[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Problems with AMD-65 safety selector

Posted: 9/9/2004 10:15:06 AM EDT

I was test fitting my FCG components into my OOW receiver and discovered that the squarish peice that hangs down from the selector (inside the receiver) hits the rear of the trigger. Not the portion that you pull with your finger, but the extension behind the trigger (a diagram would be VERY usefull, yes?). This results in the selector not being able to be put on safe. Anyone have any ideas on this, or had the same problem??

Thanks,
Dean.

Most selectors are modified for semi use by grinding or cutting out that little piece that is binding up on your selector. If you have a semi selector in another rifle it would be easy to see what I am talking about.

Agreed, had to trim mine down a bit.

Great. Thanks. I had a MAK90 years ago, but its long gone now and I have nothing to compare to now.
Are there any diagrams floating around that show how the rest of the FCG goes together?

This diagram will help. Ignore the forward most naughty pivot pin and hole.
