TPS Arms safety selector works correctly but the black anodize has a slightly different shade than my other black parts in direct light. Side by side comparison shows the variation. Function is reliable, 90 degree throw with positive detent.
TPS Arms AR-15 safety selector works at a budget price. The black anodize has a slightly different sheen than my other black parts when in direct light. 90 degree throw is positive but the detent is on the lighter side.
TPS Arms AR-15 safety selector in black works as advertised. 90 degree throw with positive detent. Standard milspec dimensions. Drops in any milspec lower with the standard detent spring. Budget safety option.
90 degree throw is positive with a defined click. detent spring tension feels right, not gritty. for the price point it punches above what i expected from a basic mil spec selector
