these are printed with carbon fiber petg, spring tension is adjustable, you will need a 1.5mm Allen key and a Philip screwdriver to install. 

Cheapest option with tracking is flat rate box $20

without tracking is ~5 as oversize letter

warning: due to the abrasive nature of carbon fiber extended use will wear off the finish, you can apply a thin coat of super glue to the backside of the lever as a protective layer yourself to mitigate this.

If you encounter any problem, STOP and email me for help

installation steps:

i ship the levers in assembled state to avoid missing parts, you need to take it apart first

1. remove dustcover and main spring from the gun

2. depress the tab on the purple retaining pin to remove original safety pin

3. hold the locking coller against the right safety hole on inside of the receiver, and insert the safety pin through them from right. (If you get the safety after August 08 2024 ignore this step)

4. tighten the screw on the locking sleeve(if you get the safety after August 08 2024 install the short screw to the offset hole on the right)

5. install the long m2 screw through the small hole on the pin body, tighten this screw will give you more spring tension. manipulate the safety to check the tension every half turn, DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN

7.drop some lubricant on the safety spring and where the safety touches the frame

8. reassemble the spring and dust cover
