    got my STS today , been using a BAD.ASS safety till now i just did'nt want to buy a new receiver so went with Noveske. really like the positive clicks for safety and fire, mini screwdriver was a non issue since i have a set for eyeglass/electronic repair. as commented on before levers are kinda sharp so took a sharp knife and scraped the edges off, helped some but i intend to get a short lever and thin it a little with my dremel. really like the design factor to work with as many receivers as possible, i have to say the only real issue i would have with a dedicated receiver for a short throw is as follows, price and avalibility. been interested in the 45 degree since it came out but could not find any dedicated receivers in stock when i checked so Noveske wins since i just happened to have a receiver at hand

    NFA Issue for me. Even if I wanted to swap receivers over to a 45-specific, I can't without also registering that receiver as an SBR and I'm not going to do that for something as superfluous as a 15degree shorter throw safety that costs 3x as much.

    I still need to knock down the edges on mine, been busy with handgun stuff, haven't touched the rifle in a couple weeks.

    You can dremel off the steel pin on the bad st selectors, it's the only thing preventing install on regular receivers. I did that last night, took all of 5 min.

    Time for a bump to see if any left handers like myself have any NEW user feedback from running these w/ extended range time now?

    Sorry for bumping this old thread but I finally got my hands on the STS. From the feel of it the selectors seem pretty stout (hard polymer) and I don't see myself breaking them anytime soon. If you do manage to mangle the selector(s) it must have gone through some extreme stuff. My initial concern was with the slot of the plastic selector possibly rounding out over time. But rest assured I don't think that's ever going to happen because of 1. the hardness of the plastic (based on feel), 2. how deep the drum gets inserted into the selector with it's snug fit, and 3. The pin/screw setup. I threw a little purple loctite on the threaded portion of the screw but I really don't think you will need it. The screw is pretty snug threading in and it would probably take a lot of vibration to get it to come undone and actually fall out.

    Only time will tell if this will be a hit and be accepted by all as a part that is "good to go."

    Note: A 2.4mm flat head screw driver is perfect for the job. I didn't have any problems with it.

    021411 thx for the detailed install post, very thorough brother.

    Mind coming back & updating us re. the feel/handling of this switch is after some quality range/training time?

    Looks like the SCAR magpul safety lever just on an AR.

    It works awesome.

    Sure will. I won't be blowing up my rifle or dropping it out of a helicopter but I will be flicking the shit out of it at home and on the range. I'll update..

    Edited to add: If you're the type that likes to change out parts regularly this might not be for you. I can already see removing the selector being a pain in the ass since everything fits together tightly. It might also be a hindrance out in the field so to speak if you need to service your rifle. If that's the case stick to regular selectors as they are plentiful (I hope).
