I need a safety lever stop built onto a trigger guard, does such thing exist? My rifle didn't come with one, So I installed one and it caused feeding issues.  This is what I am talking about, once installed it moves the magazine slightly lower, Making my rifle unable to chamber a round. |

When installing these as part of a build you are supposed to fit them by grinding them down until the magazine installs properly. The magazine feed lips are supposed to be sitting right below the rails.
They are not plug and play... ETA: If they installed the trigger guard without the selector stop they probably trimmed the mag catch to make it work, which means that now if you try to install the selector stop the geometry of all the parts is wrong and your mag is sitting too low. You might have to end up installing a new selector stop and mag catch... |

No one I've helped has ever had to grind a selector stop when building a rifle. |

ATI milled ak 47 http://www.xtrememachining.biz/products_ak.html Pretty disappointed so far with this AK and the selector stop missing and requiring fitting to install. The receiver gets very hot when shooting,non chrome lined barrel, screws for the rear trunnion, butt stock, and trigger guard. My other stamped receiver does not does not seem to get hot, uses rivets and feels of better quality.I bought this hybrid milled AK thinking it would be a upgrade. Boy was I wrong. |
I suggest you remove it.

milled receivers have the selector stop as a pin protruding from the receiver. Galils use a longer hammer pin that protrudes. Stamped receivers use the selector stop plate. Lack of proper fitting of the selector stop plate is the primary cause of bolt-over-base malfunctions, particularly in 5.45 and 5.56. I have to fix a couple every month. The smaller rim diameter gives less room for error than in 7.62. I fit ALL selector stop plates, because it is far easier to test the fit before riveting, then to have to unrivet the TG to correct it.

it also has the wrong cleaning rod, or incorrectly installed, and what look like button head cap screws instead of rivets on the trigger guard. Hmmmm . .. . .
nevertheless, a milled receiver is SUPPOSED to have a selector stop pin (rivet actually) just forward of the trigger axle |

The web site ones are not good enough. |

The ATI receivers I've seen will not accept a standard 15 5/8" cleaning rod because they do not bother to cut the relief for it in the face of the receiver. Saves money and/or time, I suppose, but it looks like ass.
J&G was selling them for a while with cut cleaning rods on them so that it looked somewhat normal. Other sellers just let it stick out past the holder in the FSB, like the one in the link above. |

This seems to be a problem when building with some flats...The fact, as stated by the op, is that the rifle was iniitially built without a selector stop so I imagine that the only way they got it to work was by filing the mag catch... IIRC OOW receivers also. |
