r/supersafety

Any recommendations? Preferably something off of ar15discounts or primary arms (they ship to my lame ass state)

I've been lurking here for a while as my interest in SS has been growing rapidly. I've noticed many questions about compatibility, cutting, etc get repeated a lot and the information on the wiki is vague. Here are some general questions I have that will hopefully help myself and others:

1. What platforms currently have a known working SS? (AR, AK, MAC11, etc.) Can we rank these based on difficulty?

2. What options are available for each of these platforms? Don't need links or endorsements, but a list of known options would be nice if it doesn't break the rules.

3. Which option is cheapest, most reliable, plug and play vs needs effort to run, etc.

4. What is the real difference between a FRT and a SS?

5. What is needed to get a FRT (let's say AR) to work? Springs, barrel, specific type of receivers, etc.

6. Are there any fully DIY options? How difficult are they?

If anyone has additional input outside of these questions please feel free to share.

We just received our first batch of aluminum lowers for the MP5 platform. The first batch is the full size MKE pattern ( front pin hole ). The K size will be arrving soon. Currently 10% off entire site. The ARC V2 line will be excluded from the discount at the moment.

To those who have/have used the arc fire 0-45-90; how easy is it to accidentally go through the semi auto at 45 degree and throw the lever into arc fire mode? I’m only use to 90 degree semi auto rifles and I usually flick the safety with force to throw it into 90. Have you had any problems with unintentionally going into arc mode?

as stated in title trigger isn't resetting when using in semi auto mode. used a standard crossbolt Super Safety and a standard flat mil spec trigger cut for the super safety for months had no issues ran flawlessly even while being supressed. overgassed like a mf....sure, but it ran. now when in semi auto i can shoot once and trigger will not reset will have to manually push trigger forward any suggestions? (havent taken build apart will do when i have time this weekend for the monthly cleaning)

Been chasing a couple of issues in the pursuit of perfect 100% function over the last few months. I finally thought I solved it only to come to a 90% finished endeavor. I fixed my trigger pull problem by trimming a spring to the perfect height by using the spring wing. I now can squeeze however hard I want and she runs perfectly. The only problem is when I load up a full mag of 31 rounders and even the 50, it shoots a couple, then jams, shoots a couple then jams. But if you only load like 25 they'll run it completely no issues at all and it's awesome! Any thoughts? I've never personally had mag issues ever in anything I own. Using Glock 31 rounders

So I’m partying out a build for a 24” frt ar15. I have another short barrel carbine length frt I got working. My question is do I have to do anything differently for such a long barrel. You might be asking why I’m putting an frt in a 24” barrel build, I’m putting together a poor mans Rpk of sorts. Thanks for the help

ETA: I should said in the title "PROBLEM REPORTS" not "FAILURE REPORTS". My bad. Also understand that I'm not posting this with any ill will toward ASD. I have the Arc V1 and it runs great in an FM AR9 with a timing shim. That being said...

Is it just me or are there a LOT of reports of problems with the V2 coming up lately. I know new products have "growing pains" but this seems a little excessive considering they had the chance to work out all the bugs with V1.

The most common "fix" for the "obsolete" V1 seems to be to just ask AS Des. for a timing shim, provided the end user has followed all the standard FRT configuration steps.

Looking at the "complaints" for the V1, it seems most of them were pretty superficial, including the 180 deg throw to FRT, supposedly "limited" compatability, selector not feeling crisp, and grinding trigger "feel". [ From: www.artakedowntool.com/blogs/blogs/arc-fire-v2-release-frt-week\ ]

The 180 throw to (let's call it "rapid fire") being "clunky" was, I'm sure, intentional in the AR design. Being a military weapon, it was likely so inexperienced soldiers don't waste all their ammo by accident. The rapid firing mode has to be the result of conscious intent. Same reason the AK "rapid fire" setting is in the middle. In a panic, the soldier slaps off the safety and it goes past "rapid fire" to Semi.

As for "grinding sensation", or "not a crisp selector detent", I sure don't feel that at all.

Regarding "Limited to to AR-15, MCX, MP5, and a handful of others" - Jeez, that's not enough? That's some pretty wide compatability! I'd expect a totally different version JUST for HK MR556/MR762, B&T housings, etc. that are now supported.

I suspect that the attempt at wider compatability may be a big part of what has made it less reliable in the originally supported platforms?

I hope they figure it all out soon, but what do I know? I'm probably completely wrong.

I'll start. (all heard personally by me so far)

• Wow! (lot of this)
• Looks like that thing's got a fun switch!
• Holy shit, that was awesome!
• Are you hitting anything when you fire that fast?
• Bet you go through a lot of ammo!
• Are you,...is that,...are you an FFL? (while he walked up to me as if in a trance. LOL)
