Abstract
A dual lever ambidextrous and reversible safety selector switch for a firearm having a central rotatable component pivotally mountable through a transverse directed aperture in a lower receiver of the firearm for selective rotation relative the receiver. First and second circumferential slots are configured within opposite sides of the component, each of the slots exhibiting a seating detent located at each of opposite ends so that a spring loaded detent pin in the lower receiver seats within one of the configured slots for displacement between the end detents between each of “safe” and “fire” configurations. At least one end face of the component has either a recessed or projecting shape with a pair of acute angled corners. A pair of control levers are provided, with at least one lever attaching to the end face of the component, so that either lever can be manipulated from either side of the lower receiver for actuating the selector.
