Hey everyone,

I know it has been a common complaint about the safety selector on the ACR. Did a search for it, and could not find anything on here. Just wanted to see what anyone did to there safety to make it more comfortable. I have a rash on my right trigger finger by the knuckle from it rubbing on it as I was shooting.

Thanks for any input.

most people that have a problem with the safety switch file it down on the one side to make it less problematic

I was thinking of doing that. I just hate to eliminate the ambidextrous ability of the rifle. I'm sure someplace will make a replacement that is better soon enough.

I just bobbed it on the ejection side. It puts it out of the way of my trigger finger and it can still be used in a pinch from that side.

I don't care much for it. I spent years using the m4/m16 left handed it became awkward to use an ambi type selector on my own ar and then the acr. Its like im training from scratch since I never had to use it the way it was designed. I would like to see different varieties to mix and match available one day. But id like alot of things.

I think that I will end up grinding down the right side. I'm sure in the future that someone will make new, better ones.

Does anyone have any pictures of how they modified theirs?

Hello callmecolt.


i think you have probably heard a compagny called "battle arms development" with their BAD-ASS selector, right ?

because apparently theyre actually developing their new ambi-selector for the acr so... i think you should wait a little bit but it will be worth of the weight.

Where did you hear that? That's awesome. I'd definitely be in.

I have an email from them stating they need to talk to Remington before them make then so they dont step on any toes. They are definatley interested in making them though.

Nice I should have gotten that for my ar but got some cheap one my store had in stock and the levers don't sit parallel. Harder to use and they cheapen the look. If this company develops something it'll have a few different combinations of levers to interchange I would think.

Read about the issue, but never really had a problem with it myself. Thought I'm not wrong-handed, I still enjoy most of the ambidextrous features far more than I thought I would. Greaty ergos on this thing!

 

[callmecolt]

Yea, maybe I will just wait. I figured there would be one en route very soon. Still waiting on barrel kits..... jeeze.

 

[callmecolt]

i can make one for fun but i doubt that i will ever sell anything like a replacement safety,remember when bigdog was making them out of ducktape

If you made something up that was good to go, I would buy one. I am sure others would too.

Battle Arms Development is supposedly working on metal selectors for the ACR...

I'll jump in line for that.

I have an email out there, hopefully they are moving foward with it.

 

[callmecolt]

Hopefully they are. That would be something I got right away.

Now that'd be something.

 

[hwill]

They haven't started yet, they are finishing other projects.

 

[Uxi]

Yeah, the email they sent replying to my suggestion said it was the next project. I am hoping for 45 degree and matching Coyote Brown
