About this product

This is a Super Safety Curved Face Trigger Kit built from D2 tool steel, an active/forced reset trigger (FRT) system for the AR-15 platform designed to mechanically reset the trigger using the rifle's own cycling action for faster, more consistent single-round trigger resets.

What is a forced/active reset trigger?

A standard AR-15 trigger resets only after the shooter releases pressure on the trigger far enough for the internal disconnector to catch the hammer again. An active or forced reset trigger uses the motion of the bolt carrier group cycling to help push the trigger forward and reset it mechanically, which can shorten the time between shots for a shooter who is already releasing the trigger normally. This kit uses a curved-face trigger shoe made from D2 tool steel that has already been hardened and precision-machined, with drop-in mil-spec dimensions for compatibility with standard AR-15 lower receivers.

What is included and what do I need to install it?

The kit is built around mil-spec dimensions for a standard drop-in installation, and proper function depends on pairing the trigger with an appropriate bolt carrier group and buffer weight, since the reset mechanism relies on specific cycling characteristics to work correctly. Buyers should follow the manufacturer's setup guidance closely, including buffer and BCG recommendations, rather than assuming any AR-15 upper/lower combination will function identically with this trigger installed.

What should I know about the legal status of active reset triggers?

Several states currently restrict or ban forced-reset and other rate-of-fire-enhancing trigger devices, including California, and the list of restricted states has changed over time as new state laws have been passed. Because this device is regulated differently from a standard drop-in trigger, confirm current state and local law before ordering, and do not install or possess this device in a jurisdiction where active reset triggers are restricted. This is a parts purchase, not a firearm, so it ships directly to the buyer rather than through an FFL, but that does not exempt it from state-level restrictions on the device itself.

Because the reset mechanism depends on the host rifle's specific configuration, expect to spend some range time verifying reliable function with your particular upper and buffer setup before relying on the trigger for serious use.

Compared to a full custom trigger job or a hand-fit competition trigger, a drop-in kit like this is a faster and less expensive way to change a rifle's trigger feel, provided the reset mechanism functions correctly with your specific build. Some owners run these kits purely for the curved-face ergonomics and improved trigger pull weight even before considering the reset feature, since the D2 steel construction and machining quality stand on their own compared to a stock mil-spec trigger.

As with any AR-15 trigger swap, proper installation matters for both safety and reliable function. If you are not comfortable performing a trigger group swap yourself, a competent gunsmith familiar with AR-15 fire control groups can install this kit and verify safe function before you take it to the range.

Since this is a parts purchase rather than a firearm, no federal background check or FFL transfer is required to buy it, and it can be shipped straight to your address. That does not change your obligation to independently verify your state and local laws regarding active reset trigger devices before ordering or installing one.

Not available in California

California classifies forced-reset triggers as multiburst trigger activators under Penal Code sections 16930 and 32900. They cannot be sold, shipped or possessed in California, and this remains the case regardless of the current federal position. We cannot ship this item to a California address. Buyers in other states are responsible for confirming their own state and local law before ordering.

Frequently asked questions

What does this trigger kit do differently from a standard AR-15 trigger?
It uses the rifle's cycling action to help mechanically reset the trigger, aiming for a faster, more consistent reset between shots.
What is the trigger made from?
D2 tool steel, hardened and precision-machined, with a curved-face trigger shoe.
Does this ship as a firearm?
No, this is a parts kit and ships directly to the buyer, not through an FFL.
Is this legal everywhere?
No. Several states restrict active/forced reset trigger devices, and the list has changed over time. Confirm current state and local law before ordering.
Will this work with any AR-15 build?
Function depends on pairing the trigger with a compatible bolt carrier group and buffer weight per the manufacturer's setup guidance; not every configuration will run identically.
