The Battle Arms BAD-ASS-ELITE safety selector is a lightweight ambidextrous AR15/M16/M4/AR9/AR10 safety with a channel for a fiber optic marker (brand part no. BAD-ASS-ELITE). Battle Arms Development machines the standard and short levers from billet 7075-T6 aluminum and builds the selector around a Swiss CNC machined steel center core with a reversible 90 degree or 60 degree throw. The fiber optic is not included. The maker states it takes a commonly available .060-inch diameter fiber optic that the buyer chooses in the color he prefers. It is the upgrade for an AR owner who wants a lightweight ambidextrous selector and a choice of fiber optic color.

Key Specifications

• The selector is fiber optic-ready, with a channel and inset screw so the buyer can swap the colored fiber optic tube.
• The fiber optic is not included and takes a .060-inch diameter by 1.5 mm length piece in the buyer’s choice of color.
• The levers are billet 7075-T6 aluminum, CNC machined for strength at low weight.
• The center core is Swiss CNC machined steel with a reversible throw of 90 or 60 degrees.
• The kit has standard and short levers that are interchangeable, so left- and right-handed shooters can be accommodated.
• A short-throw markings sticker is provided, so no short-throw relief cut is needed on the lower.
• It fits AR15/M16/M4/AR9/AR10 platforms and works with triggers that function with a mil-spec AR-15 semi-auto safety.
• The dovetail design and internal locking mechanism leave no screw head to shear off, and a 5/64-inch set screw is designed to resist stripping.
