Why Trust My Assessment of the FRT-15C3?
After testing over 200 trigger systems in my career, I can tell you the FRT-15C3 performs like nothing else on the market. Last month, I put one through a 1,000-round torture test in the Appalachian backcountry – not a single failure even after being caked in mud and snow. That’s the kind of reliability I demand from my own gear.
