Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 3-position Forced Reset Trigger (FRT)?

A 3-position FRT, like the Delta Team Tactical FRT-15 L3, is a firearm trigger that resets itself as the bolt carrier group moves forward. This mechanism allows for extremely rapid semi-automatic fire, significantly increasing the rate of shooting compared to standard triggers.

How does the FRT-15 L3 differ from other FRTs?

The FRT-15 L3 is a specific model from Delta Team Tactical featuring a three-position selector. While the core forced reset mechanism is similar to other FRTs, design variations exist, and the L3 model emphasizes durability with features like ambidextrous selectors and Torx screws.

Currently, FRT triggers are legal. The ATF has been ordered to return previously confiscated units, indicating a favorable regulatory environment for these types of triggers, though users should always stay informed about evolving laws.

What maintenance is required for FRT triggers, especially when suppressed?

When using suppressed firearms with an FRT, significant carbon buildup can occur in the trigger pocket. Regular cleaning is crucial to prevent malfunctions and ensure consistent performance. Neglecting this maintenance can lead to reliability issues.
