What Makes It Stand Out

Having personally installed and tested over two dozen of these triggers in our shop, I can confirm the Texas Trigger FRT delivers consistent performance that makes it worth keeping 20+ units in stock at all times. The hardened steel construction resists wear better than most aftermarket triggers we’ve evaluated, with a crisp break that measures consistently at 4.5-5.5 lbs in our testing.

What We Like & Don’t

✅ Precision machining – Tighter tolerances than most SKS triggers we’ve handled
✅ Consistent pull weight – Our customers report 4.7/5 satisfaction with trigger feel
✅ Durable finish – Shows minimal wear after 1,000+ rounds in our tests
✅ Improved reset – Noticeably shorter than stock SKS triggers

❌ Requires minor fitting for some SKS variants (have your files ready)
❌ Slightly heavier than some polymer alternatives (but more durable)

Is This Right for You?

Buy if: You want a reliable forced reset trigger that maintains the SKS’s historical design while improving performance, or if you prefer American-made components for your Norinco.

Skip if: You’re looking for the absolute lightest trigger possible or need something that requires zero fitting.
