Are there any three position FRTs that work with modern Colt Lowers?

Fortunately the pre-ban Colt lowers allow Atrius safeties to be installed. The bolt carrier and trigger also need to be changed however, that is easy, and a good idea to swap out even without FRT use.

The Hoffman trigger kicker and one of the rare breed  ones will work.   I milled my ex LE trade in Colt with a 5d jig and run an Arizona regulator in it.  
 Adco and Bad Attitude offer the milling service.

As mentioned there is a RB that works, trigger kicker works (but is not three position yet), I thought I remembered claiming the LAT would work…don’t quote me.

I have not used these personally...  

https://datummachine.com/product/forced-reset-cassette-colt-large-pin-sleeves/

Make sure you need large pins for your Colt before you buy this...  I have a Colt lower that uses small pins.  

From Datum's web site:  

These work in the following FRTs:

DTT FRT-15L3
Rare Breed FRT-15L3 and FRT15-C3
Partisan Disruptor

I HAVE USED the regular sized Datum Machine sleeves for .154" pins, and those work great!

Just looking at the cassette style triggers, I would think they would work. Surprised there aren’t more guys using these lowers, especially since this is clone land.

I have a pre-ban (circa 2002) Colt 6920 with the large trigger pins and sear-block lower. Not the old school pinned block, but the internal sear block.  I'm running the RB FRT15-C3 with the DTM  Colt Large Pin Sleeves   with Spring Pins. The gun looks and runs like a real-deal M4.  Couldn't be happier.

Any update on the modified milspec selectors that will not over rotate on Colt lowers without selector stops?

In production now. We had already released them but sold out pretty quick.
