Yup, and to me they're a easier to manipulate, lower profile option over the stock safety levers. They were easy to put on.
Magpul did have a bad batch that didn't have a hole in the right place or depth or something. They made it good in all the cases I heard about.

Agree! Cannot explain why they work better for me, since they are basically the same length, but they do.

I bought a set a while back. The smaller of the two (intended for the off hand, I guess) wasn't drilled correctly. I emailed MagPul, and they sent me a replacement set immediately. Overall, I really like the MagPul selectors over the FN ones. Not sure why, guess the AR/M4 shape and style fit my tastes better (I'm more used to those).

I dont have a screwdriver small enough to remove the original screw. Do you recall what size and/or where I can get one the proper size?

Got the proper screwdriver and installed it and you are right, it feels better than the original. Glad I got it on.

mine just came in the mail. went on in under 5 minutes. it's funny, it appears to be pretty much the same size, but it's noticably better. i'm pretty impressed with it.

I installed a set,and the weak side lever was misdrilled and not aligned, but I made it fit. Ended up chewing up the head of both the original retaining screws, but got the levers installed and range tested. I don't know that I will ever be able to remove them in the future, but you probably can't get replacement screws anyway.
Can't say that I could see much of an improvement in function. If I had it to do all over again, I'd pass on replacing the original levers.
