Definitely in on it. |

I'm personally not too concerned about cosmetics of the selector markings as long as it functions in both. I have guns with SEF and ambi lowers so it's nice to know I can buy one pack and use it in any of them. |

Looks like they are shooting for 5/1 production. I just hope they have shorter levers so they don't interfere with your grip. https://activesafetydesigns.com/production-status/ |

I recently swapped my SEF trigger pack to a Ambi lower in my AP5. I much prefer the Ambi look and feel. It’s really cool that AS designs trigger works in both. |

Was a heck of a lot cheaper than a new Navy pictogram. |

That said Atlantic sells the AP5 Navy lowers for $300 IIRC. I bought one and sold my SEF lower for $200 on the EE. It was well worth the $100 net for the upgrade. Attached File |

That said my recommendation to anyone who wants a ARHK just buy when you get the opportunity, then swap the selectors later. Demand is unreal for these drop ins right now and i cant imagine the selector swap will be much at all. Eventually I'm sure we will offer a version that ships with the sef selectors instead of the navy but idk when that will be. |

Will it line up with the 3 shot burst marking or the auto marking? IIRC the burst setting is in between the normal semi and full positions so a 3 pos selector gets the same safe, semi, full and you just can’t align it with burst. ETA back when I got a binary HK pack I’d originally wanted that to align with the 2-rd burst icon but realized the above. |

Sorry if this has been discussed a million times but I’m new to this platform and a little confused . I have an mke ap5. Will this trigger work in my gun? If I wanted a navy lower with the proper pictograms that will work with this trigger, what do I need to search/look for? |

Is there a preorder? |

You don’t need a new lower, it just might not look clone correct until they come out with SEF selectors. |

Sounds like the selectors can be replaced too but that Ambi style is only what is being offered at first release. |

We still have much less invested than you would if you owned the real thing. |

@AS_Designs Do we have any sort of rough timeline for these? If we are talking a few weeks, I’ll probably hold of on buying the ARC Fire V2 and put my money toward this. If we are taking a few months, I’ll probably buy the V2 tomorrow and have enough of my gun budget saved up for one of these as well when the time comes. |

Their website says they expect to enter production by May 1st. How long until they can start shipping is anyone’s guess… I’d imagine a couple of months. |

ASD don’t forget about your B&T homies I’ve got the APC10 back from EVT and it’s incredible. Picture canned hatred and violence begging to be released. That’s the only way I can describe frt 10mm. It’s savage. I converted my GHM SD9 myself with an 80 dollar kit that was 3d printed. It also runs lights out. I’m just concerned about the longevity of a printed trip lever thing. So far so good. Milled it out with a drill press and a carbide tipped dremel bit. Surprisingly effective and good results. I’ll do the ASD kit on the GHM |
