Battle Arms Development Lightweight Ambi Safety Selector
The Battle Arms Development BAD-ASS-LITE Ambidextrous Safety Selector brings unmatched innovation and reliability to the AR-15 platform. As the evolution of the original, fully modular ambi safety selector, the BAD-ASS-LITE features an updated design with lightweight, billet 7075-T6 aluminum levers and a reversible Swiss CNC machined steel core for either 60° or 90° throw operation. The result is a lightweight, ultra-precise selector that works with virtually all known AR-style triggers and lower receivers without the need for relief cuts or proprietary interfaces.
This safety selector is engineered for shooters who demand durability and modularity. It installs easily and includes both standard and short levers for user preference. The patent-pending dovetail locking mechanism eliminates the need for screw heads, providing increased strength, no wiggle, and no risk of stripped screws. Whether you shoot right- or left-handed, the BAD-ASS-LITE provides reliable, intuitive control in all conditions.
Unlike other selectors on the market, the BAD-ASS-LITE is compatible with all triggers that function with standard Mil-Spec safety selectors—including Geissele, CMC, Timney, and more. The package includes a hardened detent, detent spring, reversible core, and even a fire marking sticker for receivers without short-throw engravings.
