What a TAR is — and what it is not
A TAR is a trigger assisted reset system: it resets the trigger for you so follow-up shots come faster. One trigger pull still fires one round, every time. It is not a forced reset trigger, it does not fire bursts, and it does not convert anything to automatic fire.
Every unit is CNC-machined in Texas. Installation is covered step by step on our installations page, and the mechanism itself is explained on how TARs work.
ARP questions
Is the install different from an AR-15?
No. Same drop-in fit, same standard pins, same function check before live fire.
Steel or carbon fiber nylon?
Steel for volume shooting and long service life; carbon fiber nylon for a lower-cost entry to the same mechanism.
Does this make the firearm automatic?
No. One trigger pull, one round. A TAR assists reset only.
