I recently completed this lower and noticed that the safety lever does not sit at a right angle to the markings. I've swapped the selector with another one from the same brand and a different brand and they all sit the same. Is it reasonable for me to expect the manufacturer to take this back? It appears that the hole for the selector detent was drilled too far forward. I think it looks like crap.

As stated, slim possibility that the detent channel needs cleaned up on the selector.

Most likely culprit is the detent hole location in the receiver.

i had a Range tool lower with the detent hole drilled wrong, exact same results.

Could it be that the safety hole was drilled in the incorrect spot ?

Depending on how you read the drawing there is a +/- tolerance for a straight line through the selector hole and the detent hole. Read it one way and they are supposed to be inline. Read another way there could be a .003" difference in their location. not sure .003" would cause a problem.

Lol. I was going to ask if it was from PSA.

Love their stuff but I had one like that on a complete pistol. They replaced it no problem but I ended swapping it with an ambi anyways.

.003" is the thickness of common printer paper, so no, would not make a noticeable difference.

For those of you guessing, you were correct. It was PSA. They did replace it. Unfortunately, I had to pay another $20 to my FFL.
