Anyone have a suggestion for an aftermarket safety lever that works well with a PDW style stock? A standard one is usable but with the position of the stock struts makes it harder to reach and actuate. I see Troy has come out with a safety lever with a downward angle to it to address this issue, however it doesn’t seem to be available for purchase on it’s own.
Are there any other safety levers out there on the market that might fit the bill?
There’s a push button safety, some people like it, I think it’s a step back. V7 makes one that’s thin, it may work better with the rod on top of the safety.
Talk about unintended consequences. Grafting an MP5 style, 1960s ergonomics stock to an AR produces side effects that render a control less usable. If we made one (never going to happen, I think the “PDW” stock on an AR idea is flawed), I’d relieve the area of the rods directly above the safety to mitigate the accessibility issue.
Elftmann Tactical makes a push-button style that I like. I have one on a carbine I built a couple years ago.
Which stock are you using? Mine clears the seekins ambi.
It’s on a friend of mine’s gun, not sure of the brand, I believe Troy IIRC, but I was mulling over that style of stock for an SBR. In messing with his I noticed that the safety was usable but overall harder to manipulate.
I did find the Troy unit listed on Primary Arms site after all but they are out of stock.
This is a very easy solution to the problem:
If adding a piece of equipment interferes with the operation of the weapon, it’s a downgrade, not an upgrade.
Well I’d be more apt to go with the old style CAR stock, but point taken.
Good man. The old-tymey CAR stocks do what needs doing.
How much are you really going to shoot it with the stock collapsed? I would think you’d want to extend it ASAP.
I have the SB tactical PDW brace and I too have noticed that the safety is a little hard to disengage when it is fully collapsed. Instead I’ve trained myself to immediately extend the brace when pulling the gun up. Thereby clearing the path to swipe the safety. When closed my thumb is just thin enough to hit the safety but if I were wearing gloves it may prove a little too difficult. Hence just giving a sharp tug/pull to the brace easily extends it to a open locked position.
