The genuine Colt ambidextrous safety selector — a factory Colt part with the reversible long/short lever configuration, for AR-15 and M16 builds that need a real Colt ambi rather than a third-party copy.
Colt produces this safety for the commercial AR-15 (M16-pattern semi-auto) and includes it on select factory carbines. Identifying features are the "S" trademark on the long left-hand lever, a 7/64" hex screw with a partial groove and light thread coating, and the Colt CAGE code on the short lever. It is the only ambidextrous safety Charlie's is aware of that lets the builder swap which side carries the long paddle — useful for left-hand shooters running a right-side manual of arms and for clone builds that copy a specific issued rifle's paddle orientation.
Colt's full-auto ambi safety (P/N SP4011017) will also drop into a semi-auto lower — the third position simply returns to "SAFE." Charlie's carries both; the full-auto variant is often priced a little lower when in stock.
Supply on Colt small parts is inconsistent. We source this safety directly from Colt and its distributors and package it as a single part regardless of whether Colt ships it as one assembly or three sub-parts — the end result is identical Colt hardware. Maximum of one per customer when in stock, so everyone has a chance at one before the shelf clears.
