For those of you that have ambi selectors, where did you obtain them, and what brand did you go with? Post a pic if ya can. As always thanks for your responses

I believe Stag and LMT make Ambi selectors.

a search for Stag Ambi selcector or LMT ambi selector should do the trick.

Ive got lowers with DPMS,Armalite and LMT ambis.

I purchased them from:

DPMS=Midway USA
Armalite=Armalite factory direct or DSG Arms(Armalite factory direct is cheaper for some unknown reason)
LMT=G&R Tactical

Price points are all about the same,with the exception of DSG Arms.

I have installed the stag, and LMT. LMT is all I use now.

JP Rifles also makes 1

I have Stag and LMT on three of my rifles. The LMT’s rubbed on the Houge grips that I run. They did wear themselves in after awhile. YMMV

Boost, what is that around your magwell?

militarymoron · June 7, 2009, 5:31pm

does anyone know what company uses a rollmark with a ‘C’ enclosing an ‘8’? i have an ambi selector with that mark on the lever and it broke.

Thanks for the great replys… Everywhere I look they seem to be back ordered or outta stock. Just also wanted to be sure I wasn’t going to buy a piece of crap. You know, what would pass for second rate. Also, will the auto fire ambi safety work in the semi auto?

militarymoron · June 7, 2009, 7:56pm

well, just don’t buy one that has a rollmark of a ‘C’ with an ‘8’ in it. it was thinner material than another one i compared it to.
an auto selector will work in a semi, but i wouldn’t recommend it as it can rotate past the ‘fire’ detent. there’s no reason to have an auto selector in a semi weapon.

gogetal3 · June 7, 2009, 7:57pm

agreed, however I seem to come across the auto ambi’s and they are actually in stock, thanks again

Never used an ambi, which one will let you use the selector even if the other side breaks or gets lost or something?

Fireglock · June 7, 2009, 8:42pm

I have a DPMS and RRAs. Both will work without the right side lever. Unfortunately with the RRA there’s a setscrew inside the receiver that holds the right side lever in place. I don’t care for that, if the screw comes out it’s bound for the trigger group, bad thing. I doubt I’ll ever use it.

Rock River star ambi, straight from Rock River.

Russell92 · June 8, 2009, 1:16am

Anyone know where to find the LMT ambi selector in stock?

Thanks

gogetal3 · June 8, 2009, 1:51am

And…you were 100% correct. I wasn’t. But it’s ordered now! Along with an extractor upgrade Thank ya.

below is a pic of mine with an ambi selector.

Just a quick point. As a lefty, I put an ambi selector on my rifle right away. After getting to know the AR, I realized that it can be useful for even a right handed person.

Why. Well, its easiest to put an AR on safe with your trigger finger, and off safe with your thumb.

So for a rightie, engaging the safety is quicker and easier with a selector on the right hand side of the rifle.

On target, safety off, finger on trigger.
Off target, finger out of trigger guard, safety on.

Its just that simple.

I probably put my AR on and off safe more than any other gun I shoot.
