Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Fortis SS Fifty ambidextrous safety selector compatible with my AR-15?

The Fortis SS Fifty is designed for standard AR-pattern rifles and carbines. If you have questions about fit with a specific lower receiver or platform, reach out to our team and we'll help confirm compatibility.

What makes an ambidextrous safety selector worth upgrading?

An ambidextrous selector lets you operate the safety from either side without changing your grip or hand position—a real advantage in defensive scenarios, training, or multi-shooter environments. If you're left-handed or frequently shoot with different hand positions, it's a no-brainer upgrade.

Do I need a gunsmith to install this?

Installation requires basic familiarity with lower receiver assembly and disassembly. If you've worked on your rifle before or have access to a basic armorer's kit, you can handle it yourself. If you're not comfortable with that work, a qualified gunsmith can install it quickly.
