Thank you LowSpeed for the review!
As many of the m4carbinet regulars know, we had to make it incompatible because the 45 degree selector's pointer does not go to 12 o'clock, but more like 10 o'clock, thus creating a liability issue for us, and potentially for the customer if he lets someone handles it that may not be as safe, or aware that it's not a conventional 90 degree throw.
45/90 compatible receivers have a hole on the left of the selector hole to accept the pin block, and the new Fire/pictogram engraving is located at 68 degrees as to be suitable for both 45 and 90 degree selectors.
AXTS, TOS (you know what I mean
) have 45/90 compatible receivers, and soon Spikes too. Our hope is to, over time, through more 45/90 compatible receivers, make the 45 degree arrangement a valid option for lower receivers, whereas now it may be seen as a niche, wild cat and even boutique item.
When folks realize that the concept is nothing new, and has been found on weapons dating back to the Cold War weapons such as FAL and G3, and the manual of arms does not change much (Fire is still a downward press on the lever, Safe is in the same place, except now you can use the tip of your thumb to put it back on Safe without shifting your grips), these facts may overcome the reluctance to give up something old and familiar (the 90 degree arrangement).
But the ironic thing is it's very similar to the old an familiar 90 degree throw, only everything is now much faster.
Iraqgunz, I haven't forgotten about the m4carbine.net staff/mod code yet
You and other mods have been very kind to us from day one, we're grateful for you putting up with us before we became a paying sponsor
