Does anyone know where I can get an extended/larger Selector Switch for my Stag Model 2T 5.56? I have smaller hands, and if that safety was a little bigger it would make it alot easy to throw it in the heat of the moment. |
I think that one gives the houges or MIAD some grief, no? |
I have this installed on all my AR's with Hogues and Miads....no! |

I may be weird, but I like an ambi safety selector, because I find it easier to use my trigger finger to manipulate (I'm right-handed), and I don't have midget hands. Maybe try that and see what you get. They're pretty cheap. If it sucks for you, sell it on the EE. ETA: You could try the RRA star selector. I liked it better than the standard, but not as much as the ambi. |
SWEET PIC! (You're not much help, though, unless you are gonna pm me a quote to home-make me one)  I am a decent carpenter, but not much of a machinist, yet. |
| That plastic handle is from Home Depot, in garden department, where waterhose accessories are. It actually is one of the waterhose valve handle. Basicly I just file the stock selector handle flat out, drill and tapped a small hole in the center of the stock selector ( either 6-32 or 8-32), use an Allen screw ansd screw the together. I'll see if I can get you some pics tomorrow, it kind of hard to explain. |
No, I understand. I can grind, file and tap things. I had thought it was all steel construction, and I am not too good at shaping steel, yet. I prefer a steel selector, but now that you gave me the idea, I can swipe a steel lever off something else and do the same thing with it, if I see a piece of metal I like. Thx |

You can flatten out the handle, weld a flat piece of steel to the filed down selector handle, and file it down to whatever shape you want, then spray paint or blue it. Goodluck. Tam Or this: http://www.rockriverarms.com/item-detail.cfm?ID=AR0104D&storeid=1&image=sftys.gif |
I suppose I could. I would probably want to plug weld it, but I have plenty of dies and such that I could shape it with, if I were to just give it a try. Oh, and I know a guy that has a chemical/treating business that preps steel for offshore drilling rigs... probably just get him to drop it in his vat with one of the runs of parts. |
