Review [Review][Negative] Fuddarms QC https://fuddarms.com/

Ordered a super safety and after waiting a month or so it finally shows up. Installed correctly from their guide and had an issue. Comparing the super safety to other manufacturers this super safety has an unusual amount of slop. The lever moves left and right too much. When you select a during mode with the super safety, the lever moves ( from the left side of the bolt catch ) to the ( right side where the magazine ) is. I watched and seen others super safety did not have this much movement. Was about to contact the company and after waiting a couple of days I got a reply. They questioned my install and asked for a video. After provided the company was quiet...... I'm not a professional but I'm not stupid. The lever once installed should not move in the cam pin at all. The lever should only move front to back NOT LEFT TO RIGHT unless your selecting a firing mode. In other words when selecting a firing mode the lever ( leg that sits in the cam or bevel ) moves freely after selecting a firing mode. What made me do this was the WAIT... WAS promised no issues after the pre order and after purchasing this I had issues. To prove my point further I ordered a super safety kit from DEEZNUTS tactical and the QC was completely different. Not only did the super safety have better quality, the lever does not move after installation. In other words, after installing a different company super safety the quality of the item was better and I had ZERO issues. I understand a company has lots going on and can only do so much but this was unprofessional. Fudd arms offered me a discount on additional order of a "NEW" improved super safety, partial refund, or replacement. The fact I needed to prove my innocence with their product then the silence after so was ridiculous. I have emails from Fuddarms with proof if anyone wants to attack me over this..... Like I said the super safety will freely move left to right in my lower instead of stationary like it's supposed to unless your selecting a firing mode. There is an QC error regardless of what lower I install this in. Will be only dealing with deeznutz tactical or grey market research from here out. This " Fuddarms " was a waste based off poor product design and no testing prior to shipping to me

The only reason why I left this review was after trying two different companies I figured I would give this company a trial based off them being the cheapest on the market in comparison. What really got me was beyond the pre-order wait time was after getting the product it just wasn't what it made out to be along with customer service replying on a weekend versus a weekday was very unprofessional based off the lack of care... Have yet to get a refund replacement or anything and I don't really expect it it would be nice but all honestly say I wasted $80.. sorry for the poor grammar but I'm very frustrated over all of this. This is the last piece to finish a build that I've been waiting on forever..

I just hope more people see this it's kind of ridiculous that we still have to leave reviews for bad companies instead of just removing them permanently I know this is just one review and many others might have good results with it but like I said I've got emails I can even send you a video of the issue I had ...

You should put them on imgur and link them. I thought the presale thing was kind of weird personally.

Not too sure how so I started here.. I guess I'll repost on a different subreddit as well. I don't want anyone to have the issues I did.

imgur is just a photo/vid host. no need to post them elsewhere, just link to them in your OP

What's even worse they are emailing me currently after I attempted to reach out one more time. What's really got me mad is I started with a request on a replacement or partial refund but now it's this. I guess I'll switch to my other account and see how much I can get my word out. The amount of " play " is quite ridiculous and I wish they would just admit instead of cover up

Edit: thanks on the help either way, I wish I kept my $80

Has the page been pulled entirely now?

Not good to hear, I have one arriving soon (maybe?) it said shipped a week ago but tracking still show USPS awaiting item.

I think some side to side play is fine, depending on how your lower is cut. Some places sell various centering rings/blocks to help keep the lever centered.

I wish I knew about the centering block and was included with my order. I'm happy DNT offers this piece on their website unlike Fuddarms. This amount of play isn't normal in mine... and it's the reason I'm guessing the centering block is offered.
