Hey friends,
I’m writing to see if there is any interest in a DIY parts kit for the SCS Super Safety.
Kits would be for 3-pos.
The kit would include:
- 2x Grade 5 Titanium Wear plates (.04" + 0.06") - tops machined flat
- 2x 1.5mm 304 Stainless Steel Rods - pre-cut to length
- 1x Rounded Brass Detent Pin
Price-wise I’m thinking $10. What do y’all think?
It’s a fun project, I’ve had mine working very well. This cuts down a lot of the SCS and Amazon shopping logistics.
You’d just need a small mallet and some epoxy, maybe a 1.5mm drill bit if your printer isn’t super dialed to clear out the holes.
I’ll go by the shop and take a photo of what I’m thinking.
I also have pre-cut mil-spec triggers for sale for $20. But if you’re in the DIY camp - I think I’d leave it to you for making your own cutting jig and doing your own trigger.
I could ostensibly include an uncut trigger for another $10. But I’m not sure if that’s a value add.
LMK if there is interest. Or if the price point is off, etc. Only worth doing if y’all would appreciate it. What do you guys think?
EDIT: Made an initial batch here:

$15 - with a stock mil-spec trigger.
Out of curiosity, how has this build performed for you? The SCS version I mean - I know the SS design itself works. I don’t feel like I ever saw many reports on its actual performance, but I hope it’s good!
I have 600 rounds on one cam. Overall the epoxy makes it lighter and stronger. The titanium has no visible wear.
I have a gassy suppressed .300blk build. Managed to melt a PLA+ lever after 450 rounds.
Haven’t had the same issue with PA6-CF levers.
I think reducing gas and timing is more important with printed levers than metal.
But once you do that is pretty solid imo.
I have to drive pretty far to test sadly.
Very good to know!
Is there a guide, pics, or video on how to install it or how it works?
Im a bit confuse
So I don’t have a guide for assembly of the parts kit yet.
But I do have an install guide for the Super Safety (full kit) - you would still follow this after printing the cam components and lever, and assembling the cam.
Hey! As the poster of the project, great job putting this together for a reasonable price (some dude before was trying to charge $60 a pack).
I’ve gotten reports well into the hundreds on these builds, and have not yet had a failure or heard of a failure.
$60 for the raw components is asinine.
Yeah I have 600 rounds through one cam. No issues yet. I melted a PLA lever around 450 rounds suppressed and gassy, started making them from PA6-CF after that.
I’m in discussions with a metal finishing shop to coat the grade 5 titanium to further increase wear resistance. Might increase the price by a few bucks, but should be bulletproof after that.
I’d potentially have some interest if it means I don’t have to buy a bunch of extra scs parts lol.
Noted.
I put up a small batch here: https://greysummitgear.com/products/gsg-09-diy-scs-ss/
LMK what you think.
Quick question, why would you need a cut trigger? Mine function tests with an unmodified milspec trigger and the docs never mentioned any trigger mod. As far as I know that’s just a hoffman thing. Same with the rounded off detent. I used a pointy one with the kak 3pos selector and the jig to file it.
You need the 45* cut to allow for switching between safe, frt, and semi.
The “Rounded” cut is a bit up in the air on necessity. If found with an uncut trigger your trigger pull is much heavier.
This is for the SCS Super Safety - not the TURD btw.
Oh I’m an idiot, I’m so sorry. I saw SCS and assumed turd. This is neat, looks hoffman pattern but a lil different.
It’s a reinforced printed super safety
Question, I see there is a .4 and .63. How would I know which one I need to use?
The plates are .04" and .063" together they get to .13" which is enough to engage the cut-trigger. You’ll stack them on each other on the rods.
I’m working on a detailed photo guide. Stay tuned for that!
Much appreciated!
