Remove excess material from LMT ambi safety
I finally got around to putting together the “stripped” MARS-L lower I bought a couple months ago. Used a SOLGW blaster kit for the needed lower parts and Geissele G2S.
Once I got it together yesterday, I noticed the safety seemed to stick a little over halfway to fire; I could force it through though, so thought it might just be a little tighter tolerances.
I dropped a little lube around the safety and started flipping it back and forth for a while. Didn’t fix it, and seemed to see a little wear on the safety detent. I dropped in a new safety detent from spare parts kit I had on hand. No change. Also tried a spare detent spring. No change. At this point, I’d already looked at the LMT safety selector and seemed to see a ‘burr’ (?), but wanted to confirm that the mark hadn’t somehow been caused by the SOLGW kit, since LMT has a stellar reputation.
Today, I pulled out the trigger and replaced the safety lever with a slightly used PSA selector that I took off my SBR a long time ago. Replaced the SOLGW spring and detent. Golden, no snagging.
So to my comfort level, I’ve diagnosed the problem and now have to fix it.
The question: What’s the recommended method of “cleaning out” the LMT safety?
Secondary question: The detent point has been worn down a little, but it positively engages; should I concern myself with replacing the detent?
