Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Forced Reset Trigger (FRT) and how does it work on B&T firearms?

A Forced Reset Trigger (FRT) is a semi-automatic trigger mechanism that mechanically resets after each shot fired, allowing for a very high rate of fire. East Valley Tactical installs custom FRT selectors on B&T APC and GHM platforms, enhancing their performance.

Does the FRT conversion on B&T firearms maintain the factory warranty?

Yes, East Valley Tactical has worked with B&T to ensure that conversions performed by EVT maintain the factory warranty on B&T firearms. This is a significant benefit for owners of these premium weapons.

What are the legal implications of using a Forced Reset Trigger?

FRTs are legally classified as semi-automatic because the trigger must reset for every shot fired. However, their high rate of fire has drawn regulatory attention, as noted by the DOJ's actions against certain FRT manufacturers.

Which B&T models can be converted to use an FRT?

The FRT conversion is available for B&T's APC and GHM series firearms. This includes popular models like the APC9, APC223, and GHM9, across various calibers.
