How It Works
Here's the cycle, step by step:
- You pull the trigger rearward. This releases the hammer and fires the round — just like a normal semi-auto trigger.
- Next, the bolt carrier moves rearward under gas pressure.
- While it moves back, the underside of the full-auto profile carrier pushes down on the FRDs reset lever.
- This motion travels through a simple cam. The cam then physically pushes the trigger forward into full reset.
- At this point, the trigger is locked. It cannot move rearward again until the bolt returns fully forward and locks into battery.
- Only after the bolt is locked and the disconnector hands the hammer back to the sear can you pull the trigger again.
- If you keep steady rearward pressure on the trigger, it fires the instant the bolt locks. The cycle then repeats
- This required return-to-battery lock is the key feature. It guarantees one separate trigger pull for every round. That is why the FRD remains a legal semi-automatic fire-control part under current ATF rules (November 2025).
Lever Types Explained
Untouched- Untouched levers are made of 316 steel that comes straight off the laser cutter and will need deburred and sanded for optimal function, these are a great option for those who own dremels or belt sanders
Smooth Finish- Smooth Finish levers are made of 316 steel, and they come with a smooth surface at the contact points for optimal function
AR500- AR500 Levers come with a smooth surface at the contact points and offers twice the durability of our 316 steel levers
