Ambidextrous Selector > Build It Yourself

Does anybody other than DPMS make Ambi Selectors?

I just got one, and it is junk. I had to grind the detent track to get rid of a false selection between Fire and Safe.

Also, the lever on the R/H side sticks out from the receiver, about .040".

I was a little surprised at the poor quality, since my original selector was from a DPMS LPK, and it worked great.

Hopefully, someone has some experience with this issue, and can throw a newbie a bone.

I bought a Stag, perfect fit. LMT is good too.

Thanks to JoshAston and Marsh_Rat.

Marsh_Rat had the answer I was looking for, since he actually has one. I will try to find a Stag. The site that Josh posted a link to is Out Of Stock.

Crap, I just ordered a DPMS ambi about an hour ago from Brownells.

I have Stag and LMT both works great.

My first one which I don't know who made them, the right side lever had a protruding pan head fastener which bothered me, the Stag and LMT have flush head screws and feels much better.

I've bought several DPMS ambi safeties over the last 8 or 9 years and not got a bad one. They all have worked fine.
But the last one I ordered and installed was probably 2 years ago.
If you get a bad one from Brownells, they will take it back.

Don't worry about it. I've got rtwo of the DPMS pieces and they're both fine. The original poster may have gotten a bad one, but DPMS would have made it godd if hew'd sent it back. But apparently he'd rather spend more money than let the maker fix an out of spec product..

I have a DPMS selector .It works perfect I just bought it a couple of months ago.I put blue loctite on the hex head screw threads just to make sure it does'nt get loose.I think you got a bad one you should return it for a replacement.
