What Buyers Ask
Where can I buy Texas Trigger FRT online?
You’re looking at the right place — Americans Gun has been stocking these since early 2024 with consistent inventory.
Does this require any gunsmithing to install?
Not in our experience. We’ve installed these on multiple test guns without needing any fitting or modification.
How does the pull weight compare to stock?
Most users report about 1-1.5 lb reduction from factory triggers, with cleaner break characteristics.
Is the finish durable?
The black oxide holds up well to normal use but will show wear faster than premium coatings like Cerakote.
Does this work with aftermarket stocks?
Yes, as long as the stock accommodates standard SKS trigger groups.
What’s included in the package?
Complete trigger assembly with all necessary pins and springs ready for installation.
How’s the reset compared to stock?
Much more positive reset — you’ll feel and hear it clearly during rapid fire.
