HBI has a new safety lever
« on: September 17, 2016, 06:12:56 AM »
"mini" ak style safety selector

Offered for right AND left side now. This really makes my day. I didn't like the original because it seemed too long and I didn't like the gear head works because it seemed too short. This one looks perfect for me.  Thank you HBI for another amazing product! I'm sure the lefties will appreciate this as well.

Haha it's so cute! I like my large one. I may swap parts here and there based on what new things come out but I don't think I'll ever swap out my AK safety.

Meh..to each his own. I have the original AK selector, and I think it is still the better design.

 The extra length provides additional leverage, and extends the tip just into the trigger guard, making it very intuitive to use.

That being said, I am sure they work very well, being an HBI product.

I do love the fact HBI is offering different choices, though. 'Murica!!

With the HBI Mini AK selector would it be practical to put it on both sides?
How hard is it pushing up to the fire position with your finger?

I guess if you shoot both left and right handed.

I would be nice to see it in the "safe" position, but for some reason the website only shows it in the "fire" position.  Hmmm....

As a leftie the left side AK safety is going to be awesome.  I just bought one.  I'll keep the original "long" AK safety on the right side.

Daughter shoots left handed.
Decided to order both left and right side.
Pushing up with finger to fire position looks like it might be kind of tough, but I am going to give it a try.

Thank you for the heads up.

I too am a lefty,  just last night i toyed with the idea of drilling out the right side ak selector to mount upside down on the left side.   I was dismayed when i realized that my plan sucked. (the bolt release prevents clearance for the lever).

You made my day as well.

I actually like this a lot better than the HBI's regular AK-style safety.    I bought the original version, and I think it's just too big.


I wish I had waited...  sigh.
