Looking to see if anyone in the group has a FRT in there clone build that has a clone correct milspec safety selector. Caveat is it has to be a clone correct safety selector that works with a cassette style FRT like Rare Breed, Partizan, etc and when its on safe its safe, semi its semi, and flip back to the third position its FRT mode.

I run Arizona Regulators in my clones since I can use a correct trigger, selector and pins.
 I know there is a way around the pin issue with the Partisan types, but not the triggers.

They have been out of stock at Datum for quite a while,
The Triggered company has the oops selector, I just order
Those and dimple them for my 601 clone.

Just grab a M16 safety and modify it for a Partisan. Or get one of the metal Kabuto copies and use them.

I had to have them built by my gunsmith out of m16 mil spec safeties. It was very hard to get the holes in. Came out good. I don't think he would do it again lol.

What has to be modified with the gi selector?  I have a similar drop in frd that is supposed to function with standard m16 selectors.  I guess I will find out when they arrive.

The partisan doesn't use a centered disconnector, so the M16 safety needs half the little leg that depresses the disconnector ground off. I've done several with a dremel.

FYI the dimples are from machining between centers.

Should be restocking some soon.

What's the pin work around?  I have a disruptor in an all original XM16E1 on a Nodak Spud limited lower and would like something original in appearance.

Datum has the pin sleeves you want and they are on sale, just put the new sleeves up against the old
Ones and push the old out with the new sleeves, easy.

@shark16

That's messing with my OCD a bit...

Can I send you a correct one? No charge. Just message me your info.

Should look like this, on center, drilled with a #1 60 degree center:

Although he went out of business due to Franklin Armory, I have an In the field defense retro trigger in both my retro rifles, they used all usgi parts. Occasionally they come up in the EE and there is a guy who sells the same exact design over on gunbroker.

It should be noted that it was a binary trigger system and not a forced reset system.
