Never fired a full auto and never really get trigger happy popping them off fast as can or bump fire cause I like more on target but my son had couple friends come over other day to shoot some and they brought what I call plastic phantastic guns or AR style rifles with all the gadgets . They both had those super safety triggers on them and I must admit was pleasantly surprised . There is a learning curve on how to proper hold but descent accuracy was possible even by me ! And quite the rush of dumping a full magazine in nothing flat !! It will and did put a smile on my face !! I first said hey arn't those triggers against the law but was educated with proof is a difference to what they had and a "forced reset trigger" which is . Always wanted to shoot a full auto and this is close will get probably without having to drive 2 1/2 hours . I do have a AR type but looks like a M16 style without all the other stuff many put on theirs . I asked them if they reloaded as fast their rifles ate up magazines but didn't , they said generally they just single or double tap targets but save least 1 or 2 magazines to play with when about done !!

I never fired a full automatic until I was in the service, that was over 55 years ago. When I got out of the army I bought myself an AR 15 and a M1a1, I would see how fast I could ride the trigger and get it to fire.
The biggest difference I noticed was, now I had to pay for the ammo instead of Uncle Sam. Would definitely be pricey to operate a full auto on your own today, a lot of fun, but expensive. lol

I have never shot anything fully automatic either. I was pressured into buying one of those AR-15 S&W M&P 5.56 and hated it. I fired one mag, turned around and handed to my son. I said here, take this piece of junk home with you. Not my bag. I like levers and bolts. Give me a nice piece of steel with nice furniture, not plastic junk. Biggest waste of 700 dollars.

I understand completely but it turned me a little . For me a old gun with a nice wood stock especially something with certain era in history with it is my first love . But several years back made a deal with my son if he did a bunch of fence work we needed done would get him a AR15 he had been wanting . After I got it for him and we went to shoot I did see why some are crazy about them . Was a nice shooting round and all . Still took a few years before broke down and sucked up my pride and got one I got now . For looks the wouldn't win a contest but if had to go into a fight be first grab probably .

I believe SCOTUS told the ATF to go pound sand about the Biden Admin's ATF making a rule that FRTs are machine guns.

Believe they go for $400 to $800 . If that what the super safety that price I wouldn't waste my money . I still like to know why it's called super safety!!! I know the safety switch is used but still feel a better name could came up with or were the thinking calling it a SUPER SAFETY TRIGGER make it less evil or deadly !!!!

$100 for the AR kit is pretty standard for those selling them online. It includes the trigger, steel cam, steel lever, and detent for an AR.
There was a 20 something kid selling these at a local gun show for $150. I'd rather buy it from him with cash, if you know what I mean. I still don't have one.

Most of us have multiple AR15's. I think have 6 that are built and 3 more I need to build. If I only had 1 AR15, I doubt I would add a Super Safety, binary, or FRT trigger. The Super Safety replaces the standard lever safety with a push button safety / selector. A lot of folks don't want to loose their lever stye safety on an AR15.

To set up an MP5 clone with the same system, you're looking at about $600 for the Lee Sporting style lower, SS, trip, and buffer. HK & clones have horrible triggers. The Lee Sporting Lower allows you to put AR15 triggers into the MP5 clone which even without the SS is huge improvement. However, I prefer the looks of the old school lower and blow through enough 9mm to not really want a Super Safety in my MKE clone.

High gross, I remember a buddy of mine way back when we were building 10/22,s and he had installed a LW VQ trigger in his, then showed me he put a healthy rubber band on trigger and front of trigger guard and twisted it tight.
Put his finger on trigger and ripped off a 25rnd magazine. Sort of freaked me out the first time since I didn't even know what he was attempting.
Didn't cost a nickel
