Does the safety work at that angle?
It does work as expected. It's an Aero lower and LPK with an Elftmann SE trigger. Neither of those websites mention the angle and I wasn't aware that was a thing. Thanks for the education.45° instead of 90° some are advised as short throw. It should still work, just doesn't look quite right.
Some safety levers allow the end user to clock it to a 45, 60, or 90° throw. Your lower is marked for a 90° throw... check the lever's 'struction sheet to see if you have the option of changing it (should be a flush screw on the other side to adjust).
If it bothers you (it would bug me) get a different lever... luckily they're not a terribly expensive part.
If it doesn't SAY that it's adjustable (or permanantly short-throw) then that's weird.It does bug me. It's just the basic LPK from Aero which doesn't come with instructions (at least mine didn't). I'll take it back apart and see if I can see a screw on the back side
The LPK box was just a ziplock bag of parts. No instructions or description or anything. Here's the website which just says it's all milspec.If it doesn't SAY that it's adjustable (or permanantly short-throw) then that's weird.
The screw would (I think) be on the exterior of the off-side... where the right side lever would attatch for an ambidextrous selector.
Well, I tried to take it apart but the trigger uses 2 set screws (in addition to the anti-walk pins) to press the trigger group up into the anti-walk pins. These set screws are loctited in place and in a location that's a bit of a pain to remove, under the springs. The screws pushing the trigger up into the pins has it interferring with removing the safety selector. Without a safety issue (no pun intended) or a definite resolution, I'm hesitant to disassemble it, break the loctite, and have to start over with setting the trigger.When you take it apart snap a picture of the channel. I'm interested to see if it wasn't machined correctly.
Is it possible that the parts are rough and binding prematurely? I've had selectors that were pretty dang tight myself.
Sounds alot more involved than a milspec fcg. Can you wiggle the selector out with just the trigger/hammer pins knocked out?Well, I tried to take it apart but the trigger uses 2 set screws (in addition to the anti-walk pins) to press the trigger group up into the anti-walk pins.

I decided to disassemble this while watching the Le Mans race.Is it possible the tail of your trigger is too thick or somehow too high to allow for complete travel in the selector?
The assembly instructions I've been using (Pew Pew Tactical's website) said to have the selector on Fire for install.theres something wrong with that trigger if it makes your selector do that. . take the grip off first
your selector should be like this before you put the grip on and put the detent in

It's an Elftmann ES drop in trigger. Got it fixed by loosening those set screws in the triggerwho made the trigger? and you need to fix it
Well done 'ol pal!This was it!
