wpevey Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Does anyone out there have any first hand experience with the Daves Metal Works oversize safety. To be specific, I would like to hear from anyone who has used the safety on an M4 and in the LEFT HAND configuration. According to the DMW web site, the safety can be installed for left hand use without any modifications. Since I shoot left handed, the factory safety is very awkward with the pistol grip stock. The DMW in left hand mode is interesting, but only if it is reliable. Thanks for your time. Ward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creeper Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 (edited) Duh... just realized you wern't asking how to switch to a left-hand safety, but rather info on the DMW safety. So, ah... nevermind. C Edited September 22, 2009 by Creeper Initial eye to brain failure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4_fan Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Hi, I put a DMW in my M4, normal right hand configuration. The machine work for centering on the plunger C/L is not symmetric, so I don't think it is reversible. However, next time I have the M4 apart, I'll see if the DMW safety can be inserted and work properly from the Left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cksh8me Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I use his safetys in my M1 and M2 yes they go left or right. I haven't put one in my M4 sorry. I do know that LAPD gave the go ahead for his Bolt handle, safety and mag extension for the "office". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpevey Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 Thanks to one and all for your courteous replies. The safety is not very expensive, so I think I may give it a try. "Creeper", you may not have addressed my imediate question, but you did provide me with some very usefull info.--Thanks. I am new to this board, but I have already found some very usefull info. here as well as a little BS here and there. Keep up the good work.
