I much prefer the MOA of the RBT style of trigger. Especially now that 3 position FRTs and upgrade kits are becoming a thing, I think a more traditional style of selector is the way to go. I did find that the RBT pack would not play nice with an AR47 lower and would get in the way of the AK magazine release. SS in an AR47 is no problem. Definitely pluses and minuses to both types. |

View Quote I'm a lefty and I think it's the ideal position because when the rifle hangs against my gear it's helping to push the safety into the safe position and I think if if I was a righty the safety is more likely to get switched to semi auto accidently when it's slung across me. Simple physics and shit. |

Until they show me a law and court order stating they are illegal the ATF can fuck right off. No idea why anyone surrendered any of these in the first place. The ATF gets away with this because people let them. The ATF will do it again and people will surrender them even though they have no legal standing to do such. Also lots of good information in this thread, thanks for the MP5 information. |

How much material did you have to remove? Is that a high shelf lower? View Quote Have you read GMR's installation/information pages? You may have to do some fitting to get it to work right. The bolt binding is a pretty common question on the FB group. Do the cut on the upper receiver, if it still binds after that then sand a little off the top of the lever until it stops binding. The advice used to be to sand the top of lever until it works and at some point it switched to cut the upper first so you didnt have to sand as much on the lever. Either way works, but the lever is stronger if you cut the upper first. https://greymarketresearch.net/info-instructions/ |

I don’t have an exact measurement on the amount I removed off the shelf, but it was probably close to 1/3”. You can remove too much, so be careful. If the lever lays to low, the bolt won’t engage it. As for the lever, I used a course Emory board and took my time. Finish it with a fine Emory board for smoothness. It doesn’t take much. You will get proficient on removing/replacing the hammer, trigger group, and safety. |
