Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Freedom Ordnance FG-15 trigger crank work?

The FG-15 uses an internal piston located within the grip's mounting bolt. When the crank is rotated in 'Fire' mode, this piston directly actuates the firearm's trigger bar, enabling rapid firing without an external trigger pull mechanism.

What materials are used in the Freedom Ordnance FG-15?

The FG-15 grip is constructed from durable 4140CM steel with a QPQ treatment for enhanced hardness and corrosion resistance. Its machined parts are sourced from the USA, while the internal ball bearings are imported from Japan.

Is the Freedom Ordnance FG-15 compatible with all AR-15 triggers?

The FG-15 is designed to be compatible with most AR-15 triggers that feature an exposed trigger bar. This allows for broad application across various AR-15 builds and trigger groups.

What are the different operational modes of the FG-15?

The FG-15 offers three modes: 'Locked' for stowing the crank handle, 'Neutral' which allows the crank to spin freely without firing, and 'Fire' which engages the internal piston to actuate the trigger.
