TANDEMKROSS’s family of Cornerstones is growing! Introducing the Cornerstone Rotary Safety for Ruger® 10/22®.
Cross bolt safeties—otherwise known as push-button safeties—are nothing new and are easy to use. That doesn’t mean they can’t be improved. To activate the factory push-button safety, the operator just pushes the button one direction or the other to toggle between SAFE and FIRE. While not difficult to do, there are two key things that could be improved upon.
Firstly, depending on what side of the firearm you are standing on, the only person who can visually confirm the SAFE or FIRE state of the firearm is the user. Secondly, regardless of whether you are left-handed or right-handed, you must break your grip at least once to bring the firearm from a state of SAFE or FIRE to the other and back.
An ambidextrous rotary safety addresses both of these primary concerns with a single upgrade! A safety selector with levers on both sides of the firearm visibly shows a clear difference between SAFE and FIRE to the user and those standing nearby. The RSOs at your local range and matches are sure to love you for it. Plus, you can now toggle between SAFE and FIRE while maintaining a positive grip on the firearm with your shooting hand; right-handed or left-handed!
Additionally, a toggle-style safety selector reduces the possibility of an accidental button push. Resting your firearm on an uneven surface could potentially switch a cross bolt safety from the intended SAFE or FIRE position to its unintended opposite. A rotary safety reinforces that any change in the firearm’s state must be intentional and thus helps make it safer.
Cornerstone Safeties have been wildly popular for the Ruger® Mark IV™ and Mark IV™ 22/45™ and are now also available for the PC Carbine™ and PC Charger™. The Cornerstone Rotary Safety for Ruger® 10/22® was once only available when installed in the Manticore Trigger Assembly, but it can be yours today!
You and your firearm both deserve an upgrade that makes your life easier. Grab an ambidextrous Cornerstone Rotary Safety for Ruger® 10/22® and make your good gun great!
Are you looking for a way to simplify the install of your Cornerstone? Then you should grab the Gunsmither™ Safety Tool for Ruger® 10/22®!

Again a great product
I always purchase two of them, one red, and one black. I like having the red on the left to help see it. The other side I can feel it with my fingers. They work very well. And, yes, I have two trigger groups that need them. Thanks for a innovative product.

Cornerstone Rotary Safety for Ruger 10/22
Another very easy install ambidextrous so nice for us left hand shooters. Suggest ordering the 10/22 safety and trigger assembly tool just in case. I didn't need it but was there if I did.

Smooth install, nice functional improvement
So first the good: these get rid of my #1 complaint about cross-bolt safeties: breaking your grip to work them. The install was super easy, and the videos online from TandemKross fantastic. The only bad part is that depending on the stock you have (I have mine in a Tac Driver stock), you may have less clearance to operate it than otherwise. Also - pro-tip, if you have a polymer trigger housing, use the tip of a drill or even a small phillips screwdriver to make a little dimple and put some paint in the dimple to mimic a safety position indicator.

Great visibility
Makes it very easy to see if rifle is on safe. Like that you can engage from either side of rifle. Easy to install.

Easy to see and feel
I usually buy one of each (red and black) so that I can have a red flag on the left side and easily tell whether the safety is on or not. How about making just the flags available in different colors to match the finish of other builds?

Cornerstone Rotary Safety switch
This product does a great job in making quick and easy selecting the safety on or off. During matches we sometimes are required to shoot left handed and I found myself pushing the factory safety to the safe position thus stopping my shots. This makes it super easy to switch on and off quickly when needed. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star rating is because there is no visual to show that the safety is on or off (color code like the manual safety).

Excellent Upgrade
The Tandemkross rotary safety set for the Ruger 10/22 is a terrific upgrade over the OEM push button safety. Just one flick of the finger and the weapon is safe or ready to fire.

Cross Fire Safety
Excellent well made safety upgrade. Installs easily (if you remember 90 degrees is a quarter turn and not a half turn)! Great upgrade to 10/22
