Affordable enhanced AK-47 selector lever.
« on: April 04, 2018, 06:23:55 PM »
Does anyone know of an enhanced AK selector lever that wont break the bank? I see the Krebs which offers the ease of use capability and the BHP notch, and a Polish enhanced that just offers the ease of use. Both are $40.00 plus which is a high price to pay. I am more interested in the ease of use but the BHO is a plus. I have been unable to find any other option cheaper then this unless it's just a plain ole stock selector lever.

The BHO is just a dremel cut away. I seem to remember a rivet on extended finger safety back during the build days.

I have a spare ak selector lever that does not have the BHO notch that I would be willing to part with very inexpensive.  You have to provide your own dremel work though.  Under $20.  PM me if interested.
Too old and lazy to care!

I did the BHO on mine myself, doesn't take much as the steel isn't that thick. As far as the other mod it wouldn't take much to MIG a tab onto the stock lever.

Wait, so are you telling me people actually use the safety on AKs, like a safety instead of just a transport lock?  Weird.
Experience is the hardest kind of teacher, it gives the test 1st and the lesson after.

Courage is knowing it may hurt and doing it anyway.
Stupidity is the same.

Would this help?  It's a Krebs rivet on finger tab for an AK safety lever.  It's yours for free if you can use it.  PM me for shipping.

Wow that would be great! I found something similar on another site but they were sold out. I just picked up a standard BHO open lever from Apex so this would be a great addition so I really appreciate the offer.

PM on the way.
