So due to a machining issue on an 80%er I find that running the spring and detent for the safety is gonna be an issue. Any other options out there? Just run without the safety selector? Junk the whole lower? What say you? Thanks for any help Why can't you use it, a little more information would be good, what issue are you having? I don't recommend running it without a safety. As a firearms safety instructor, running a modern gun without a safety is asking for trouble, post some pictures and explain what the problem is. |

Drill the other side? Someone here had the detent path machined on the other side of the safety.

Not one of the $15 ones, but it is one ive had around awhile. $25 tactical machine if I remember correctly. I did just barely open up it up, detent is in and working just worried it might crack open later and jam things up. Im gonna run it as just a dedicated .22lr. Ive got others that came out much better, but I hate to scrap it over something so minor. JB weld might be worth a try. Thanks Guys. |

Been there done that. I did it on my first 80% and got over anxious while using my cordless drill on the FCG pocket and the 3/8 drill bit walked to the side and breached the safety detent hole.
I fixed it with JB Weld as other have suggested. However, if you want to make the drilling easier first place a small wooden toothpick in the hole and then fill with the JB weld. Then drill out to the correct size. The wooden toothpick helps with the drilling. There are actually two sizes to the hole but don't worry about that as you only want to close the hole up enough where the detent and spring stay inline with the safety. |

dont use JB weld theres some shit that you can buy from autozone that comes in clay type bars. mix it up and the shit sets up like a friggin rock. might as well be aluminum. might be stronger and more sturdy for this application than jb weld. not sure of the name. good luck.
