Just a heads up, AU has them listed. https://armsunlimited.com/colt-ar15-ambidextrous-semi-auto-safety-selector/ In stock today. Hopefully the pic in ad matches stock. |
Can't never could 'til try came along.

You're not wrong friend. Many came out okay on the last 2 batches, time will tell. |

Many came out okay on the last 2 batches, time will tell. From AU's description and the reviews, it looks like that might be what's coming. I think I have enough for future and present builds, so I'll watch from the sideline cheering everyone on. |

They are reversible and have the short long lever, so no hot dog 3/4 of the way onto the plate. From AU's description and the reviews, it looks like that might be what's coming.

I won't hold my breath or anything though. |

"Not in a Colt package, it’s in a zip lock bag. Might be Colt , might not. No cage code on the two I bought. I would pass next time. I will probably return. Doesn’t look like The other cage code marked one that came with my new production A4." Review left for AU on 09/19 So do they have the cage code or not? |

https://coltparts.com/colt-ambidextrous-semi-auto-safety-selector/ A sister company to AU, I've ordered these from them several times and received genuine, cage code marked Colt parts. ETA: Whoops, wrong part/OOS there too, but worth singing up for notifications. |

| So from what I'm seeing the semi auto ambi selectors can either be hotdog or non hotdog. My friends factory AR15A4 he bought a couple years ago has the non hotdog ambi. I just purchased the full auto ambi selector from AU since I haven't ever seen those come hotdog style so it should be a safer bet. Cheaper than the semi auto as well. |
| Another thing I've noticed is that this selector has an F mark on the left side and no S stamped for schmid on the long lever. It's exactly like the current picture on Arms Unlimited page with the exception of the screw. I guess colt is just all over the place with what they make? Sounds like colt. |

Does it have the detent slot on both sides so it can be reversed? |
