Triggered Company Disruptor AR-15 Forced Reset

Description

What is the Triggered Company Disruptor?

The Disruptor is a drop-in, 3-position forced reset trigger for the AR-15 platform. Descended from the original Tac-Con 3MR design (US Patent 9146067), it is an assisted-reset trigger: after each shot the trigger is mechanically driven forward against your finger, shortening the reset stroke so follow-up shots are faster and more consistent. Unlike a Super Safety, it is a true replacement fire control group — not a modification to your existing trigger.

Firearm Systems is the master distributor for The Triggered Company. Orders ship from our Phoenix, Arizona warehouse.

Selector: ambidextrous

The Ambi Disruptor is the standard Disruptor we sell. Its ambidextrous selector has a lever on each side of the receiver, and it keeps the same drop-in cassette, fire control geometry, materials and three firing positions.

• Ambidextrous — adds a second selector lever on the right side, so the safety can be operated from either side. Left-handed shooters can move the selector with their trigger-hand thumb instead of reaching under or over the receiver, and right-handed shooters gain a support-side lever. The ambidextrous version is the configuration currently offered.

Choose your package

Forced reset triggers are timing-sensitive. A light carbine buffer or a standard semi-automatic carrier can cause bolt bounce and inconsistent resets, so we offer the trigger on its own or matched with the components that make it run reliably.

Package	What’s included	Best for
Trigger Only	Disruptor cassette	Builds that already run an H2/H3 buffer and an M16-profile carrier
Trigger + Hybrid H2/H3	Disruptor cassette, H2/H3 Hybrid buffer (5.24 oz) with matched 17lb Neptune VPRS-15 buffer spring (not pictured)	Fixing bolt bounce and dead triggers on a standard carbine
Trigger + M16 BCG	Disruptor cassette, black nitride M16-profile bolt carrier group	Builds running a semi-automatic carrier that need M16-profile sear-trip geometry
Trigger + M16 BCG & Hybrid H2/H3	Disruptor cassette, black nitride M16 bolt carrier group, H2/H3 Hybrid buffer (5.24 oz) with matched 17lb Neptune VPRS-15 buffer spring (not pictured)	A complete, no-guesswork forced reset build

About the H2/H3 Hybrid buffer

Most standard carbines ship with a buffer of roughly 3 oz. With a forced reset trigger that light weight leads to erratic cycling. The H2/H3 Hybrid buffer weighs 5.24 oz and uses a heavier three-weight design to increase dwell time, keep the carrier fully seated before the next reset, and smooth out the recoil impulse during rapid fire. Every H2/H3 Hybrid buffer bundled into a Disruptor package now includes a matched 17lb Neptune VPRS-15 buffer spring (not pictured), so the buffer and spring arrive tuned together. Also sold separately if you already have a Disruptor and just need to add one.

About the M16-profile bolt carrier group

An M16-profile BCG is required for the Disruptor to time correctly, not just recommended. The M16-profile BCG provides the sear-trip geometry and added reciprocating mass that forced reset systems rely on. The black nitride finish is harder than chrome, reducing friction and making cleanup easy. Also sold separately if you already have a Disruptor and just need to add one.

Three positions

• Safe — standard safe position.
• Semi-Automatic — conventional semi-automatic fire.
• Enhanced Semi-Automatic — the forced reset mode, in which the trigger is mechanically returned forward after each shot.

Package contains

• Triggered Company drop-in cassette forced reset trigger
• Replacement safety selector (ambidextrous)
• Anti-walk trigger pins
• Plus the H2/H3 Hybrid buffer (5.24 oz, with a matched 17lb Neptune VPRS-15 buffer spring, not pictured) and/or M16 bolt carrier group, depending on the package selected

Before first use (packages with the Hybrid H2/H3 buffer): the buffer has a set screw in the side of the body. Apply one drop of blue (medium-strength) Loctite to the set screw threads and snug it down before installing and firing. Use blue only, not red.

Frequently asked questions

Which selector does the Disruptor come with?

The ambidextrous (Ambi) selector. It’s the standard Disruptor we sell. It adds a second selector lever so the safety can be operated from either side of the receiver. The trigger cassette, materials, pull weight, reset behavior, and installation are the same in every package.

Do I need a gunsmith to install it?

No. The Disruptor is a self-contained drop-in cassette for mil-spec AR-15 lowers. No fitting, filing, or permanent modification is required. See our install and troubleshooting guide.

Is this the same thing as a Super Safety?

No. A Super Safety replaces the selector in order to alter an existing trigger. The Disruptor is a complete drop-in replacement fire control group with its own three-position selector.

What buffer do I need?

A minimum H2 buffer is required, and an H2/H3 Hybrid (5.24 oz) is recommended, for carbine extensions and 16-inch or shorter barrels. A standard rifle buffer is appropriate for 20-inch A2 stocks. Too little reciprocating mass is the most common cause of a dead trigger on a forced reset build.

Do I need an M16-profile bolt carrier group?

Yes. An M16-profile carrier is required, not just recommended. It provides the sear-trip geometry and mass that forced reset triggers rely on for consistent timing.

Will it work on a 9mm AR build?

Compatibility varies by build. See our Disruptor FAQ for notes on buffers, carriers, and 9mm platforms.

Is a forced reset trigger legal in my state?

Federal and state treatment of forced reset triggers differs, and state law changes. Read our federal vs. state legal guide before ordering and confirm the rules where you live.
