Does the FRT-15 ™ require a three-position or select fire safety selector?

The FRT-15 ™ is a two-position trigger. It has two positions, ‘safe’ or ‘forced reset semi-auto’. Due to its patented design, the trigger is forced into a reset after each round that is fired.

Are Rare Breed Triggers legal in all states?

The legality of Rare Breed Triggers varies significantly by state and even at the federal level. Due to their unique forced reset mechanism, they are subject to varying interpretations of firearm regulations. It is crucial to check your local and state laws before purchasing or installing a Rare Breed Trigger. We do not ship to locations where these triggers are prohibited. It is the responsibility of the customer to know their local laws. We provide information as a courtesy, but cannot provide legal advice.

What is a Rare Breed Trigger, and how does it differ from standard triggers?

Rare Breed Triggers, particularly the FRT-15, are designed to enhance the speed and efficiency of your firearm. Unlike standard triggers that require a full release and reset for each shot, Rare Breed Triggers utilize a forced reset mechanism. This means that as the bolt carrier group cycles, the trigger is automatically reset, allowing for exceptionally rapid follow-up shots. This design significantly reduces the time between shots, offering a distinct advantage in competitive shooting or tactical scenarios. However, it is important to note that the legality of these triggers varies by jurisdiction, and it is the responsibility of the customer to understand and comply with local laws.

How difficult is it to install a Rare Breed Trigger?

Installation difficulty can vary depending on your experience with firearm maintenance. Generally, Rare Breed Triggers, especially drop-in models, are designed for relatively straightforward installation. However, we recommend that those unfamiliar with firearm mechanics seek assistance from a qualified gunsmith. Detailed installation instructions are provided with each trigger, and online resources are available to guide you through the process. Ensure your firearm is unloaded and safe before attempting any installation.

What types of firearms are compatible with Rare Breed Triggers?

Our primary focus is on AR-15 platform rifles, as the FRT-15 and many of our other triggers are designed specifically for this system. However, we also offer triggers and components compatible with other platforms. Please check the product specifications on our website to ensure compatibility with your specific firearm model. If you are unsure, contact our customer service team, and they will be happy to assist you.

What is the warranty on Rare Breed Triggers?

Specific warranty terms and conditions may vary depending on the product. Please refer to the warranty information included with your purchase or contact our customer service team for detailed information.

What is the difference between a drop-in trigger and a standard Trigger?

A drop-in trigger is designed for easier installation, typically coming as a self-contained unit that requires minimal fitting. Standard triggers, on the other hand, often require more intricate installation and may involve fitting individual components. Drop-in triggers are generally preferred for their simplicity and ease of use, especially for those with less experience in firearm maintenance.

How do I clean and maintain my Rare Breed Trigger?

Regular cleaning and maintenance are essential for optimal performance. We recommend using a high-quality gun cleaner and lubricant to clean the trigger mechanism. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that may damage the trigger components. Detailed cleaning instructions are provided in the product manual.

What are the benefits of upgrading to a Rare Breed Trigger?

Upgrading to a Rare Breed Trigger offers several benefits, including improved trigger pull, reduced reset time, and enhanced speed and accuracy. These enhancements can significantly improve your shooting performance, especially in competitive or tactical scenarios.

How does the forced reset trigger mechanism work?

The forced reset trigger mechanism uses the firearm’s recoil energy to reset the trigger, allowing for rapid follow-up shots. As the bolt carrier group cycles, it engages a mechanism that resets the trigger, eliminating the need for manual reset.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes, we offer worldwide shipping. However, due to varying international regulations, some restrictions may apply. Please check our shipping policy for detailed information on international shipping rates and restrictions. It is the customer’s responsibility to adhere to all local and international laws.

How can I track my order?

What payment methods do you accept?

Will the FRT-15 ™ function in an AR-9mm or AR-10?

As of now, we are only offering the FRT-15 ™, which has been designed and produced to operate in the standard AR-15 running 5.56 or 300BLK. The FRT-15 will NOT operate in an AR-10 or an AR with a 22LR conversion kit. In some but not all cases, the FRT-15 ™ will run in an AR-9mm. That said, we have already designed and prototyped the FRT-9 and FRT-10. They have not been put into production just yet, but it shouldn’t be too far down the road until they’re available.
