Thanks, but I don’t need it. The rapid fire trigger on my old derringer works just fine. :)

Perhaps, if I owned an AR-15

In many states the lack of a disconnector is really gambling.

For example; you are at the local public range and your rifle short cycles (for whatever reason) and suddenly you are full auto. Assuming you are capable of controlling that does the ATF guy 4 bays down think it is OK to have an accident like that?

I doubt it. Think cuffs and no guns ever again.

As the viking said 'grow stronger' if the disconnector is the weak link. Make it better, don't remove a critical piece of safety gear.

My Garand trigger works just fine with its 1/4” takeup. Same takeup on my 03A3. Nice.

There is a little ‘snick’ on the trigger just before let off on my 1882 vintage Winchester 73 in 44 WCF. Not awful though

The worst is on my 1884 Trapdoor. Now THAT’S a heavy trigger.

The point is moot though because when the canoe tipped in that 1000 ft deep creek they all went to the bottom...

...sad realy

If I were to buy an AR. It would be one of the ‘New....improved” models with a gas piston and not the direct impingement dirtifying kind.

No video I could see at the link.

Would hope they ran this system by the damn BATF for their take and avoid any buyers being in jeopardy of modifying their AR to be full auto by removing the disconnector.

I don't see how the designers claim that their trigger system doesn't have a disconnector. I can clearly see a disconnector in the animation. It is just a differently designed disconnector than in a milspec AR trigger group.

The disconnector in the animation is the small hook at the bottom of the sear that engages a hook on the trigger. When the trigger is pulled, the sear releases the hammer, then the hooks disengage allowing the sear to pop back up to catch the hammer. You cannot trip the sear again until you release the trigger, which resets the disconnector.

Fancy marketing, interesting design, but definitely not 'disconnector-free.'

Looking at it mechanically, one set of sear surfaces is doing double duty- both sear and disconnect functions. From the look of the scale, those surfaces are rather small in appearance. Small means wear.

The original AR trigger sucks for the most part, but in mil spec versions it is serviceable at heavy weight/lots of engagement and the disconnector is a separate entity doing its own work.

Modern two stage designs use a more- Garandesque design, like Xtreme, Rock River, Gieselle etc- front and rear hammer hooks and independent sear and disconnector surfaces doing disconnect and sear independently and are eminently durable.

In my estimation, this trigger will not be very successful- things break, little things break more often.

Anyway, innovation and modern manufacturing is the basis of a capitial economy.
