Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Timney 49'er fit my AR-15 lower receiver?

Yes. The Timney 49'er is designed as a true drop-in replacement that fits any Mil-Spec AR-15 lower receiver. No machining, fitting, or special tools are required — it installs using the same process as a standard safety selector. If you're unsure whether your lower is Mil-Spec, check with your manufacturer, as proprietary lowers may vary.

Can I use this as a right-hand-only safety if I don't want the ambidextrous lever?

Absolutely. The 49'er includes an end plate that allows you to remove the left-side ambidextrous arm, converting it to a standard right-hand-only configuration. This makes it highly versatile for shooters who prefer a cleaner, snag-free profile on their rifle.

What is the advantage of a 49-degree throw over a standard 90-degree safety?

A 49-degree short-throw safety requires significantly less thumb movement to transition between safe and fire, allowing for faster and more positive manipulation — especially during dynamic shooting situations or competition stages. The Timney 49'er gives you the flexibility to run either angle depending on your preference or the demands of a given situation, without needing separate parts.
