Odin Works Ambidextrous Modular Safety Selector — 8 Colors · AR-15 & AR-9 · USA Made
Your AR-15's safety selector is a mission-critical control — and if you're running a forced reset trigger or a Super Safety selector system, you need an ambi safety that's as dialed in as the rest of your build. The Odin Works Ambidextrous Modular Safety gives you 8 configurations, both 45° and 90° throw, dual enlarged paddles for left and right-handed operation, and your choice of 8 anodized colors — all machined from 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum in Southern Idaho. 100% USA made. Weighs just 0.35 oz. Installs like mil-spec. Performs like nothing else.
What Makes It Different
Built for Serious AR Builders
- ◆8 unique configurations — dual paddle levers on both sides combined with 45° and 90° throw options give you 8 distinct ways to set up your safety. Dial it to your shooting style, your hand size, and your competition or duty requirements.
- ◆45° and 90° throw — switchable — reverse the orientation of the selector barrel to switch between 45° and 90° throw. No tools required for the switch. 45° is faster on the draw; 90° is mil-spec standard. You choose.
- ◆True ambidextrous operation — full-size paddles on both sides mean left-handed and right-handed shooters get the same ergonomic experience. Not an afterthought — designed ambi from the ground up.
- ◆Enlarged paddles for stress-fire access — under competition clock pressure or in a defensive scenario, the oversized paddle design means you find the safety by feel, every time, without looking down at your rifle.
- ◆6061 aircraft-grade aluminum — machined from billet aluminum, not cast. Anodized finish is part of the metal, not a coating on top. Available in 8 colors to match any cerakote or build aesthetic.
- ◆Mil-spec AR-15 drop-in installation — installs exactly like a standard mil-spec safety selector. Compatible with all AR-15 and AR-9 mil-spec lower receivers. No fitting, no machining.
- ◆0.35 oz — lighter than most standard safety selectors. When you're weight-cutting a build, the Odin Works AMS adds function without adding mass.
- ◆100% USA made, Southern Idaho — every Odin Works product is designed and manufactured in the United States. Not assembled overseas. Not rebranded imports. American-made precision.
The 8 Configuration System
Your Safety. Your Setup.
The 8 configurations come from the combination of paddle position (4 possible) and throw angle (45° or 90°). Change configurations by repositioning the paddle levers or reversing the selector barrel — no gunsmithing required.
Half the travel distance of standard. Ideal for 3-Gun, competition shooting, and speed-focused builds. Your thumb barely moves — the safety is off. Preferred by most competitive AR shooters running forced reset triggers where follow-up speed is the priority.
Mil-spec standard throw. Maximum positive engagement — you know it's on safe and you know it's off safe. Preferred for duty, defensive, and hunting builds where accidental disengagement is a real concern. Full positive click in both directions.
Why Your Forced Reset Trigger Needs This
Running a forced reset trigger on your AR-15 changes what you need from every other control on the rifle — including your safety. When your FRT is cycling at speeds approaching 1,150 RPM in FRT mode, the ability to get on and off safety instantly isn't a nice-to-have — it's a fundamental part of how you control the rifle. The Odin Works AMS at 45° throw gets your safety disengaged in the same motion as your trigger press, not before it.
The ARC-Fire V2 forced reset trigger from AS Designs — the one built specifically with ambidextrous safety compatibility in mind — pairs directly with the Odin Works AMS. If you're running an ARC-Fire V2, this is the ambi safety selector that was designed with your trigger in mind.
- ◆Disruptor FRT (The Triggered Company): The AMS 45° throw gives you faster safety transitions to match the Disruptor's rapid cycling capability. Run the paddle in the high position for thumb-on-safety access without breaking your firing grip.
- ◆ARC-Fire V2 (AS Designs): The ARC-Fire V2 is specifically engineered for ambidextrous safety compatibility. The Odin Works AMS is the natural pairing — full ambi paddle on both sides, 45° throw, positive engagement.
- ◆Hoffman Tactical Super Safety: The Super Safety system replaces your selector entirely. If you're running a standard safety alongside a Super Safety on a second build, the Odin Works AMS is the ambi upgrade your second rifle deserves.
- ◆Competition and 3-Gun builds: The 45° throw at the AMS's optimal paddle position is the fastest safe-to-fire transition available on any mil-spec compatible ambi safety. Build for speed without sacrificing positive engagement.

Why Odin Works
The Standard for AR-15 Accessories
Every Odin Works product is designed and machined in Southern Idaho. American engineers, American machines, American metal.
The same alloy used in aircraft structural components. Hard anodized finish penetrates into the metal — it doesn't sit on top of it.
No other mil-spec ambi safety gives you this many setup options. Find your perfect position once — and never think about it again.
The 45° throw and enlarged paddles make the Odin Works AMS the go-to safety selector for 3-Gun competitors and speed shooters nationwide.
Installation Notes
Drop-In Mil-Spec Install
- 01Uses your existing detent and spring. The Odin Works AMS does not include a safety detent or spring — it uses the mil-spec detent and spring already in your lower. If you need a replacement, any mil-spec safety detent kit works.
- 02Standard mil-spec installation. Remove your existing safety selector and install the AMS exactly the same way. No special tools, no fitting, no modifications to the lower required.
- 03Choose your throw first. Decide between 45° and 90° before installation by orienting the selector barrel correctly. You can switch later but it's easier to set it before the lower is fully assembled.
- 04Set your paddle position. After installation, position each paddle lever to your preferred ergonomic angle. The four positions give you fine-tuned control over where each paddle sits relative to your trigger finger and thumb.
- 05FRT builds — run the 45° throw. If you're running a forced reset trigger, the 45° throw is the correct choice for most shooters. It allows you to engage and disengage the safety within your natural firing grip without repositioning your thumb.
