The V1 also has that clutch system. |

| I wanna know if they're going to get any more of the short ambi levers in stock with the V2s coming out, and including the milspec lever option. I need one more set, and I haven't seen stock for a while :\. |

Just my luck. I'm hoping they restock again too. . |

Maybe at some point someone comes out with a little cap to cover the threaded hole, maybe they won't, doesn't matter too much to me. |

Long v short weak side selector seems to be an inventory problem at the moment. Just ordered a pair of long levers for an early Arcfire I gifted to my Step son. Bought it back from him 'cause his AR is M&P and he needed cash. Tried to order long/shorts, but they are presently unavailable. And @ELittlefield ... back a little ways, someone linked a 3d printed cap solution that should do your weak side pretty. |

There's no jagged edges like some ambi safeties have when you remove the right side lever. Going off memory here... I think the Franklin binary might have been the worst? Don't quote me on that though. It might have been a generic 45 degree safety I bought. |

Looks like the release has been pushed back another week. The ARC Fires now show "AVAILABLE 4/10 3PM EST (STARTS SHIPPING 4/13)". And a FB post also backs this up. That sucks. I was hoping to have one ordered and possibly received before the Tulsa show. Now I won't be able to order one on release because of travel for the show. Hopefully they don't all sell out immediately. |

Hell, I’ve bought a silencer or two on airplane WiFi while on international flights. I bought my M249S Para using my phone while I was at work in North Carolina. Here’s a pic from my hotel room. I even filed the SBR paperwork from my phone.

@s3igu2 I've been happy with the detent track on my V1 Arc Fires. I want the 0-45-90 V2, but I'm worried about the design change listed to smooth the detent track. I want something that snaps into place well at each setting, and don't want something that might be like the Partisan Selector, where it doesn't snap into place well. Should I be worried? I'd like to buy a few of these when they go live, but don't want to regret doing so. |

Hard to explain but side by side the v2 just feels a bit better but the change isn't massive and alot of people wont even notice. |

That'll be hard to do when driving a work vehicle, however. |

Any chance we could get a cap to cap off an unused ambi selector hole? |

I'm guessing its long and short but we have also made a long and long option. This version actually works with some mil spec style ambi levers also, so you might already have a ambi side lever that will work with the v2. I pulled the ambi lever off my MK18 and have it on one of my v2s tho this only applies to the ambi side as its got the normal mil spec slice now instead of the previous arrow design. |

Check on the ASD site as today was the third, got all excited for a moment as there were multiple versions showing, including the $200 for a 90/180 non-ambidextrous…. And then disappointment when none were actually available. Bummer. Another week won’t hurt things- rather they roll them out correctly and they work well than anything else. My credit card is melted down already this week anyhow on other stuff. |

I really want one of the 45/90s to start off with, but I don't want ambi unless it's the short lever. Hopefully that's an option, and if not then I hope I can find a milspec short ambi lever. Anyone know where I might be able to source one? Will the Schmidt one work? https://classified-defense.com/schmid-tool--ambi-safety--short-lever--semi-auto.html |

I can’t decide if I would want 45/90 or 90/180. I’ve got two decades under my belt learning the 90/180 manual of arms, but I will say the 45/90 seems more ergonomic. |

Same here, but the last few years, I've started buying 45 degree selectors and I strongly prefer them. Being able to go to FRT mode at only 90 degrees and back to safe or semi means I can do it without loosening my grip. An important concession IMHO. |

Very used to the 90/180 after using it for a long time at work. Never had an issue with it, matches the standard AR 90 degrees for semi, so why change? Have way too many AR’s and time on the platform to switch everything to 45 degrees. If I only had a couple, it might make more sense. |

45/90 makes sense on lowers that have the blocker for the selector(such as KAC). I prefer the 90/180 myself. |
