Magpul SSG Ambidextrous Safety Selector for FN SCAR 16S - Matte Finish

The Magpul SSG Ambidextrous Safety Selector for FN SCAR 16S is a drop-in replacement that puts positive, switchable fire control in reach of either thumb. If you run a SCAR 16S and want faster, more intuitive selector manipulation—whether you're left-handed, right-handed, or simply prefer ambidextrous ergonomics—this matte-finish safety upgrade delivers the responsiveness that comes from a design born in the field. Magpul built the SSG at the request of a deploying military unit that demanded better control over the original selector, and the result is a direct bolt-on that requires zero permanent modification to your rifle.

Installation is straightforward: the SSG uses the existing set screw on your SCAR 16S, so you won't need special tools or parts beyond what you likely have on hand. The dual-sided design means your thumb (or trigger finger, depending on your technique) can safely engage and disengage the selector from either side of the receiver—a genuine advantage in close-quarters work, transitions between shooting positions, or simply operating the gun more intuitively with your natural hand position.

Made in the USA and built to Magpul's reputation for rugged, combat-proven ergonomics, the SSG selector is compatible specifically with the civilian SCAR 16S platform. The matte finish resists glare and fits the aesthetic of a modern tactical rifle without fuss or fanfare.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Magpul SSG selector fit my SCAR 16S?

Yes. The SSG is designed as a direct replacement for the factory selector on the FN SCAR 16S semi-automatic rifle and installs using the existing set screw without modification to the weapon.

What do I need to install this safety selector?

The SSG uses the set screw already on your SCAR 16S, so installation requires no additional parts. A basic tool set for firearms assembly is all you need; the set screw itself is not supplied.

Is this selector truly ambidextrous?

Yes. The SSG is dual-sided, allowing operation from either side of the receiver for both left- and right-handed shooters or for faster transitions when your shooting position requires it.

What firearms does the Magpul SSG work with?

The SSG is compatible with the FN SCAR 16S (civilian semi-automatic model). It was also designed with military MK16 and MK17 weapons in mind but is sold here for the SCAR 16S platform only.
