Frequently Asked Questions
What is a forced reset trigger and how does it function?
A forced reset trigger is designed to automatically push the trigger forward after each shot is fired. This mechanism "resets" the trigger without you having to release pressure completely. By maintaining steady pressure on the trigger, the system enables extremely rapid firing rates. Essentially, the trigger does the work of resetting itself, allowing for faster follow-up shots on your weapon platform.
Are these triggers compatible with all AR-15 platforms?
These triggers are compatible with most AR-15s, but not all. Your rifle needs to meet two key requirements:
A low shelf lower receiver
A full auto bolt carrier group
The good news is that approximately 90% of modern AR-15 rifles come with both of these features. You can check the compatibility list below to see if your specific lower receiver is compatible.
Can I shoot single rounds without using the forced reset feature?
For the AR Kit: Absolutely! One of the best features of this trigger system is its versatility. It comes with three different firing modes you can select from:
Single shot mode - Fire one round at a time normally
"Super safe" mode - Activates the forced reset function
Safe - Weapon is on safe
Important Note: The TX22 and Glock FRT kits are forced reset only and do not have a single shot mode option.
