For Geissele trigger cuttting instructions, see page 18, post 14. AS Designs just announced an ambidextrous forced reset safety selector. Looks like the free market is doing what it does best, driving innovation. https://x.com/asdesignsfrts/status/1951362318463615221?s=46 **Introducing the AS Designs ARC-Fire – Active Reset Clutch Technology for Maximum Firepower** We’re proud to unveil the ARC-Fire, the latest innovation from AS Designs - a cutting-edge ambidextrous selector trigger system featuring our patent-pending Active Reset Clutch (ARC) technology. Designed to dramatically increase your firearm’s rate of fire without compromising control or compliance, the ARC-Fire forces the trigger to reset immediately after each shot, enabling rapid, precise follow-up shots - with one round per trigger pull, every time. **Built for Speed. Designed for Control.** *Multi-Platform Compatibility:* Engineered to support over 10 of the most widely used firearm platforms, with more on the horizon. *Ambidextrous Selector:* Fully ambi design provides fast, intuitive access for both right- and left-handed shooters. *Three-Position Control:* Selector positions include Safe, Semi, and ARC, putting enhanced speed and performance at your fingertips. **Reliable. Tactile. Responsive.** The ARC-Fire is built for shooters who demand performance and dependability. Our patent-pending design maximizes durability and reliability under sustained use. The selector switch is engineered for positive tactile feedback and effortless transitions - even under stress. **Go Faster. Stay in Control.** Whether you're running drills, competing, or simply pushing your platform to its limits, the ARC-Fire delivers an unmatched blend of speed, precision, and durability -giving you the edge every time you pull the trigger. AS Designs ARC-Fire - Reset Redefined. Coming Soon. |

Looks like notifications sign-up is live for the product page found here: https://activesafetydesigns.com/ar15/arc-fire-trigger-ambi-kit/ From just the one picture it seems like; Basically the Atrius system where the selector and spring move the cam/lever combo left and right to control safe, semi, reset. However unlike the Atrius it seems to keep the Super Safety Cam/lever geometry and the super safety thicker lever. Attached File |

| Yep, design looks rock solid. Build quality and material choices looks like they have addressed all of the concerns people have had with Atrius. The only “negative” I can see is it does seem to still require a SS cut trigger, but that’s a relatively mild issue. Although, would probably help their case for unique patent since it requires a modified trigger component. |

Hit the list to get one. If this would replace my SS 22lr set up and function just as well...I'd prefer the normal selector vs the cross bolt SS. Trouble is, 22lr FRT/SS and even real auto is so freaking fickle! I finnaly hit appon a combo the works as close to 100% as can be expected using rimfire ammo with a GMR SS. I'm almost scared to try something new

The designer said not to do it, but I tossed an Atrius into a Leber v2 with the selector cut out and ran 50rds through it yesterday.  I didn't read the "don't do it" until I already did it. |

(e.g., in the MP5, the roller mechanism delays the movement of the bolt, etc., but I do not know if there is any easy way to modify that). The force reset device is simply forcing the trigger to reset when the bolt pushes on it. The timing of the bolt pushing on the forced reset device has to do with the things listed above. |

MP5s run between 7-900 depending... MP5ks run around 11-1200. JAKL in 300 BO shooting 220 subs is slow like around 500rpm |

I signed up for the email alert when the link was posted. However I doubt I will get lucky enough to see the email in time. I just hope they do not sell more than they made (backorder) and end up like atrius. |

That is the main reason I am interested in this one and why I did not buy a atrius. No ambi was a deal breaker for me. Also the reason the AZ regulator was a good option too, as the original one does not require changes to the trigger or safety, and his new 3 position unit used a standard M16 selector, which ambi ones are available. |

I created a account and my CC is ready! Time to play the lottery. I would rather have this as opposed to a SS. I just can not get over the push button shit. I would rather have this than the atrius as this one is ambi. I shoot left handed and ambi is a must. That's the main reason I did not buy a atrius. Also 2 of these are cheaper than one RB. I just hope these are not shit. |
