This video showcases the installation of a three-position Force Reset Trigger (FRT) on an Arsenal 107 SBR AK platform. The presenter demonstrates the functionality of the FRT, highlighting its semi-automatic, force reset, and full-automatic modes. The video also includes a brief test firing session with both supersonic and subsonic ammunition to illustrate potential differences in recoil and sound.

Quick Summary

A three-position Force Reset Trigger (FRT) for AK platforms provides semi-automatic, force reset, and full-automatic firing modes. The FRT is designed to act as a 'recoil delete,' significantly reducing felt recoil during rapid fire by enabling faster cycling of the action.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a three-position FRT for an AK platform?

A three-position Force Reset Trigger (FRT) for AK platforms offers three distinct firing modes: semi-automatic, force reset (which simulates full-auto fire with rapid cycling), and traditional full-automatic fire. It's designed to enhance rate of fire and mitigate recoil.

How does a Force Reset Trigger (FRT) work on an AK?

The FRT mechanism on an AK allows for extremely rapid semi-automatic fire by resetting the trigger as soon as the bolt carrier group moves forward. The 'force reset' mode, often a middle position on a three-position selector, enables this rapid cycling, effectively acting like a recoil-canceling feature.

What are the benefits of installing an FRT on an AK?

Installing an FRT on an AK platform is primarily done to achieve a significantly higher rate of fire in semi-automatic mode, often described as a 'recoil delete.' This allows for faster follow-up shots and improved control during rapid firing sequences.

Can you use subsonic ammunition with an AK FRT?

Yes, you can use subsonic ammunition with an AK equipped with an FRT. The video demonstrates firing both supersonic and subsonic rounds, with the presenter noting a perceived difference in sound and potentially recoil when using subsonic loads.
