During the past few weeks, I have seen three AR safety lever issues. None have been with my guns. I don't have nor like ambi safeties. All, but one, of my builds have the standard one piece safety that comes in parts kits from BCM or SOL. I assume they are made by Schmid. They work and I have never had an issue. To me they are part of my KISS thought. I did install a FC Q lever safety with the button on the off side. I have not run that lower hard so have no opinion.
In all three cases, a lever had come off. I assume if ambi, then the safety could be operated with the other side? One wasn't an ambi, so it was an issue. One locked on safe and one was on fire. In all three cases, I was approached and asked if I had tools, so I did look at the gun and the issue. So, with that said, are these aftermarket, ambi, bigger and or "better" lever , short 60/45 degree etc safeties more of a fad? Are they really appropriate for a hard use weapon or just tactical testical BS? Or perhaps game gun appropriate? Looking for thoughts and to be educated.
Cheers, Steve
