mine worked perfect with geissele buffer and spring. But since I bought it on an impulse, and took it out for hunting season because i use the same rifle to hunt. I would let it go at same cost to someone if they wanted it

On my 11.5” carbine buffer tube setup I use a Geissele H2 and it runs incredibly fast and no stoppages unless the shooter pulls the trigger too hard. |

Apparently Rare Breed got an ATF raid today.

@Ben
For lawyering up and fighting ATF seizures you're the public expert. Could those of us who own FRTs get your input? |

Rare breed just put a video out on their Instagram saying that they did not get raided and that the dude who said they did should be ashamed for lying.

Without having to read through almost 40 pages. Is there any 22lr's AR's this will work with? Either a dedicated 22lr, or a 22lr upper?
My neighbor bought one and brought it to me cause it would not cycle more than a few rounds before jamming. I tried my H3 buffer and tubbs flat wire spring from my AR and it ran perfectly. While shooting it, the only thing I could think of would be just how fun this would be in 22lr, if it would work with any. |

There's a 3 position FRT-15 mod floating in the wild out there.

View Quote Never heard of them, but that’s what I want. Rare Breed not having a dedicated semi position is why I’ve never bought one. Any reviews or vids on these Tommy Triggers? I couldn’t find any. |

Keep in mind, these include 4 set screws to secure in lower and a set screw to adjust trigger pull. It also includes some improved locking block spring/guide. Imagine pairing this with the Armament reset mod + new locking bar. |

Me being me, I have one on the way. I cannot see this ending in any other way than a cease and desist. I mean, they even call it the “FRT-15-3MD”. 🙄

I'm assuming a bunch of single position FRTs' will be dumped on the market.
If someone were buying/selling one, how do you tell version 1 from version 2? When was the update made? Asking for a friend. ETA - Never mind....found it after going through the thread again. Those ordered after 3/1/21 were slightly update. |

Take that video, set it to 1080 60fps playback and set the playback speed to .25 on the slow end. You can watch his finger move forward to the reset position and back as he pulls the trigger again. You can also see the muscles tension in his forearm change as his finger moves between reset and fire. I'm quite sure capturing that clearly with the recording was intentional. Is Rare Breed a shot show exhibitor?

All that said, the point of my post was I'm pretty sure that particular angle, video quality and frame rate were created and posted to announce the 3 position trigger group so they can point back to the actions required for function if/when the design is evaluated for legal compliance. Many of the other RBT videos were taken for commercial marketing and didn't fully capture what you can see in that angle. |

I don’t see how any video angle or editing will have ANY legal weight. Zero. None. Nada. On the functional legality of their trigger. Neither does having a select fire option. I honestly think talking about the video angles is a waste of time and moot. |

Does anyone know if the FRT-15 will function with a LW BCG and the TACCOM buffer/spring combo? I have an 11.5" I would love to put one in, but don't want to damage anything if it's not compatible.

That tail is a bit on the long side so should work fine. I just don't understand these issues everyone has. I just drop the trigger into a lower (which I build, basic parts), H3 buffer, Full auto carrier - and presto, full function. None of my three triggers ever has a problem in 5.56, 300BK, 9mm, and shortly I assume .22. I'm not using special parts other than a Wolff xtra power spring which isn't necessary. Uppers from 11.5" to 20". All my carriers measure at least 1.57". I've run 5K or 6K rounds through my first trigger and no issues, no spring problems, just keeps running and running with any upper I throw on it. Don't need all these extra springs I bought. On every gun I have with an FRT-15, I usually have to pull the charging handle just a smidge to close the receivers. I only experience hammer follow with bolt bounce, cured by an H2 or H3 buffer. I get bolt bounce in my 9mm PCC if I don't go heavier than 5.4oz/H3 (I run an 8.5 in slow semi auto, or 12oz with FRT because it's suppressed) but my friend's PCC shot fine with 4.7oz and regular spring but it ran very very fast, which is fine if you like that. I like it slower.

But I think the quality control maybe questionable at times. Like I posted some like you have no issues and others like me end up beating our heads against the wall trying to get it to work. I could write a full page on everything I went through. Some of it was just bad luck. After everything I learned, I have probably helped more than 5 people get theirs running. |

People have to understand these are more complicated than normal semi auto triggers. People are used to trouble shooting semi auto problems, not full auto type timing problems. For years the tail length of the bolt carrier hasn't mattered to 99.9% of AR shooters. Add an FRT and it's immediately important. Use a standard buffer and a regular semi auto rarely cares. Mix it with a FRT and you've got a consistently dead gun. Have a normal AR with a few thousandths mismatch between the upper/lower pins and thr fcg pins, it doesn't matter. Do it with a FRT and it's got timing issues. Have a bolt carrier that's to short, more timing issues. Upper that's longer or shorter a few thousandths affecting where the BCG stops, more timing issues.
Lots of parts come into play that are almost irrelevant in the function of normal AR's. Thankfully, most guns are pretty close to mil spec and just need a H2 or H3 buffer added. |
