Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Forced Reset Trigger (FRT)?

A Forced Reset Trigger (FRT) is a firearm trigger mechanism that automatically resets itself after each shot. This allows a shooter to maintain continuous trigger pull for rapid firing, unlike a standard semi-automatic trigger which requires manual release to reset.

Why did the ATF try to ban Forced Reset Triggers?

The ATF classified FRTs as machine guns, arguing they allow a weapon to shoot multiple times without manual reloading. Under the National Firearms Act (NFA), machine guns have strict possession limits. The ATF's actions began in July 2021, targeting companies like Rare Breed Triggers.

What was the outcome of the recent court ruling on FRTs?

A judge in the Northern District of Texas ruled that Forced Reset Triggers are not machine guns. This decision stops the ATF from treating them as illegal, though the government is appealing the ruling. The ATF has been ordered to return seized triggers.

How can someone get their seized FRT back?

If you are a member of the National Association for Gun Rights or Texas Gun Rights, or purchased from a business member of these groups, you may be able to retrieve your seized FRT. Specific instructions are available in the video description.
