NIB Colt 6933 - Safety Won't Move To Fire...

[SteyrAUG]

So never ran into this one before. Moderate pressure won't budge anything, don't want to force things.

I've never broken down an ambi selector before, wondering if I'm missing something obvious.









Obviously with safety engaged, trigger won't pull and can't drop hammer.

Pull the pistol grip, drop the spring and detent. See what happens.

So LOTS of lateral play, tried to remove the hex head bolt on selector to see what the problem is and snapped it right OFF.

God I hate ambi selectors. Gonna just grab a regular Colt selector and be done with it.

Probably has a takedown/pivot pin detent spring in there.

So found an old Colt selector, dropped it in, problem solved. The ambi selector had about a dime's worth of play back and forth. Glad I wasn't doing a LE demo with this damn thing.

You're better off without that ambi POS anyway. It is simply more that can go wrong as you just discovered.

Pretty interesting. I’d be curious what is wrong with it. I’ve never seen or heard of this with a .mil ambi selector, and most M4A1s have them. I think we have a member here that is currently a small arms repair tech somewhere in the DoD. They might have some info.
