I Put An FRT In My SHTF Rifle

Video Description

RMA Plates: https://tribelink.co/NextGen This is not my bump-in-the-night rifle. This is the rifle I grab when I have to step outside — when things aren’t just loud, they’re chaotic. When it’s not defending a doorway, it’s defending a block. In this video, I take my Daniel Defense Mark 18 — my urban workhorse — and install a Rare Breed Force Reset Trigger to see if it belongs in a serious rifle, not a range toy. After running close to a thousand rounds suppressed, different mags, different ammo, and pushing it hard, this setup proved something: speed doesn’t have to mean reckless. It’s still one round per trigger pull, but the FRT allows for controlled, measured bursts when it matters. Paired with a flow-through suppressor and tuned for reliability, this rifle stayed flat, stayed controllable, and didn’t malfunction once. This isn’t about mag dumping or flexing. It’s about capability, reliability, and evolution in a platform built for chaos. If you’re serious about building a rifle that lives outside the house — not just inside it — this might change how you think about the FRT. 🎧 Hearing Protection Used in This Video: AKT1 Blackout Wireless In-Ear Protection NRR 25dB | Bluetooth | 10hr battery + 30hr case Available HERE: ➡️ https://bit.ly/3wnUOPf Drop your preference in the comments: Striker fired?
