Specops09 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Hello all... I just got an Armalite Eagle-15 Mission First Tactical. I shoot a pistol right handed (both eyes open), and a long gun left handed, as I'm left eye dominant. So far I haven't shot it yet, just been getting familiar with it, breaking it down, and drooling over accessories. The only "issue" that I have is that the safety is uncomfortable where it hits my trigger finger, when the safety is in the fire position. Is there a lower profile safety that can replace the stock safety? If so, how difficult is it to replace? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specops09 Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 (edited) Thank you sir! I hope to have a long association with this Forum. I traded in my M-1 carbine and 7mm Remington Rolling block for the AR, so I hope that I made a good choice in the Eagle.

Here is one I recommend. http://www.tacticallink.com/Elftmann-Tactical-Ambidextrous-Push-Button-Speed-Safety-For-AR15-And-AR10-Rifles.html I used one of these on one of my latest builds. I like it.

Specops09 Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 Ahhh, very nice, very little protrusion. Any worries about bumping it to another position inadvertently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specops09 Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 Hi Greg, Your comment is scaring me... did I make a bad deal? I got the Eagle AR, and $300.00 cash for the two weapons that I traded. The carbine ammo was way to expensive for plinking, and the Remington uses 7mm Mauser, which "aint" cheap either. I figured that having a good home defense and target weapon was more important than hanging on to the old stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadeInUSA Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 How much was the AR? The problem is the 2 guns you sold are collector guns. Meaning their value will only go up if kept in good condition. The AR on the other hand, will most likely only go down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have three nice Carbines but I'd sure not pass up another one. They are neater than pockets in a suit. They rank right behind 1911's in fun for the whole family.

Specops09 Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 The Eagle-15 Mission First Tactical was 615.00... Heavy barrel, forward assist, front and rear sights, 6 position MFT stock, and I mated it to a Nikon P-223 3-9x40 scope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on the condition of the 2 guns you had, id say you got the short end of the stick. Sorry man. Depending on who you ask, 1 gun you Will shoot is better than 2 you won't.
