Which forced-reset trigger is engineered for your lower?

You are not buying a range toy. You are procuring a controlled, reliable, high-cycle-rate mechanism. The correct FRT is defined by your lower’s geometry and fire control group pocket. Our design accounts for shelf depth, pin alignment, and hammer arc. A mis-match causes a dead trigger. We provide the mill spec blueprint for your reference.

The FRD-15 core unit fits standard AR-15/M4 pattern lowers with a full auto pocket. The FRD-10 is machined for the SR-25/AR-10 platform. You must verify your lower’s compatibility. We list the exact lowers we have tested: Anderson, Aero Precision, Coltr, SOLGW. Polymer lowers or those with reinforced trigger pin holes often require fitting.

The installation is a precision operation

Installation is not “drop-in”. It is a fitting process. You will need a set of pin gauges, a .154" hammer pin, and a 1/16” punch. Remove your existing fire control group. Insert the FRT hammer first. The disconnector must sit flush against the trigger pin. The sear spring orientation is critical; a reversed spring causes runaway fire.

Test function with an empty, modified BCG (our recommended method) or a dummy round. The bolt carrier must trip the reset lever cleanly. If the hammer follows, check for sear engagement. The provided jig allows you to verify the reset lever’s travel. Do not use anti-walk pins. They change the critical geometry. We offer pre-assembled FRT lowers for a guaranteed fit.

Your bolt carrier group is not optional support gear

A standard M16-profile BCG will break your FRT. The cam pin impacts the reset lever with every cycle. A soft, mil-spec cam pin deforms. You need an FRT-specific BCG. Ours use a 8620 steel cam pin, heat-treated to 50 HRC, with a radiused lobe to reduce impact stress.

The carrier itself must be full-auto profile. The auto sear trip shelf must be present. We CNC our carriers from 9310 bar stock. The gas key is fastened with Grade 8 screws and staked to Milspec 86241. This prevents carrier tilt, which induces reset failures. Our compatibility list is short and proven: our own FRD BCG, and select models from Lantac and Sons of Liberty Gun Works.

Direct engineering. Direct sourcing.

We are the manufacturer. The engineering prints are on our bench. We source 4140 steel for hammers and 17-4 PH stainless for reset levers. Every component is shot-peened and QPQ nitrided. We test each batch in a registered M16 lower for a 5,000-round cycle count. This is not reseller speculation.

Your order ships free over $99. We accept Bitcoin for direct, private checkout. Your rebuild is a technical project. We supply the proven components and the exact data required for a successful build. The systems below are in stock and ready for your receiver.

Questions & Answers

Frequently asked

What payment methods do you accept?
We accept credit/debit cards, Bitcoin, and USDT via crypto checkout at checkout. Crypto payments are processed instantly with no chargebacks. All transactions are secure and encrypted. We never store payment information. For crypto payments, ensure you send the exact amount from a compatible wallet during the payment window.
Do you offer free shipping?
Yes, we offer free USPS Priority Mail shipping on all orders over $99. Orders under $99 ship for a flat $9.99. Most orders ship within 3-5 business days. Tracking is provided automatically. We ship daily except weekends and holidays. No shipping to restricted states or jurisdictions.
What is your return policy?
We accept returns within 30 days of delivery. Items must be unused, uninstalled, and in original packaging with all components. No returns on installed or modified triggers. Customer pays return shipping. Refunds are processed within 5 business days after we receive and inspect the return.
Are your triggers compatible with my AR-15?
Our forced-reset triggers work with mil-spec AR-15 lower receivers and most aftermarket lowers. They require a compatible bolt carrier group (we sell them). Not compatible with full-auto or proprietary systems. Check your lower's specifications—if it accepts standard AR fire control groups, our triggers will fit.
How do I install a forced-reset trigger?
Installation requires basic armorer skills and tools. We provide detailed instructions with each trigger. For DIY installs, you'll need punch pins, hammer, and vise block. We also offer professional installation services—select at checkout. Improper installation voids warranty. Always function test safely after installation.
Are these triggers legal?
Our products are designed and sold as components for legal sporting use. Compliance with local, state, and federal laws is the customer's responsibility. We ship only to jurisdictions where these items are legal. Consult an attorney if unsure. We do not provide legal advice.
Do you sell complete rifles with these triggers installed?
No, we only sell components: triggers, installation services, and compatible bolt carrier groups. We do not sell firearms or complete rifles. Our products are for end-users building or modifying their own legal firearms. All customers must be 18+ and legally eligible to purchase firearm parts.
