Those are nice and all, but goddamn they are expensive.

Not really. Some things are over priced.

But you know the saying..a fool and his money....

That's a nice setup!  

Thank you for your kind words, we do lever exchanges a few times a week, we appreciate the time and effort you put into this wonderful thread that makes what we do all worthwhile

Our products are not cheap, they're not overpriced.  Based on the material used, billet construction, and country of origin (all US made), the selectors are actually under priced.

We make sure that even the packaging (MO) and Grade 8 screws and T10 wrenches (TX) are made in the US.  We don't play up the patriotic card, nor we do use this as justification to charge more, those of you in manufacturing know what it costs to have anything made in the US

As a company, we don't put much emphasis on profit, but on quality and customer satisfaction.  With these two accomplished, we don't need to worry about profit.   A lot had gone into a selector that most users don't notice, it's overbuilt in every way.  We support our customers like they are the most important people in the world (because they are), and ensure their experience, from beginning to continued, daily usage, and every email or phone call from us, is a happy one.  

The lever exchange program is one such example.  I don't believe any company would exchange an old, used, beat up, and painted part for a new as company policy, but that's how the lever exchange program works.  No strings attached, it's there for the customers' benefit only.

Thank you guys for your support, we've been pretty quiet last year, but this year will see new products we were working on in 2011

The 45 degree short throw selectors are not compatible with non-45/90 specific receivers.  We had to put a "lawyer pin" in the short throw selector center to prevent its use on a 90 degree receiver, because the position marker doesn't point to the 12 o'clock FIRE engraving.

It may sound stupid to you and me (it is), but we just don't need to open doors to litigation.  On a 45 degree selector, the position marker points at 10 to 11 o'clock, making a drop-in short throw selector a liability issue for us.  For months, the 45 degree selector was on the brink of being shelved because of it.  the "lawyer pin", as much as we don't like it, actually saved the 45 degree selector project.

The infamous lawyer pin:



The pin is the only thing stopping it from working in any standard AR receiver.  It voids the warranty to remove the pin, though it doesn't weaken the selector.

The regular 90 degree selector works with any AR receiver that uses standard AR FCG parts.  For S&W M&P 15-22, we'll have a new selector center for the 15-22 soon

We'll do it again this year if you guys are up for another round

Thank you guys

If you're buying a receiver from ar15.com or AXTS, please remember you can get a 45 degree selector with it from them at the same time for about $20 less

The SW M&P 15-22 should be out about the same time as the 7th and 8th levers, in little more than couple of months
