Rare breed has been raided by the Feds and anyone that owns one of these better have paid cash in a face to face transaction.
I can’t imagine a situation in which I’d care to have a semiautomatic open-bolt weaponThey need to make these trigger for the 249 and 240

He was referancing the post saying they should make these triggers for a M249 or an M240. Since the trigger fires in semi it would be operating the open bolt operation of these two in semi.....not an "open bolt" operation, it's mimicking the exact same operation a standard full-auto M16/M4 does with the full-auto trigger group, sear, hammer, safety selector and full-auto BCG. If I'm not mistaken, at one time ATF classified those 5 components alone as a "machine gun". After that, semi-auto receivers no longer had the "hole" drilled above the selector lever and the pocket in the lower receivers were milled with an extra "protrusion" in the area where the auto-sear would sit, preventing it's installation. The debut of "Drop-in Auto Sears" was countered by BCG's having the bottom rear portion trimmed back or removed completely and lower receivers having "raised" shelves to prevent the DIAS from being fitted (some folks might remember the "high shelf", "low shelf" days).
...IMHO, the FRT design overcame all the obstacles ATF had previously implemented and still came out with a product that met all the technical and legal requirements of the law as currently written. But..... I also don't think it ATF is going to give up anytime soon to ban it, if they can.
Nice.not quite....it is a "forced reset" trigger....
the cycling of the bolt forces the trigger forward to full reset....so if you maintain constant pressure, it allows you to continue to pull the trigger without having to do the reset manually.
essentially it is literally a full-auto trigger in function...that is legal because it fully complies with the written law by incorporating separate trigger actuations for each shot.
FN sells a semi version to civis. Which I agree with you, a semi belt fed is completely useless. Hence why something like this Forced Reset trigger would be awesome and make me consider actually getting one.I can’t imagine a situation in which I’d care to have a semiautomatic open-bolt weapon
