What are your thoughts on this new trigger? It essentially uses a sear to release the hammer, even though it requires a single press for each function of the weapon.
A key part of the bumpstock ban was them arguing that each trigger pull was involuntary, vs. intentionally pulling it each time. Seems like this trigger is going to fall victim to the same logic.
I wouldn’t jump on that train.
Crystal ball says it’s illegal in 6 months.
I went to their website and looked… $380.00 for that garbage.
A fool and their money are soon parted my friend… 
IDK, everything I’ve seen on this trigger says you have to pull the trigger each time. All it’s really doing is shortening the pull/release/pull distance. Finger moves less distance so it can move faster. But seems to require a deliberate pull. They’ll probably try and ban it anyway though.
The standard semi auto AR trigger uses a sear to release the hammer. That’s normal.
One difference is the forced reset trigger uses the action of the hammer cocking to force the trigger to reset. This forces the trigger bow forward against the trigger finger.
Another difference is the forced reset trigger has a bar that keeps the trigger in forward (reset) position until the carrier and bolt have fully returned to battery. When the BCG is fully in battery, the bar is pushed out of the way by the carrier. Now, the trigger can be pressed and the AR fired again.

In the above article, there’s a video that shows how this trigger works
It’s an interesting mechanism to say the least.
No, legalities aside (of which I care nothing, anymore), do not want extra crap like that in my guns. I see no logical purpose for it.

Besides the fun of simulating full auto fire, I could see this being used in something like 3gun to get some smoking fast splits on doubles. Of course it would take a bit of mastering to keep it to doubles and to use it effectively on something like the long range singles…all in the same gun. But for $380, I’ll just have to slog along with my regular Velocity 3 lb.
The trigger design is pure genius in execution and simplicity. While it’s an expensive way to turn money into noise, it looks like a more elegant solution to binary style triggers and is far less money than buying a machinegun. I’d buy one if I had the money. Why? Because it looks fun. Yes, sometimes I shoot just for fun.

In the current political climate the legality of this type of trigger will certainly be challenged.
I had a pistol once that kicked the trigger forward when the hammer was cocked by recoil. It was extremely uncomfortable to shoot, even though the manufacturer wrapped a rubber cushion around the trigger. I suspect that’s exactly what a “forced reset” will feel like.

Shooting for fun will get you kilt in the streets!
Just Sayin. 
I think I can chew gum and walk at the same time.
Might be in some cases, but it doesn’t appear to be.
Here is a schematic comparison video of a standard milspec trigger and the FRT.

I’ve used one, and all I will say is that I disagree with the following posts.
That’s good to know. I don’t mind being wrong. Do you feel the forced reset at your trigger finger?

Please give us your review of this trigger.
Given that it’s ATF, there is NO way this isn’t reclassified as a MG. Reference the Akins Accelerator, bump stocks, Ernie Wrenn’s beltfed MAC uppers, among others. It’s a neat design for sure.
