Parker Mountian Safety Lever

[christopher78]

Hey all,

If you were like me and got a set of PMM safety levers and found them too tight in comparision with the factory, you might find the following interesting.  This is taken directly from their website:

NOTICE: As of 4/14/2017 PMM Has been notified by a Select Group of customers(1 out of an estimated every 50) that after installing the PMM Scorpion EVO safeties onto their Pistol/rifle the Safeties are Very tight and impossible to articulate.

After  a in-house Evaluation of a Trigger pack with this issue PMM Will make some  geometry Adjustments  on the NEXT production run of Safeties to adjust for the above issue.

If you are a PMM customer who has experience this issue Please send and E-mail direct to jarod@parkermountian machine, in the Subject line Put  "Tight Safety" and I will add you into my Data base of customer to contact and send a set of Gen 2 levers to free of charge for testing.
?Thank you for your continued support and patronage of PMM ~Jrod.

Yeah me and him talked a lot about this.  They sent me a second set which did fit slightly better.  (I still had to modify the levers, and the gun to get them to work)  He was building the levers off a gen 1 gun and evidently there may be some slight dimensional differences in "some" of the gen 2 guns.  (we think)

They were super nice about it, and I sent my original levers back so he could try them on his gun to see if it was a production thing, or if it was my gun on the end of the tolerances spectrum.

The original set took both thumbs to turn them.  They were binding on the pointer side and the lever arm side throughout the rotation on the housing.  It would also not make the full movement into the notch to go on safe because the arm/tail side was hitting the housing.

bleep mine were pretty bleep tight at first, but eventually wore in. easy as an ar-15 now... flip , flip positive engagement with a solid click sound both ways. I did take some of the sharpness off the point on my safety spring/dentent though by slightly rounding it.

!@## mine were pretty bleep tight at first, but eventually wore in. easy as an ar-15 now... flip , flip positive engagement with a solid click sound both ways. I did take some of the sharpness off the point on my safety spring/dentent though by slightly rounding it.

I did too.  I had the factory levers absolutely perfect before I installed these, by tweaking the detent arm, and taking some of the edges off the detent, and the center ridge on the cylinder notches.  The PMM levers just drag on the housing around the OD.  They still do.  And I punched a polishing head into the safety hole to try to smooth down some of the plastic (yeah right, way too tough) and finally resorted to just taking a small flapper wheel to the OD of the lever where it rubs the worst.  (Then chemically blackening the aluminum to help hide it a little)  The other issue is the lever arm itself, runs into the backside of the housing on the up stroke too.  If the through hole for the screw was moved a half a mm it wouldn't.  Which is why it wouldn't go all the way on safe.  The factory levers do not rub or have any of those issues on my gun.  So it can't all be the gun, I don't think.  I may go over them again, as the only real weight left in them is the stall from it dragging on the housing still.  But for now the right side selector is no longer a part of my hand when shooting it.  So, it's still better than it was.
