Shot mine for the first time today and absolutely love it. Going to take it apart and doing this mod so I don’t even have to deal with any malfunctions.

I never comment on videos but that was an awesome tutorial never have worked on a trigger in my life and I feel confident taking this on your walk through was absolutely great. Had to stop and share some love for the detail you went into.

Great fix! Super easy and sufficient. I’ve been trying to figure out if drilling from the top down at a 45*, square to the trigger stop when depressed, tap the back Forman set screw to hold the spring . In a perfect design a plunger and spring system like an ar bolt release would be the more reliable and lasting than just a spring, because the trigger stop rotates. Even better would be to spring load it with a coil like an actual seer.

Thanks Mike. I will be making these mods to mine. Great tutorial!

My business machine background comes in handy on gun springs. There are many tools for working on springs. They are called capture spring hooks, push spring hooks and regular spring hooks. The others of course are very small needle nose pliers and hemostats of varying sizes. You can make regular sp hooks with a good wire, even a coat hanger. All you do is taper the wire in a grinder or sander with a long taper depending on the strength you want for the size spring you need to work with. We usually had about 6-8 different sizes as back then the machines were completely mechanical and springs were the power behind the mechanisms. Just make the taper, heat the end red and drop it on a hard surface and it will form the hook. A capture is a spring loaded hook with a spring loaded sliding sleeve you pull back with your finger to release it's grip that holds the spring in the hook, these are manufactured hooks, a push-pull hook is made by heating the hook twice and forming a "squiggle" or "horizontal s" on the end that allows the spring to be pushed, these are not as commonly used but are indispensable as only a hemostat might be used in it's place but the push-pull is smaller and will go in small places. These are very much needed tools for working on mechanical mechanisms. thanks for the tutorial on the mod for much better reliability as only United States americans can do really well from a free society.

Dude! AWESOME VIDEO!!!

Thanks for the demo. Looking forward to the return spring update.

bravo sir. simple in its elegance and elegant in its simplicity.

You must have a nice wife doing it on her glass coffee table! Thanks for the instruction!

As soon as I get mine, because they aren't in stock I will doing this mod. Thanks for the tutorial.

You are the man mike! Thank you sir

Thanks Mike! I was going to do a similar video. I like your mod better! Looking forward to your next mod video!

Youre awesome mike! thanks for the video.

Shooters Lube! Good stuff. Thank you for the video

Thanks for the info Mike! I did the mod right outta the box. Springs have memory so didn't even want to use it until I did it.

I just ordered one and am planning to do this mod before even running it. Wanna keep that spring in good shape!

Thank you for the content.

Keep up the good work... I would love for them to make a V2, but who knows _if_ and _when_ that will happen. It might end up falling on mods like this to make this trigger all that it promised to be

Thanks for the video!

Great vid man👊👊👊

Nice!!! I found a video yesterday that had them drilling into the other receiving end of the spring (big block area) and he removed a LOT more than you did... i think i'm going to go this route!!!! Please let us know if you update any further testing!!! and feel free to post the link to any springs you discover that work for a more easily controllable single shot (i haven't even received my trigger yet, but found all this information an hour after purchase :D ) i pasted this link to a couple of other youtube videos i've found... hope it brings you LIKES! :D

Thanks for the mod and video, to bad rarebreed isn't owning up to all the products they sold, understand that would be a nightmare for em, but to just flake out and push the buck shame on em. Shouldn't have to do this to a $400 trigger. Don't care how nice the rest of the product is. But again thanks to you for your time.

funny rare breed replacement locking bar now comes cut my bcg tore up the back of my locking bar after couple hundred rounds and spring was just getting bent went to site to order new locking bar (filed down the bcg so no more sharp edge) and now they come cut like this and they say it wasnt a problem sort of seems like they knew but great video thank you for the step by step

For $380, and years of R&D, you would think they could have worked out this problem and used a high quality spring. Especially, since the disassembly procedure for the FRT includes moving that lever to remove the trigger.

in addition, dremeled an AR bolt catch detent plunger and polished the tip. I also used the upgraded spring and added a dab of grease to the pocket if the locking bar and finally it wastes all the ammo I can't afford!

Thanks for the great video.I think this mod will help considerably with the "kinking spring" problem. A secondary mod would be to limit the excessive throw of the trigger stop lever. This can easily be accomplished by removing a slight amount of material from the BCG where it contacts the trigger stop lever or in the alternative, to remove a small amount of material from the trigger stop lever where the BCG contacts it. The goal of the secondary mod would be to limit the forward movement or throw of the trigger stop lever to where it "just" unlocks the trigger without exerting more than needed stress on the spring .One should be cognate of the issue that not all full auto BCG have the same dimensions. I opine that the two mods MIGHT increase the reliability of this trigger to acceptable levels. However, I could be wrong.

First I would like to thank you for what you did there. Second, I would like to ask where can I buy a new spring if my spring is out of shape? what size would it be? and the length also... Thank you so much

Where can I order a heavier trigger spring? So I can modify my trigger. Thanks

Nice work dude

Because of you showing me this I'm gonna get a trigger on the way thank you so much!! What bolt carriers have you tried and what do you prefer with this trigger assembly?

Did you notice that this actually fixed the problem? I ordered mine a week ago and just now saw this vid. No refunds 🙃

This is great info man! I appreciate it as I'm waiting on stock now. How many rounds have you run since the original mod? Just curious.

Thank you sir!

Mike, can you share the part number for the upgraded spring you used? Or some links?

Thanks for the vid, i tried emailing them to get mine fixed, had problems right out of the box but i havent gotten a reponse in 3 weeks. Also do you have a shop I'd pay u to fix mine

Hi Mike, did you hear from anybody if 45 degrees safety selector like Radian Talon brand works with FRT Trigger? Thank you!

Also is there a stronger spring you can use or is it better just to order a bunch of those other ones?

Great video.👍🏽 After that drill mod. Add an upgraded spring as well...What do you think?

can you please comment if the Rare Breed FRT reliability has been fixed with the spring channel that crimps? What brand FRT is the most reliable? I have a DMR BCM RECCEE 18KMR with AEM5 suppressor. I want reliability so please comment back with your knowledge because right now I am afraid to touch a FRT if reliability is compromised.

what we need now is a mod to increase the trigger tension to make single shots easier that is selectable.

Keep it up! You might consider starting a patreon or something to accept donations

Nice

Flatwire spring if it exists might even be stronger and less susceptible to kinking.

Hey bud thanks for the video. Had a quick question, did the trigger function ok with the slightly bent spring or did you have to replace it?

Has anyone done a range test of this modification? If so, how many rounds were fired and did the same condition ever reoccur?

Do you know the size of the ball bit you used and was it carbide? Thanks, great video!

So make it look like a feed ramp on a glock barrel?

Where did you get the heavier spring? Did it work?

Wonder if the company will make corrections and offer a Gen2 trigger.

How is it you know better than the engineers? You have a design team and R&D department?

Have you tried to make a trigger over travel stop?

If I need to replace the spring, do you know the specs on that? Where to find? Great video. Subbed.

Dose replacing that big spring u 1st took out with a stronger spring important? Saw someone do that for light primer strikes they were having

Hey man love the video is there a way to send this to you and pay you?

Why not drill through the 45° and install a set screw? This would fix the angle on the spring.

My spring looks like that 0rnds.

when you grind for a desired new angle of the sear trip are you changing the factory preset timing (time) of the hammer release causing pre. or delayed strikes. just asking.

How much do you charge to do this fix? Mine is working fine right now. But would like to fix b4 I have a problem.

Mike is there a way for my to send you a couple frt 15s? I could probably do it myself but rather have someone who knows the ins and outs of the two mods.

You said costumer. Can I ship my trigger to you and have you fix it for me?

Looks good Mike. What oil are you using? Thanks.

Think you could have done the important part any further off the screen? I could almost tell what you’re doing there.

Which bit are you using for the Dremel? Thanks!

What’s the hook tool you’re using? Also do we know what the spring size is for the inevitable replacements?

Would you be willing to take another customer?

You said you were doing this mod for a customer, are you able to do this mod for others too? If so how does someone reach you? I have one coming in the mail and I wasn't aware of this issue until after I ordered it. I dont have the dremel tools and if it does happen with my trigger as well then would like to have option of getting it fixed by someone that knows what there doing. Watching video seems pretty straight forward but I've never used a dremel and would be pissed if I screwed it up. Thanks for video!

Nice work! I think I know the answer already but has Rare Breed contacted you anymore about this issue? I'm guessing they're staying far from any home made modifications.

This guy approaches the problem from the other end, although he acknowledges Mike Seman and his work and incorporates Mike's fix IN ADDITION to his own. I particularly like what he did with the underside of his bolt carrier. Long rambling video. But contains great information. When I finally get my FRT-15 (in 2025 at this rate!) I will incorporate things from BOTH armorers. UncleRico is tinkering with springs too. I am most interested in that mod too. I am staying in touch with both armorers! So, give this guy a watch. UncleRico 69 subscribers Rare Breed FRT-15 update with BCG mod kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ftiPgLicutbDomw.html

How may one send you this trigger for all the mods to include the newer spring? Or do you have said trigger with the mods already done that you happen to have for sale? I'm asking for my cat.

Can't that pin get knocked out so you can put that spring retainer in a vice and be able to control the angle better?

Can I send you mine lol

Do you have a link for the bits used to dremel out the hole?

For as much as they cost ya shouldn't have to do this. But good video

Mike have you found a part number for the spring that gets kinked?

Do you have a caliper to measure the size of the bevel?

I was told if you use the correct BCG and heavier buffer it works fine. Is that true?

Why would you tattoo your fingers??

Why the hell does anyone have to fix a $380 trigger? That shit should be working right out of the box!

Anyone having issues where only 1rd goes off, chambers another rounds but nothing happens, Dead Trigger. (FullAuto bolt carrier, H3 buffer.)

The assumption that “fixing the spring/guide” is valid cannot be logically ascertained until after the system is “correctly” installed. A proper installation makes it generally impossible to damage the spring. Rare Breed has stated this fact multiple times, but without an emphasis on installation procedure. They effectively say that if the system is “correctly” installed then the “problem” does not exist.

Replace the batteries in your smoke detector! 0:56 , 1:40 , 2:20 , 3:03 , 3:45 , 6:34 , etc

Do i need to do this if i have the tt upgrade?

Didn’t they fix this with March update ?

Does this use a regular ar15 spring? I want to use an extra power one.

Where can I get a new spring? Anyone.

Everyone wants to ask the next real question.

Good job, but you might want to deburr your work…just saying!👍🇺🇸

But did it work

Did it work?

But you're changing the way it was designed tho and there might be a reason it's made that way to FAIL... Not sure that would be smart if they ever came knocking for it

What are you done to hands? Are you sick?
