For those of you unfamiliar, the trigger is a "forced reset trigger" (imagine a bump stock, moved entirely into the trigger assembly). It resets the trigger using a clever mechanism behind the trigger that is actuated as the bolt cycles.
Here's my review: Wow.
Longer review: I've fired F/A before, both in the military and afterwards. It's really not a desirable way to fire an AR-15, all things considered, as you get rapid muzzle rise. This was no different. Perhaps more importantly, the manufacturer points out that it's really only a semi-auto with an instant reset, so you can fire semi by squeezing once and letting off the trigger. I was not successful getting off single shots. The best I was getting was triple and quad shots. Maybe it's because I'm getting "old" now, but I just wasn't able to get off the trigger for a single shot no matter how I tried (admittedly, I didn't try hard -- I was having too much fun
). The Rare Breed Trigger is expensive, but only about 2x the cost of a high-end trigger like from CMC.I loved shooting this, but I know it will be taken to the range rarely now. Unless I have a more reliable way to control the muzzle rise, this rifle is more of a novelty than a useful weapon. Of course, your opinion may differ on the usefulness of converting an AR-15 to legally shoot what appears to be full-auto.
One last comment: This is NOT a "DIY" drop-in installation(although it appears so). Reliable F/A also requires attention to the buffer system and the gas impingement, and I generally do not advise you put this in a "bargain brand" rifle. If you get one, my advice is to have a gunsmith install and test it.
Have fun!
