All firearms must be in proper working condition. Users are responsible for ensuring all components are legal and compliant with federal, state, and local laws.

A force reset trigger (FRT) is a type of trigger that is mechanically reset by the firearm’s action after each shot. Instead of resetting only when the shooter releases pressure, the trigger is driven forward automatically to its reset position.

Orders typically ship within 3–5 business days, excluding weekends and holidays.

Force reset triggers (FRTs) are not legal in all states. They are generally prohibited in California, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Maryland, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Delaware, and Rhode Island, with additional restrictions or enforcement actions in Colorado, Minnesota, Oregon, Vermont, Washington, and the District of Columbia. FRTs still require a separate trigger pull for each shot, and laws can change, so it is the user’s responsibility to ensure compliance with all federal, state, and local regulations.

This FRD is designed to function only in low‑shelf, mil‑spec rifles. It is not compatible with high‑shelf receivers or non‑mil‑spec platforms. Proper fit and function depend on standard mil‑spec geometry

All sales are Final. Orders placed from illegal states are subject to a %25 restocking fee.

Your firearm may be firing force reset in the semi position because of different tolerances in lower receivers

To fix this issue you must very slowly remove material from the longest leg of the FRD, be sure to keep the same shape and to be very care as this leg is what resets your trigger and removing to much material will result in the FRD to no longer work.
