Not that an unmodified FA safety is going to turn a semi to a full auto, but just for the sake of not using any FA fire control parts. ETA: I guess I should add that if you use a FA safety, you'll also be able to rotate to the 3rd position (safe/semi/semi). Kinda nifty, I suppose. Actually, if you're using a lower without selector stops, you'll be able to rotate a full 360 degrees, lol. |

The only mod that's (debatably) required is a small metal "fin" that needs to be milled or ground off (designed to push down the SA disconnector so that the auto sear can engage). You can do it in a few minutes with a Dremel. Technically, if your gun isn't FA, it isn't FA - whether you use a FA safety or not. But, in the unlikely event you ever had an FCG malfunction, it'd be better to show you took affirmative steps to render the FA safety not suitable for use in a select-fire.
