The ATF Absolutely HATES This Trigger

This video provides an expert review of the Rare Breed FRT-15L3, a 3-position forced reset trigger for AR-15 platforms. The host, demonstrating high authority, details its semi-automatic functionality, legal defense by Rare Breed and NAGR, and the mechanics of the forced reset system. Technical specifications, compatibility recommendations (H3 buffer, full-auto BCG), and pricing are covered, offering a comprehensive look at this unique trigger.

This video provides an in-depth review and installation guide for the Partisan Disruptor FRT, a cassette-style forced reset trigger. The host, demonstrating high-level expertise, compares it directly to the Rare Breed trigger, noting superior semi-auto break and reset, and the use of quality Torx anti-walk pins. He also discusses its compatibility limitations, particularly with the Sig MCX platform, and highlights its performance on various AR builds, including a 10.5-inch pistol and a 20-inch heavy barrel rifle.

This video details the incompatibility of the Rare Breed FRT with the Brownells BRN-4 upper receiver. The speaker, demonstrating high-level technical understanding, explains that the BRN-4's larger bolt carrier group dimensions prevent the upper and lower receivers from closing when the FRT is installed. The content highlights the importance of checking component compatibility, especially with clone or imitation firearms.

Micah Mayfield details extensive testing of Forced Reset Triggers (FRTs) across various firearm platforms, including AR-15 variants, PCCs, and a shotgun. The testing highlights critical compatibility issues related to Bolt Carrier Group (BCG) geometry and action types, with some platforms like the Daniel Defense PCC and LaRue AR-15 performing exceptionally well, while others like the PSA Jakl and Genesis Arms Gen 12 failed. The video also touches upon the legal standing of FRTs, emphasizing their distinction from machine guns.

This guide details the installation and testing of an EOTech optic on an FB Radom Beryl rifle equipped with a Texas Triggers FRT. It covers the unique features of the Beryl, including its proprietary quick-detachable top rail and the mechanics of the Forced Reset Trigger. The process emphasizes ensuring optic zero retention after re-mounting the rail system, highlighting the rifle's rapid-fire capabilities and accuracy.

Colion Noir reviews the Rare Breed FRT trigger on a custom Sig MCX Rattler LT, highlighting its rapid semi-automatic fire capability achieved by using recoil to reset the trigger. He contrasts it with the B&T TP9 trigger and discusses its defensive utility, while also reviewing the G-Code Scorpion Assaulter belt system. The video emphasizes that the FRT, despite its speed, remains a legal semi-automatic mechanism.

This video demonstrates the proper technique for loading the M1 Garand to prevent 'Garand Thumb'. It emphasizes maintaining downward pressure on the top round to control the bolt's cycling. The content debunks the idea that 'Garand Thumb' is inevitable, attributing it to inexperience and improper handling.

The Altyn helmet, a Russian titanium model, is tested for its ballistic capabilities. While effective against 9mm NATO and 00 buckshot, it fails to stop rifle rounds like 5.56x45mm and .308 Winchester. The visor cracks under birdshot impact. Despite its historical reputation, its extreme weight and lack of rifle protection make it outdated compared to modern composite helmets.

This ballistic test by Garand Thumb reveals that NIJ Level 3A rated ballistic masks, while stopping some projectiles, fail to adequately protect the wearer due to extreme backface deformation. Hits from a .44 Magnum caused fatal deformation, and rifle rounds completely penetrated. The conclusion is that these masks are largely ineffective and potentially dangerous, recommending helmets and proper training instead.

This video delves into the notorious 'Garand Thumb' phenomenon, explaining its mechanics and pain level through direct testing. It covers the M1 Garand's history, technical specifications, and proper loading techniques to avoid injury, including the 'bladed hand' method. The content also features novice testing and concludes with advice on training and firearm ownership.
