Manual Safety - e M6 is equipped with a manual safety that is activated by the selector levers.
ere are ambidextrous selector levels on either side of the lower receiver. Placing the weapon
on safe locks the entire fire control mechanism preventing the trigger from being actuated.
Like the M4/M16, the safety only engages when the hammer is in the cocked position.
Fire Control Group (FCG) Selector - e M6’s fire control selector settings are in the exact
same positions as on the M4/M16 series of weapons. Having the selector settings in these
same positions allows the user familiar with the M4/M16 instant familiarity with the M6 and
prevents unintended discharge or selecting an unintended setting due to muscle memory. e
position of the selector allows the change of a fire control setting with the shooters dominant
hand without removing it from the pistol grip. ere is a pointer on the selector that points to
the mode of fire marked on the receiver. ese are marked:
SAFE
SEMI-AUTOMATIC
AUTOMATIC (SYMBOL FOR INFINITY)
