Reviews & Ratings for Battle Arms Development Elite AR-15 Ambidextrous Safety Selector — 5 reviews — Page 1

My old safety selector switch was too small, and I was not oriented for a left hand shooter. I saw this and looked at the dimensions and it looked perfect. I ordered it and it came four days later and had it installed before the weekend. I did several dry fires and then took it to the range, and it works perfectly. I am not that mechanically, inclined, but it was intuitively easy to install.

Works perfectly. I haven’t tried to put any fiber optic wire in it, but I don’t think that really matters.

I had purchased one of these previously for an AR upgrade and liked it so much that I bought another one for a new AR build. Installation is simple, operation is positive and the quality on manufacture is evident. I now have both on firearms that I routinely trust my life to, that's how highly I think of this safety If I require another ambi safety in the future, this is the only one I would consider. And the acronym is pretty cool, too!

Ive done a few builds over the past few years and ive found a couple different brands that seem to be the best out there. Radian- Talon 45/90, Battle Arms - Lite, Pro, Elite 60/90 ambi safeties. I own #2 Radians & #2 BAD: Lite & Elite. This Elite version is about as Gucci as you can get after installing the fiber optic rods and they do work. Well made and machined with a simple installation method and on off is tight and crisp. Machining is great and looks good on my Billet ADM UIC Receiver Set. The set screw that keeps dovetail latches in place works well and keeps levers tighter when compared to the Talons that do have a slight bit of play. Talons also have a spring & detent that can come flying out where these you sont have to worry about that. Fiber optic rods are .060" size and I tried TruGlo Red, Green, Orange & Green/Red colored rods. Theres a small set screw on back that locks the rods in place. The 60° throw also lines up better with my receivers pictographs better than the 45° that ends up in between symbols. Haven't got to put it through its paces yet but this is a quality product.
