Forgotten Weapons weighs in, seeing no impact on transferables from FRTs.  DIAS still going for $40-50k!

A $40k DIAS is retarded at this point. I think in a few years they'll come down a bit.

Silly thread.  Shows how some people can be wrapped up in their own bubble, and not aware of anything outside of it.  Still though, doesn't bode well for FRT visibility when there are people like that out there.

I went to a gun show this weekend, first time in years.

Good lord there were so many tables that had FRTs and related stuff. They even had installation services and FRT ready to shoot ARs.

The genie is way out of the bottle.

One thing I didn't see were AZ regulators, cassette FRTs.

Mini Kabutos, SSs Glocks and TX FRTs etc, and lots of them.

We’re Going To Lose FRTs If People Keep Shooting Like This


Summary:

If people don’t learn to lean into burst fire & control recoil, shots over the berm will lead to ranges banning FRTs.

I don't shoot at public ranges much, but I'd honestly assume that most ranges have already banned FRTs, or at least limited who can shoot them.  I know one of the local ranges limits it to folks who are members at their range, and have taken their upper level Carbine class.

Our range allows members to use them but you have to be with a range officer the first time so he can observe that you can handle it. They also require you to be within 25 yards of the berm.  They only allow them on a special part of the range that is no open to the general public for use. It’s used for church security teams, CHL instructors, etc.  if it’s not in use then members can use frt’s and mg’s on it. Most use 223 and 7.62x39 AR platforms, 9mm pcc’s and TX22’s.

Glad I own my own shooting range.

I too went to a Fun Show and saw the Kabuto’s etc. They appear to be 3D printed looked like a Atrius lever thing.
Why even bother with that stuff unless you print your own and I am too old to learn that printer mess.

I think I read that even some of the simple lever/cam types were made of metal less than actual y enough for its purpose.

Funny, talking guns with a neighbor this week and had to explain FRTs to him.  He shoots some rifle precision game and several times shot bump stocks with me (not a fudd).  But didn't know there even was an FRT or anything in the past 5 years.  Next day sought me out and asked what was the name again of the fancy trigger?

First "factory" FRS rifle.  One Horse, whoever that is, with an Atrius.  Seems like a no-brainer to try to promote a small shop, if you don't mind getting sued by RBT.
https://www.ar15.com/forums/ar-15/Finally-a-rifle-that-comes-with-a-pre-installed-FRT-/130-794094/

Added a new #9 category for factory rifles with FRT/FRS.  One Horse selling their Exprss with Atrius for $1,000.

RR and DIAS update
Found some interesting Gunbroker pages.  Some months have AR/M16s, some don't.  But it doesn't show the lower items.
Prices don't seem to be down too much, if maybe not growing faster than inflation.
