I just ordered three 45* safetys from Brownells and both levers are the short version. This makes no sense for a basic setup. I was shocked and kind of dissapointed at the same time. Do you still swap levers for free? Or do I have to purchase some of the longer variants for the strong side? What made you decide this was best? Let me know.
Thanks,

I can pretty much guarantee that someone switched levers - all of mine have always come with one long and one short as recently as this week.  BAD will take care of this for you, I'm sure.

These all came fresh from Brownells. Unless someone changed them out and mailed them back. Although the packaging and screws etc. look flawless. Regardless I need to get it figured out and get three longer levers. I agree though I have eight other safetys from them and they all came one long and one short. Ah the mini mysteries of life.

I would love ordering a BAD ASS and getting short/short.  All of mine are set up that way.

But have his weapons to hand:
He knows not when he may need a spear,
Or what menace meet on the road.

Anyone want to respond to this? Is this the new norm or did Brownells send me some that someone tampered with?

try shooting them an email [email protected]
I don't think it's the new norm. probably just a mistake.
I do know they haven't been here very much lately due to being very busy with shot, new products, and the new web site. but, they responded to my email promptly.
also, I'm pretty sure they will swap out your lever for you n/c

All of the BAD-ASS-ST from Brownells are Short + Short Levers as default and is shown in their product photo.  There are way too many combinations for them to offer every configuration.  It would be a SKU nightmare.  We had to standardize a single setup for them so it is not too complicated.  We can swap out the lever for you this one for you if you like.  Please email [email protected] and say you're from AR15.com and George said you can get an exchange without our usual $5 exchange fee.  



Sorry we don't visit the forum daily.  Too many forums, FB, IG, Twitter, various email accounts to cover.  Things are very busy here right before SHOT SHOW as well.  The best way is to email or call us.  We always answer our emails and return phone calls.





Thank you for the understanding.
