FRT ≠ Machine Gun
Pros & cons
What works
- 4-inch width provides clear visibility at distance
- 2-gram weight adds negligible mass to surfaces
- 0.15mm thickness allows conforming to 1-inch radii
- 11.2 square inches of adhesive surface area
Trade-offs
- No application tool included—requires manual positioning
- Single sticker only—no multiples in package
- Not weatherproof—UV degradation begins at 6 months outdoor exposure
- Cannot be repositioned once adhesive contacts surface

About this product
The FRT ≠ Machine Gun sticker is a 4-inch wide vinyl decal that serves as a technical statement on forced reset trigger mechanics. This precision-cut adhesive marker provides clear dimensional specification and material composition for firearm enthusiasts and engineers alike.
What is the FRT ≠ Machine Gun sticker used for?
This sticker serves as an educational marker clarifying forced reset trigger mechanics, not automatic fire capability. It provides visual distinction between semi-automatic forced reset systems and fully automatic firearms. The 4-inch width ensures clear visibility on cases, range bags, or lower receivers.
How does the FRT ≠ Machine Gun sticker compare to the FFT Hat?
The sticker delivers technical clarification while the FFT Hat offers brand representation. The sticker provides immediate mechanical education in 4 square inches, whereas the hat serves as general apparel. For technical documentation, the sticker outperforms headwear in conveying specific engineering concepts.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The sticker weighs 2 grams and measures exactly 4 inches wide by 2.8 inches tall. These dimensions provide 11.2 square inches of adhesive surface area. The 0.15mm vinyl thickness ensures durability without adding significant mass to application surfaces.
Who is this NOT for?
This product is not for those seeking functional firearm components or legal documentation. It provides no mechanical function beyond adhesive decoration. Those requiring actual trigger systems should consider the technical analysis in our FRT regulatory article.
What's in the box?
The package contains one 4-inch vinyl sticker with release liner protection. Each unit includes precisely cut adhesive backing measuring 4" × 2.8". No additional components or installation tools are provided—just the single decal.
Is the FRT ≠ Machine Gun sticker worth it at $5?
At $5, this sticker provides cost-effective technical communication compared to custom engraving. The price reflects precision vinyl cutting and clear mechanical messaging. For those requiring functional components, the investment in actual trigger systems would be substantially higher.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with curved surfaces?
- Yes, the 0.15mm vinyl flexes to conform to radii exceeding 1 inch. Application requires surface temperatures above 60°F for proper adhesion. Not recommended for compound curves below 0.75 inch radius.
- Does it fit on AR-15 lower receivers?
- The 4-inch width fits most Mil-Spec lower receiver flat surfaces. Requires 3.5 inches of uninterrupted flat area for optimal adhesion. Not designed for curved pistol grip surfaces.
- How long does shipping take?
- Standard shipping via USPS First Class Mail takes 3-5 business days. Express options available through UPS for 2-day delivery. Processing time is 24 hours before shipment.
- Can I return it if applied incorrectly?
- No returns once adhesive backing is removed. Incorrectly applied stickers cannot be resold. Contact support within 14 days for replacement consideration if unused.
- Does this work with matte finishes?
- Optimal adhesion requires clean, non-porous surfaces. Works best on anodized aluminum, glass, or polymer with 70°F application temperature. Not recommended for textured or porous surfaces.
