AS Designs ARC-Fire™ Ambidextrous Selector Trigger System (ARC Technology)

Reset Redefined. Patent-pending Active Reset Clutch (ARC) technology for faster trigger reset, improved control, and multi-platform compatibility.

The AS Designs ARC-Fire™ is a next-generation ambidextrous selector trigger system featuring patent-pending Active Reset Clutch (ARC) technology. Designed to enhance trigger reset speed while maintaining control and compliance, the ARC-Fire forces a positive, immediate reset after each shot—enabling rapid, precise follow-up shots with one round per trigger action, every time.

Key Highlights

  • Patent-pending ARC Technology: Forces immediate trigger reset after each shot for faster follow-up shots.

  • Multi-Platform Compatibility: Supports numerous popular platforms with additional kits where required.

How ARC-Fire Works

Customer video review of The Triggered Company Disruptor FRT — $279.99

I ordered this thinking I would beat the next stupid ban. So the trigger arrived very fast, just a few days, and I didn't pay for the extra shipping charge for getting it faster. Wasn't needed in my case. This was so easy to install a blind person could do it. Then I took it to the range and I expected it not to work like it was described. OMG did my face light up! Burned up two magazines in less than 10 seconds I think. And is still safe, and it retains the semi auto, or one shot per pull capability. I'm buying more for my other AR's now.

Customer video review of AK-47 FRT Super Safety – 100% USA Made

It wasn't exactly what I was expecting but I gave it a try. The installation video sucks because I couldn't see what he was doing but I ended up getting it. You have to learn how to run it as there's a little bit of a trick to it but once you do that it's fun to use.

Customer video review of Odin Works HFRT — All-In-One Buffer & Buffer Tube System for FRTs and Super Safeties

First time using the Disruptor drop-in trigger I couldn't get it to work, even after swapping in an H2 buffer. This H3 heavy-duty spring combo finally did the trick. Rifle is an older S&W Sport II. Suppressor is SilencerCo Velos 556. Very happy with the result and looking forward to adding Disruptor FRT and this buffer/spring to at least two more rifles.

Safe, Semi, FRT. Until you experience it, you just don’t know what it’s like. But once you do know, you’ll want more. An addiction that is backed by the Constitution. 2A for LIFE.

Customer video review of AS Designs ARC Fire Trigger | AR-15 Forced Reset Trigger | Ambi Safety

Super easy to install, runs smooth and without failure in a completely stock $500 American tactical AR, there are plenty of videos showing how to install it. Would and am buying this trigger kit again, and pairing it with a lighter spring kit, there isn’t any weird quirks with it, I simply installed it with some oil and my factory pins and springs and it worked without polishing or any other modifications. Super happy with it!

Customer video review of Partisan Forced-Reset Drop-In Cassette Trigger (Black) FRT – AR-15 Platform (USA-Made)

Functioned fantastically. I absolutely recommend a heavier buffer. I have a Ruger AR lower and it fit perfectly. Really really enjoys the metal mags. Had loading issues, disappeared when I swapped to metal mags. Selector switch works slightly better than original. I used a extra spring I had laying around and got an H3 buffer. Make sure you have the full auto BCG or this product will not function.

Customer video review of AR-15 H2.5 Carbine Buffer (5.1 Ounces)

I ended up needing something slightly lighter to run the G Lever FRS, but the H2.5 is probably a good option for a suppressed build with more back pressure

Had to do a minor tweak to tappet wire but other than that it was a drop in kit. Seems to be made of quality steel. We all are now having great fun with it.

Customer photo review of FDC ARC Fire V2- AS Designs FRT

My first ARC-Fire ran like a champ! I never had a hiccup or problem, and everyone on the range stared like I was a criminal...🤣 It was the V1, and man I was happy. Then all of a sudden... I watched a video that showcased the ARC-Fire V2, with a 0-45°-90° ambi selector, and I had to have one. After all, it was going in my HK MR556 A4, and it has the markings on the lower for a 0°-45° selector, and I, of course, wanted it to match. So I bought one... While visiting AS Designs website, I noticed they sold HK style selector levers for their ARC-Fire V2. So I bought some... You CANNOT go wrong with this company! Their products are, in my and many others opinion, the best FRT on the market today! Just go to YouTube and pull up a 'Juicy Media' video, and he demonstrates a bunch of different brands of FRT and explains the pros/cons of the others, and explains why he prefers AS Designs! 5 MF'ing ☆'s~!!!
