    No one makes an 85 degree selector.

    Yours is probably out of spec.

        That's what happens when you buy a bubba AR.

          Test it for function. If it dry fires when in at "fire" (or I guess in your case, 5% of Fire), ok. If it's safe when at safe, ok. In any case it fails to be safe or fails to fire, time to switch out that selector. Or if it works as intended and you're not satisfied with the 5% differential, you might want to switch out that selector as well.

              Turn up the heat.
              Fire is rarely only 90 degrees.

                So the trigger kit has nothing to do with how the selector sits? So if i change out the selector only it will fix the issue?

                  I would buy a 60 degree short throw selector to replace it. Your lower will make it a 55 degree which is about perfect IMHO. I much prefer short throw selectors in the 45 to 60 degree range.

                    I have a short throw selector in one of mine they work just fine. Several companies make them.. Like Noveske’s SST or Armaspec ST 45 degree I think Battle Arms makes one too.

                    If you don't like it just swap out the safety lever to a regular one.

                        Take the selector out and grind on the detent just a little to get it to sit at 90 degrees.

                          From what I gather here it appears the selector is a bit out of spec, thus not sitting at 90. Thank you for the help.

                            1. Remove grip
                            2. Remove selector spring and detent
                            3. Remove selector
                            4. Examine detent channel.

                            This will tel you if it’s standard selector with QC issues or short throw selector.

                              Thank you. I doubt its the grip as I have a Magpul. I will eventually get a CMC trigger and ambi safety.
