For those of you that have ambi selectors, where did you obtain them, and what brand did you go with? Post a pic if ya can. As always thanks for your responses

I believe Stag and LMT make Ambi selectors.

a search for Stag Ambi selcector or LMT ambi selector should do the trick.

Ive got lowers with DPMS,Armalite and LMT ambis.

I purchased them from:

DPMS=Midway USA
Armalite=Armalite factory direct or DSG Arms(Armalite factory direct is cheaper for some unknown reason)
LMT=G&R Tactical

Price points are all about the same,with the exception of DSG Arms.

I have installed the stag, and LMT. LMT is all I use now.

JP Rifles also makes 1

I have Stag and LMT on three of my rifles. The LMT's rubbed on the Houge grips that I run. They did wear themselves in after awhile. YMMV

Boost, what is that around your magwell?

does anyone know what company uses a rollmark with a 'C' enclosing an '8'? i have an ambi selector with that mark on the lever and it broke.

Thanks for the great replys.. Everywhere I look they seem to be back ordered or outta stock. Just also wanted to be sure I wasn't going to buy a piece of crap. You know, what would pass for second rate. Also, will the auto fire ambi safety work in the semi auto?

militarymoron · #11 06-07-09, 15:56

well, just don't buy one that has a rollmark of a 'C' with an '8' in it. it was thinner material than another one i compared it to.
an auto selector will work in a semi, but i wouldn't recommend it as it can rotate past the 'fire' detent. there's no reason to have an auto selector in a semi weapon.

Never used an ambi, which one will let you use the selector even if the other side breaks or gets lost or something?

I have a DPMS and RRAs. Both will work without the right side lever. Unfortunately with the RRA there's a setscrew inside the receiver that holds the right side lever in place. I don't care for that, if the screw comes out it's bound for the trigger group, bad thing. I doubt I'll ever use it.

Rock River star ambi, straight from Rock River.

Russell92 · #18 06-07-09, 21:16

Anyone know where to find the LMT ambi selector in stock?

Thanks

below is a pic of mine with an ambi selector.

Just a quick point. As a lefty, I put an ambi selector on my rifle right away. After getting to know the AR, I realized that it can be useful for even a right handed person.

Why. Well, its easiest to put an AR on safe with your trigger finger, and off safe with your thumb.

So for a rightie, engaging the safety is quicker and easier with a selector on the right hand side of the rifle.

On target, safety off, finger on trigger.
Off target, finger out of trigger guard, safety on.

Its just that simple.

I probably put my AR on and off safe more than any other gun I shoot.
