Left handed safety

[alejo]

Does anyone know on which gun you can switch a right handed safety to a left handed?
I know Alpha has both, from FX I think all are on the right, any comments on that?
Thanks guys be safe.

FX safeties are indeed on the right-hand side of the gun, but as far as AR-style safeties go (the style that FX currently uses on most guns), FX does it backward and it is best positioned for a left-handed shooter. i.e., it's a thumb safety that is on the wrong side for right-handed shooters.

So, I would argue that many FX guns are already setup with left-hand safeties if that is what you need.

Odd thing is that nobody else seems to ever mention this or care...maybe there are not many AR shooters that also shoot FX guns.

Marauder safety is in front of the trigger, so equally left and right handed.

i think my Daystate revere is on the back of the receiver, so in my opinion it is both.

IMO, don't worry about it, and don't use the safety. After playing around with a good many air rifles, I can honestly say that I haven't found a safety that I trust.
When hunting, or moving around, decock on an empty chamber. Most FX rifles, and others that use spring loaded mags present a challenge. With them, I either load the mag and fire one in the dirt, or just don't insert the mag.
