Will M16 values Plummet in the light of Forced Reset Triggers Being Legal

If you are impressed with a FRT, try a Super Safety. It's mo better. It's more reliable, much cheaper, won't bind with heavy trigger pull and a more simple design.

100% this.

I'd love to see M16 prices drop so I can get me one!

Ditto.

I was very close to buying an M16 when I tried the Super Safety. The SS functionality on an AR-15 is very reliable. The 3 position selector works well without thinking about the right force to squeeze the trigger.

I owned a Rare Breed FRT-15 but I did not like concentrating on the trigger and the 2 position got old very quick. It had the tendency of binding if the trigger was squeezed too hard. I sold the RB FRT-15. Even if they released a 3 position, I feel the SS is a better design.

I would like to have a better 22LR option with the SS. I think if the Hughes Amendment was repealed, I would get M16s. For now the SS has squashed any interest in buying a M16.

100% correct. My SS ran just fine out of the box, in both 5.56 and 9mm, using an h3 buffer with both. Compared to my F/A M16 lower, it is actually has more "feel" as I can feel the trigger reset and can control my rate of fire somewhat depending on my trigger squeeze. Run, don't walk, and get a SS ( and extra one and a extra bar or 2) and have fun! The 3 position works great too so when I go to a Fudd Range I just shoot semi except for the occasional double tap on SS. My Rare Breed worked fine but the 2 position was it's limiter. Go with a SS, get it up and running and don't look back. That fella Hoffman who invented this deserves an award.

Most of those are no surprise, but Florida, I would not have guessed.

After that school sh**ting, they enacted some serious guns laws. They even passed an assault weapons ban but they reversed it before they left room. I guess they figured out that they’d all get kicked out of office and immediately re-voted on it.
That being said, they passed an extremely vague gun law that basically said anything that increases the rate of fire, is illegal. Which is so vaguely worded, that it won’t stand up in court. You could argue that a match trigger allows that, a 100 round beta mag and so on. Unfortunately, it hasn’t been challenged yet.

Thankfully, MG’s are still legal.

As Ricky used to say, 'Splain sumptin' to me, Lucy. Assuming, arguendo, FRTs, SSS's, and the like are not NFA devices, how is it then, that a Lightning Link is an NFA device? Or is there an argument to declare Lightning Links as non-NFA devices, and remove them from the registry?

FRTs and SSs are not NFA items as a matter of fact. No need to assume it (for the sake of argument or otherwise).

It’s pretty easy to differentiate: the non-NFA items are designed so that the trigger resets between each shot (i.e. one shot per trigger pull) while the LL allows the weapon to continue to fire as long as the trigger is held down without need for it to reset (i.e. multiple shots per trigger pull).

OP, I noticed this posted on other boards, is there more to this?

No. Different consumer markets.
