silverado427 10,680 Posted December 4, 2014 Question. I just swapped my standard safety for a ambi safety and I noticed that it will flip to the auto select mode. Is this a problem? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vicious 138 Posted December 4, 2014 Hear that? That's the sound of the swat team assembling on your lawn. IANAL, but does it do the bad thing in that position? If it is still only semi-auto function (and the part was not market as part of a full auto kit), I'd assume you are fine. ETA: This seems like they figured it out: http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_4/515418_Three_position_safety_.html Post 13 is interesting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

silverado427 10,680 Posted December 5, 2014 I removed it. It says semi on the bag it came in. Thanks all. http://looserounds.com/2012/04/19/review-dsa-ar15-ambi-safety/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FLHX 1 Posted December 5, 2014 I always use the BAD ambi-selector. They come with different levers and can be setup the way you like it. They are a bit expensive but as a lefty I always use them and for the mag release I use Troy. http://www.battlearmsdevelopment.com/products/safety-selectors Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1LtCAP 4,262 Posted December 5, 2014 the tac con 3mr comes with the selector switch capable of going to the third position.....supposedly 50 state lega. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
silverado427 10,680 Posted December 5, 2014 Looks like I'm going to try a bad ambi selector. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lalo 13 Posted December 5, 2014 Looks like I'm going to try a bad ambi selector. You won't be disappointed. Worth the money in my opinion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

njJoniGuy 2,131 Posted December 5, 2014 As a southpaw, I have installed the DPMS ambi safety http://www.midwayusa.com/product/217314/ and the Norgon ambi mag release http://www.midwayusa.com/product/918403/ on all my AR platforms, including the AR pistols. The selector NEVER goes to the third position. And thank you, Gene Stoner, for putting the bolt release on the proper side of the gun! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DirtyDigz 1,811 Posted December 5, 2014 I note for the discussion that there is a vendor selling a drop-in bump-fire (excuse me, "positive reset") trigger with accompanying "evil 3rd position" safety that claims ATF approval: https://tacconusa.com/ https://tacconusa.com/library/files/TAC-CON-TM-ATF-Compliant-Letter.pdf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeff47 30 Posted December 27, 2014 I took a carbine 3 class at GFH a few months back in PA and one of the instructors lent me his carbine with a tac con trigger for the final exercise. I suck at bump firing but it was very easy to fire 2-3 rounds at a time in a controlled manner. It was pretty cool, the only downside is that I had to transition to pistol before anyone else.

jeff47 30 Posted December 28, 2014 No, Tac Con even includes a letter from the ATF declaring it to be legal. It just creates an incredibly light trigger pull and extremely short trigger reset. Its very controllable and a lot of fun though I would probably recommend against installing it on your defensive carbine that you keep next to your bed at night because it has such a light trigger pull.

Rob0115 1,105 Posted December 28, 2014 BAD ASS all the way. I use them quite a bit. There's an eBay seller who has them for a good price and free shipping. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
