Description
The Timber Creek AMBI SS is a drop-in upgrade for the factory safety selector in any Mil-Spec AR lower. It swaps in without any permanent changes to your receiver, so you keep the guts of your lower stock while gaining ambidextrous control and a faster throw. The bright red anodized finish adds a pop of color if you're building out a matched setup, and the aluminum levers keep the weight down where it counts.
What Sets the AMBI SS Apart
The big draw here is flexibility. You can run it as a full 90 degree throw like a standard selector, or set it to a 45 degree short throw for quicker manipulation between safe and fire. The levers are modular aircraft grade aluminum, meaning you can mix and match a short paddle on one side and a longer one on the other to dial in the reach that fits your grip and thumb length. Lefties and righties both benefit since the ambi design gives you a lever on each side of the receiver.
Getting the AMBI SS Dialed In
Installation is straightforward for anyone who's done basic AR work. Everything you need comes in the box, including the selector, spring, detent, and an Allen wrench for the levers. One thing worth knowing up front: it plays nice with most standard fire control groups but isn't built to work with every aftermarket trigger, so it's not a match for POF or Hyperfire units. As always, confirm your rifle is unloaded before you start and run a full function check once it's back together.
It's a clean, budget-friendly way to add ambi controls and short-throw handling without tearing into your lower. For folks who found the stock selector a stretch for their thumb, the short-throw option alone makes this a worthwhile swap.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the AMBI SS work as a short-throw selector?
Yes. It's configurable for either a standard 90 degree throw or a 45 degree short throw, so you can pick the shorter sweep between safe and fire if you want faster manipulation. Setting the throw is done during install, and swapping later just takes a few minutes.
Will this Timber Creek safety selector fit my AR lower?
It's a drop-in replacement for the OEM selector on any Mil-Spec lower receiver, including AR-15 and AR-308 style builds. No modification to the receiver is required, so it goes right where your factory selector sits.
Can I run different lever lengths on each side?
You can. The levers are modular, so you're able to mix a shorter paddle on one side with a longer one on the other to match your grip and thumb reach. This is handy for both left and right handed setups since it's fully ambidextrous.
Is the AMBI SS compatible with aftermarket triggers?
It works with most standard fire control groups, but it isn't designed to function with every aftermarket trigger. It's specifically not compatible with POF or Hyperfire triggers, so stick with standard-style units and always run a function check after installing.
