The photo they used on the site looks awful. That AR looks like it came from a Somali pirate boat.

Didn't the National Association of Gun Rights win a court injunction that essentially prevents their members from getting their FRTs confiscated from ATF?

They know it’s going to be confiscated. That’s the sacrificial lamb.
It has taken two years and how much money on lawyers for the Rare Breed FRT-15 trigger to get to where they are? I just don't get why they would come to market now. I can't imagine that they thought that the ATF would look the other way. So why come to market before Rare Breed gets a final outcome? Time will tell.

Now we will have FRT suing all the other manufacturers. It’s my understanding that the basic forced reset design is patented and FRT has exclusive rights to use the patent. They fought long and hard to get their case through the courts and defeat the BATF&E. To me, if I was going to buy such a trigger, I would certainly buy from the guy who put his money and time into fighting the good fight. YMMV.

Two points (with the caveat that I have not read Rare Breed’s patent):

First, having a patent doesn’t necessarily mean no one else can make the same class of product. There are usually ways to design around a patent, especially if you are not the original pioneer of the technology. Supposedly a Mr. Graves has worked on similar tech for close to 50 years, so I doubt Rare Breed’s patent is so broad as to prevent all other forced-reset trigger designs.

Second, patents vary wildly in quality. Some are barely worth the paper they are printed on due to poorly drafted claims or validity issues. For instance, those companies advertising cheap patent preparation services on the internet usually do not deliver a great product. Again, I wouldn’t assume just having a patent means they’ve got the market boxed out without closer examination.

Like you, I do admire that Rare Breed fought back in court and seemingly won. SCOTUS’s bumpstock decision probably reinforces that forced-reset triggers should not be banned. I hope they have a robust patent and are rewarded for their efforts.

I’ll say that I’ve tried the rare breed and it ran great. Needed a 3-position selector to make it an option. Sold mine long ago as 2-position wasn’t worth it to me. This was way before the crackdown. Saw the 3 position conversions and got interested again and then the legal stuff happened.

I have no doubt these will someday be banned “properly” by the federal legislature and the obligatory state legislative critters.

Right now as the gray-area umbrella is again casting welcome shade over this whole thing once more I’m looking forward to buying a rare breed with 3 position-selector when available, and enjoying that while it lasts.

I rather want to try a FRT. One day I'll do a super safety or something.

No grey area. It's semi auto. Requires the trigger to be pulled for every round just as Congress defined a SA firearm. Would take an act of Congress to change that.
