Torogi Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) Browsing through EAA with no pictures is like shopping in the dark. Does anybody have a part number for a single sided safety? Would prefer chrome/ss. For stock 2. Thanks in advance. Edited February 25, 2013 by Torogi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHA-LEE Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Call EAA directly for this info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torogi Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 Thanks Cha-lee. I did actually call and the lady on the other end was very helpful. She said she just shot a Stock 2 last week and she liked it though I was told to be patient.. they will send out the part as soon as they can. Looks like the website parts are confusing too. Thanks for the tip. Easier to just call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Hepworth Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 i prefer the single side custom safety....acts like a guide for my grip. ALso, I found with the ambi safety, I would put the safety on with my trigger finger when I did mag changes...(my finger coming up out of the trigger guard,..and pushing the safety up) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torogi Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 Mo, that is exactly why I am going for single sided safety. Coming from CZ, i've had the same experience with shadow extended safety, with PD (USPSA), there is constant mag change and an activated thumb safety is no fun for me. I changed to thinner ones, but with EAA, I dont need an ambi, a regular thin single sided would be fine, cheaper too. Though they only have black.

Torogi Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 So yesterday i received the part I ordered. Installed today but... The ball where its being pointed on the safety is bigger on the stock safety (extended ambi) than the replacement single sided safety. When it is installed it is free moving im afraid during recoil my weak hand would easily bump it to safe mode. Is the ball transferrable? I can see a pin like behind it but curious how to remove it. Any tip would help, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nealio Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 The one I have had apart went together like this: There is a hole in that safety that the spring, then "ball thingie" goes in. The "ball thingie" is shaped like a cast round nose bullet : It is "staked" into the hole in the safety. The one that came out on me was a huge PITA to get back in. So I must ask: How would your weak hand bump the safety into safe ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torogi Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 Meat below my thumb can easily bump the safety since its free playing. A little resistance would be great. So how do i actually remove the stake? From behind? But there is only one direction which is going in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nealio Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 To get the old one out you could pry/ pull with pliers/ vice grips or try to drive it out with a tiny punch. In mine, the pin thingie falls out the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torogi Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 Aaron, i was reading the other threadhttp://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=169165, now i am thinking twice dismantling the detent ball. Not sure if its worth it. Do you know which ones have a bigger ball for single sided safety ill probably send this back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nealio Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Can you take a pic of the 2 detents? I thought mine were all the same size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torogi Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 I was taking a closer look on the ball detent, size wise, they are the same (eye-balling), but the new one from EAA have the ball further in, so when installed, it doesnt come into contact with the groove to give that positive 'click' when activated. Since you mentioned it is staked, there's no point in pulling this ball thingy to come out more right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nealio Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) Since you mentioned it is staked, there's no point in pulling this ball thingy to come out more right? I don't understand But either way I would probably send it back then and tell them the detent isn't engaging on the notches in the frame.

Torogi Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 I called EAA, got to talk to a gunsmith, he said just ship it back. So I ordered a different one. Hopefully the new one fits fine. Thanks Aaron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EngineerEli Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Why couldn't you just use the one that comes with it stock and just cut down the shaft so that it doesn't stick out the other side of the frame? If you don't have one, and still need it, I have one I would sell. Or, were you looking for an even narrower safety than the factory one on the stock II?

I actually thought about just cutting the shaft, well, right now, that is actually how it looks like. I didnt re-install the other safety so there is a shaft protruding,. I went against it in case I'd sell it in the future and I can reconfigure it to its orig ambi safety. But PM on the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
