Forward Controls Design
Overview
The Forward Controls Design Ambidextrous Safety Selector is a steel safety selector with a 90-degree throw, providing both left and right-hand manipulation of the selector switch. Its ambidextrous design integrates a mirrored lever on the right side of the receiver, allowing for consistent operation regardless of shooter dominant hand or firing position. The selector is constructed from steel and finished in black. GPP build data shows this safety selector is frequently integrated into 5.56 NATO caliber builds utilizing a mid-length gas system. Builders on GPP commonly pair this safety with the B5 Systems SOPMOD Enhanced Stock and the Battle Arms Development Rack Ambidextrous AR-15 Charging Handle - Mod C. **
