed for my son who is wrong-handed. So far, I am very happy with them. He said he may do another batch soon.

    not wrong handed, just STRONGLY wrong eyed, hence I have been shooting long guns from the "weak" side for going on 24 years. I made the change while prepping for the USAEUR Rifle Match in mid 80s on a M-16A1. I was glad to see the A2 with it's case deflector. Those half moon burns all over my right cheek where not to bad, but the odd case that got trapped under the chin strap could ruin the transition to the next target. It was a nice summer SD for the three years it lasted, 800 or so rounds a day, 3 days a week for 3 months. That was also one of the places I learned the M-16 was more reliable then given credit for. Other then a wipe down with oil and a rag we didn't clean them for the whole SD period(and some patches through the bore)

    Been using a JP ambi safety for a few months with no issues. Used red locktite on both the adjustment screw and assembly screws. I am by no means HSLD or a 3 gun competitor, but like my JP ambi. It's also nice not to stone/file any surfaces for proper fit between safety and trigger.

    been running dpms ambi safety's on all my rifles for some time now - no issues at all - for what it's worth i like the fact that the retaining screw is in the center of the safety
