Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about the ARC-Fire Trigger, legal compliance, and technical optimization for your high-speed builds.

General & Purchasing

Where is the best place to buy ARC-Fire Trigger systems?

The official ARC-Fire Shop is the only place to guarantee you are receiving authentic, patented Active Reset Clutch technology. Every ARC-Fire Trigger purchased through our site is hand-inspected at our Minden, NV facility and includes our full warranty support.

Is it legal to buy ARC-Fire Trigger products in my state?

Federal law generally permits the sale and possession of forced-reset and active-reset triggers. However, state and local laws vary. We ship to all legal jurisdictions. It is your responsibility to verify your local regulations before you buy ARC-Fire Trigger hardware or Super Safety Kits .

Do you ship discreetly?

Yes. We understand the value of privacy. All orders—whether for an ARC-Fire Trigger – Ambi Kit or a Binary Trigger —are shipped in plain, unmarked packaging that does not disclose the contents.

Technical & Installation

What is the difference between an ARC-Fire Trigger and a standard FRT?

While both systems offer rapid reset, the ARC-Fire Trigger uses a proprietary Active Reset Clutch. Instead of just pushing the trigger forward, the ARC system “clutches” the reset cycle to ensure a more consistent, tactile feel that is easier to control during rapid strings of fire.

What buffer weight should I use with a Para 15 or ARC-Fire Trigger?

For most 5.56 builds, we highly recommend using an H3 Carbine Buffer . The heavier mass of the H3 buffer slows the bolt carrier group slightly, which ensures the timing of the forced-reset lever is perfectly synchronized with the sear, preventing “bolt bounce” or malfunctions.

Will these triggers work with a .22LR conversion or PCC?

Most forced-reset systems, including the Para 15 Trigger , require a full-auto profile bolt carrier to function. For specialized platforms like the Taurus TX22 or Glock, we recommend shopping our Trinity Trigger collection, which is engineered specifically for those platforms.

Can I install an ARC-Fire Trigger myself?

While our triggers are “drop-in” designs, we strongly recommend installation by a qualified gunsmith. High-performance triggers require precise alignment of the safety selector and receiver pins to function safely and reliably.

Troubleshooting & Maintenance

My trigger is not resetting. What should I check?

If you experience reset issues, check the following:

BCG Profile: Ensure you are using a full-auto (m16) profile bolt carrier.
Buffer Weight: Ensure you are using at least an H2 or H3 buffer.
Lubrication: High-speed triggers like the WOT Trigger require high-quality synthetic grease on the cam surfaces.

How do I maintain my forced-reset system?

Regularly inspect your trigger for carbon buildup. We recommend a full cleaning every 500–1,000 rounds. For high-wear users, we offer the WOT Rebuild Parts Kit to refresh your springs and pins.

Why are some Geissele triggers listed as “Pre-Cut”?

Standard Geissele Triggers do not naturally work with 3-position Super Safety systems. Our team precision-machines these sears in our Minden shop so you can enjoy the legendary Geissele “break” with modern forced-reset functionality.

Support & Returns

What is your return policy on installed triggers?

To ensure the safety of our customers, we cannot accept returns on triggers that have been installed or fired. For more details, please view our Refund & Return Policy .
