ASF-50 (Ambi Selector)
ASF-50 is a short-throw (rotate to 50 degrees for FIRE/SEMI) semi-auto selector. ASF was designed from the ground up to be a defense/duty/combat safety selector; its mission is quite aptly reflected by the way its levers are attached to the center via stainless steel roll pin. The lever-to-center interface is immensely strong and uses an 800lbf 420 stainless steel pin to hold the levers in place; without needing to handle any load.
ASF levers are serrated; not dimpled. As the lever rotates; the user’s finger slides on the lever - anything other than serrations along the length of the lever only impedes movement and creates unnecessary friction. Serrations diagonal or perpendicular to the length of the lever are similarly unhelpful. However; serrations parallel to the lever's length help mitigate lateral movement and do not impede the finger's sliding motion.
When the user’s hand holds the pistol grip; the profile of the ASF lever conforms to angle of the thumb's pad. There is also a single dimple on both sides to function as a position indicator (in lieu of a pointer).
The ASF-50Q levers are offset; shifting the lever closer to the shooter's thumb when the selector is on SEMI/FIRE; enabling the user to more easily rotate it back to SAFE without shifting their grip. For that reason; q levers are side specific; the q lever's "leg" should always be biased towards the top. True to its namesake; with the selector on SEMI/FIRE; the lever should look like the letter Q.
ASF is shipped with a selector spring; an FCD 17-4 SS nitrided selector detent; two levers; and 4 roll pins (two for installation and 2 spares). The ASF is shipped with the levers partially assembled without roll pins.
Made in the USA - ASF levers and centers are billet machined in 8620 steel; heat-treated; and black nitrided.
