I don't have an AR just laying around to install an FRT trigger.  I'd like to have some trigger time with the FRT just to see what its all about.  Should I build another AR just for this?  Or, am I just wasting my time, money and ammo.

I did pick up a Turkish 45 the other day.  Haven't tried it out yet.  SAR K2 - essentially a copy of a copy of a CZ.  The big deal about this gun is that the frame and slide are actually milled from forgings. And, the barrel is hammer-forged as well.  It feels like a 9mm with a 14 round capacity for 45. I have a Megastar that essentially does the same thing, but its almost the ridiculous size of a Desert Eagle 44.

Interesting widget. I would just go to a trigger up grade perhaps. That's me.
Toys like this can be unreliable and spit out a lot of money.

First 4 minutes or so says most of what you need... didn't watch past that.

You would have to ask BV. He is the expert on all things AR.

Wow.   That settles that for me.  Good video - thanks for that.  I won't be buying one (or even considering it) until they fix that design flaw. He showed it plain as day. Spring-cruncher.  Got the angle wrong.  Turns it into an expensive piece of junk in just a few magazines.

I like my binary trigger AR's.  I actually like the fast 2-shot feature.  IMHO, makes the gun a bit more lethal - sending 110 grains down range in a fast tight group.

LOL! No thanks. In fact, I think I got my question answered. I watched the above video and that was enough for me to say "no".

Seems to me a VERY BASIC **** up. Keeping spring compression in line shouldn't be an afterthought.
Cheap and easy to set up a drill without that pesky angle.
It was a manufacturing decision, no doubt about it.

Perhaps, or maybe a dumb oversight. Still, without that being fixed, it screws up the entire piece of kit. Worthless.  And, I was seriously considering one of those just for fun.
