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.

KAC promptly responded to my email and is sending a replacement lever to replace the discolored one. Im very happy with their support and with having 2 other sets of their ambi safeties on LE6920s, I know what a quality product this is and why the full auto version of this product is on the militarys NSN list.

Best Ambi Safety

I'm a Firearms Instructor and I've tried just about every safety on the market and this KAC safety is my favorite. I prefer the low profile selector because It is completely out of the way when your firing, however a quick swipe rearward with the trigger finger and the safety is on. This safety is super smooth and extremely fast to operate. No break in period needed. Don't need to polish it, grease it, cut springs or anything. It is just super smooth from the start. A lot of people over look safeties on the AR15 and don't see the need for an ambi safety and especially don't want to spend the money on it. But I assure you it's very important to have and I highly suggest running ambi safeties on all AR15s. If you don't understand why then go get some training.

My new Favorite

It has a slightly grayer finish then shown. This finish i think may aid in the very positive and smooth operation. Some selector switches require a short break in period. I even know of some who remove coils from the detent spring. Let me tell you, none of this is required on this one. It is ready to go right out of the packaging without any break in or mods. I still own a few different selectors from Battle Arms, Noveske and assorted Mil Spec type. But the Knights by far has been my favorite. Five Stars!!!

Best safety I've used

Very smooth operation, the different end pieces on the right side are great to have and the scalloped ambi safety is the best I've used. Costly, but you get what you pay for.
