Specs of The AR-TT
✓ 100% CNC Machined — Zero Printed Parts
✓ 316 Stainless Ambi Selector
✓ Made in Dallas, TX
✓ First of Its Kind
✓ In Stock — Ships Fast
This is the FRT the Kabuto platform has been waiting for: the first true all-metal Kabuto — a 100% CNC machined all-metal body and housing, cut in Dallas, Texas by the same shop behind our best-selling Kabuto Metal Ambi. The 316 stainless steel 3-position ambidextrous selector is polished and bead-blasted for a glass-smooth throw. No printed housing. No polymer anywhere in the fire control path. This is the Kabuto design executed at the quality level it always deserved, and nobody has done it this well.
Why All-Metal Changes Everything
Anyone who has run printed-kit Kabutos knows the two failure points by heart: the printed selector that snaps like a toothpick, and the printed housing that shears off at the shelf. Every part of this unit is cut from solid metal on a CNC machine — not metal-printed, not polymer, machined. That means:
- The selector can take real torque — and glides doing it. 316 stainless steel, polished and bead-blasted for smoothness, full 3-position control from both sides of the receiver — Safe, Semi, and Forced Reset (assisted reset) mode — with detents that stay crisp instead of wallowing out.
- Bearing steel main pin. The highest-stress pivot in the system, running on the material bearings are made from.
- The housing shrugs off the bolt carrier. No shelf shear, no layer-line fractures, no heat softening under sustained fire.
- Tolerances that only machining delivers. CNC-cut engagement surfaces mean a consistent reset, cycle after cycle, for the life of the rifle.

The Kabuto Family: Where the Full Metal Fits

| Best For | Entry into FRT shooting | The no-compromise Kabuto | — |
Already running our Kabuto with the metal ambi selector ($114.99)? Same Dallas manufacturer, same design DNA — that one remains the best value entry point in the category. The Full Metal is the same shop's flagship: the design with every last part machined from solid stock and the selector finished to a polish.
Required Hardware
- M16-profile (full-auto cut) BCG required — we run the MPI Nickel Boron M16-Cut BCG — $159.99
- Heavy buffer strongly recommended (H2 minimum, H3 preferred) to kill bolt bounce — shop buffers from $29.99
- Full-power ammo — underpowered loads won't cycle far enough to engage the reset
- Dry-cycle before live fire and function-check on Safe, Semi, and Enhanced Semi
State Restrictions Apply: Forced reset triggers cannot be shipped to certain states. Review our FRT legality guide before ordering — it is your responsibility to know and comply with your local laws.
First of Its Kind, Priced to Move
Regular retail on the Full Metal Kabuto is $199.99 — and for a fully machined FRT with a stainless ambi selector, that already undercuts everything comparable. For launch, we're releasing them at $149.99 for a very limited time. When launch stock is gone, the price goes to retail. Machined in Dallas, sold by the shop that knows the Kabuto platform better than anyone.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.4 / 5 from 1861 reviews.
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.
Second one i bought now and still flawless operation. Would recommend this product to anyone who likes to go through ammo.

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.
Easy install, no problems.
Partisan Disruptor FRT (Black) + M16 BCG + H3 Buffer Bundle — AR-15 (USA Made)
This thing is more fun than a bucket of puppies
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.

Store owner replied: Glad you loved it! Suppressed can be a fickle one too at times
Super easily installation. Works flawlessly, not one hiccup out of the few hundred rounds I’ve gone through so far.
Awesome and easy to install! I have a PSA 300blk and didn’t even need to change buffer weight to make it run great.

The FRT dropped right in and ran wonderfully! It cycled 22 rounds in roughly 2 seconds. My son's first experience firing anything like this and he absolutely loved it. I highly recommend this product for your TX22.
Easy to install, absolutely fun! Everyone that shoots it instantly start looking to buy one.
Best trigger on the market by far.

Trigger Supply: Hoffman Tactical Super Safety – S7 Tool Steel – Flat Trigger | AR-15 USA Made
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.
Works perfect
Worked amazingly. Was everything I hoped it would be. Would definitely recommend these guys to anyone looking to purchase firearms accessories. Had a couple small order issues in the past and they were handled very quickly and expertly. As a result I try to give them as much of my business as possible.
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!

Partisan Disruptor FRT Trigger for AR-15 – Drop-In System (USA Made)
All the literature online made it extremely easy to install. In my opinion this is the best one.
Partisan Disruptor FRT Trigger for AR-15 – Drop-In System (USA Made)
Store owner replied: Hey GLAD YOU LOVE IT!
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.
Partisan Forced-Reset Drop-In Cassette Trigger (Black) FRT – AR-15 Platform (USA-Made)
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.
Trigger worked perfect. Only thing I had to do was get a h3 buffer (heavy) tube and it was flawless. Dumped 2 mags in a matter of seconds.
Works flawless when you have a h3 buffer and im going to buy 5 more 😆 🤣

Odin Works HFRT — All-In-One Buffer & Buffer Tube System for FRTs and Super Safeties
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~!!!
Works great with a h3 buffer, didn’t jam once
Simple to install, and fun to shoot
