Quoted: I like what Rare Breed is doing. I hear they have a good product and good customer support. People should buy as many of their products as possible to help them out. View Quote I like what they're doing, but when the spring broke in my FRT (which it didn't do in my geissele, BTW, it broke in a friend's PSA build) they told me to buy my own springs and that replacing those springs voided my warranty. (Which, according to the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act is illegal). THEN they released a second version quietly and ignored my follow up emails asking why they initially dismissed my claim. So... Good customer support? No. |

Quoted: At almost 400 dollars a trigger, I think that the whole purpose of this trigger is to support a legal defense fund. Larue can sell a MBT at $118.00, and Mr. G can do a SSA at $240. The FRT-15 isn’t that complicated, so that extra money has to be going somewhere. View Quote Well, to be fair, it's a better binary, and they're about that price, so I think it's fair to get your money's worth. |

Hear me out: Are criminals using P80 kits? Not on the same level as people with actual skill that could challenge the government. Same with suppressors.

Limited numbers in the wild, and mostly (all?) from one source vs orders of magnitude with bumpstocks, and that those were sold through many more sources (i.e. unlike one company being told, "Deemed illegal. Turn over all your records", with bumpstocks, they would have to find all the retailers who ordered batches, send them letters to get their record of sales etc. Plus they were sold in stores and face to face sales that were cash and carry etc. vs mostly online orders direct from the manufacturer). |

So basically, IF they are declared MG's, people are out $400 per pop. That would suck...
However, if this goes to court and Rare Breed comes out on top, the implications are huge. So buying one is a lot like donating $400 to pro 2A legal fund. |

Wanna bet ? https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/55482/Boom-1726988.jpg This was for pre-drilled/bent 80% flats sold about 10 years ago Lol…yes. 2004 was when there was the highest number of LE in American history. The Govt programs/funds to increase manpower for LE after 9-11 was in full swing. There were a combined 800k of Federal, State, and Local LE in the US. At the time, there between 70-100 million guns in the US according to NRA estimates. If 3% of the population of gun owners in the US at that time resisted ALL 100% of LE at the time, LE loses in less than a month. Since that time, there are more gun owners, and less LE. Additionally, you wont have 100% of LE working to go door to door to confiscate guns/triggers. Finally, ATF is a small organization with less 5200 people, including tech, admin etc. I doubt half of the 5200 are field agents. It sounds like there are more than 5200 triggers out there. So when I say AFT doesnt have the manpower to go door to door…I’m not kidding. |

Quoted: RBT seems to have created product this knowing that the government would send the ATF in to interpret this as a MG. What makes this unique is that they didn't submit this for approval in the first place. Why? The lawyer who is part of their ownership is a known 2A lawyer from the Orlando area. He was a firearms trust attorney and gun rights attorney for as long as I can remember. He is not stupid and had to know what was coming. Also there is a reason this trigger wasn't designed with a single fire selector (wink wink). So what they have up their sleeves and how they believe they can win is going to be interesting. If the ATF raids in a few weeks, it will be telling, in regards to their belief of winning this case. I wouldn't be surprised, if magically, a Chicago gangland shootout doesn't magically have firearms with RBTs in them. The government is afraid of precedence if they loose. Most of their interpretations are very loose and full of holes. Once their 'black is white and white is black' double speak dam breaks it has larger ramifications. The Congress does not have the appetite to actually vote in new laws. Once the ATF's ability to interpret new laws, out of thin air, is removed (slowed down) we can get back to business. This will play out in the courts quickly or will drag on a few years like the bump stock issue. Single trigger pull is easy to define. Judges who aren't political hacks...not so much. Either way keep buying them. If RBT wins, this trigger design will be an option on all semi auto AR type firearms. View Quote Yep. I hope the .gov keeps pushing it. The quicker the courts tell them their "interpretations" don't make law, the better. They will be put back in the box where they belong. |
