Frequently Asked Questions

What modifications are needed for the AS Designs ARC Fire selector?

The ARC Fire selector requires a modified trigger shoe and a relief cut in the AR-15 upper receiver for the safety lever to clear properly. Compatibility with Geissele triggers also necessitates a specific blocker component.

How does the ARC Fire selector differ from traditional FRTs?

The ARC Fire offers a 'Super Safe' forced reset mode with smooth operation and is generally considered more reliable and cost-effective than many traditional cassette-style FRTs, which can have reliability issues and higher price points.

What are the reported failure points of competing products?

The Atreus Super Selector has been reported to experience binding issues and lever cracking after minimal use (around 150 rounds). Traditional FRTs may require a 'sweet spot' and can hang up if the trigger is pulled too hard.

What are the functional modes of the ARC Fire selector?

The ARC Fire selector features three modes: Safe, Semi-automatic, and 'Super Safe,' which engages the forced reset mechanism, allowing for a rapid rate of fire while maintaining semi-automatic classification.
