[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Magpul SCAR Selector Switch

Posted: 3/30/2010 5:44:09 PM EDT

I've seen a few SCAR's now with the Magpul fire selectors, was wondering if anyone could show me where to get one or do I just have to call up Magpul?

They were developed for a military unit, as far as I know they are not readily available to the public. The ones i have seen have been on hook up or bro deal. Maybe they will be available soon to the general public, who knows.

The selector switches on SCARs are teeny-tiny.

Some people prefer more sizable switches.

Actually the opposite is true. The SCAR selector is really quite chunky. Your picture only shows the right side of the selector which is shorter than the left to accommodate your trigger finger. The problem some people have with the SCAR fire selector is that it protrudes significantly across its entire length. You can't 'sweep' it with your thumb like you would an AR safety instead you sometimes have to come off the grip in order to push it into position.

Anyways, here it is from the Magpul catalog. Since I started seeing them on rifles around here I just thought they might have been available somewhere.
