AR-15 AMBIDEXTROUS SAFETY KIT Reviews & Ratings

Knight's semi-auto safety lever gives true ambidextrous selector operation to your AR. Comes with three different right-hand levers, so you can choose the exact size/position to suit your personal shooting preferences. Choose a full-size right-side lever that mirrors the left-side lever, a low-profile, semi-scalloped lever that is minimally obtrusive, or an indicator arrow that gives instant visual verification of the rifle's firing mode. Easy to install, too: with the selector fully installed in the gun, you simply remove a recessed setscrew to swap the right-hand lever. All-steel construction to handle hard use, with smooth, positive operation.

SPECS: Fits - Standard AR-15 or SR25/LR-308 lower receivers.

My 3rd set since 2012, but...

This is my third set of the KAC ambi safety, but this set had 2 minor issues. There was so much pre dipped blue locktite it was a total pain to get the set screw in all the way. Go a little, back out, wipe excess loctite, go a little further. Truly thought I was stripping the threads, but all was fine. The second was the aesthetics of the larger thumb safety. The finish isnt applied evenly and it looks discolored. Im still keeping the set, as Im addicted to using my index finger to place the safety back on safe, but the overall quality was less than the two sets I purchased 7 years ago.

Quality Steel Safety Lever

Installed this safety on my CMP "Alternative Rifle" for EIC Competitions. Perfect drop-in fit in my Anderson lower with a Geissele High Speed NM trigger. As others have stated, the color is more of a phosphate grey than dark black. The finish has a texture that promotes good contact. It is not slick. The 4 out of 5 stars is because the color is a stark contrast to the lower. It is not shiny or reflective. I plan on buying this again.
