I Was Wrong About the AS Designs Arc Fire… It Actually Sucks

In my initial review of the AS Designs (ASD) Arc Fire FRT, I ran it straight out of the box with no tuning—and at the time, I thought it showed promise. After more time behind the gun and additional testing, my opinion has completely changed. The ASD Arc Fire FRT is unreliable without proper tuning, and that’s a major problem. In this follow-up review, I break down exactly what happened during my original testing, why the system started to fail in my rifle, and what I believe caused the malfunctions. I also go over potential fixes, including tuning considerations, and whether or not it’s even worth the effort. If you’re considering running an FRT or already have one installed, this is something you need to see. Bottom line: I gave it another chance… and it didn’t get better. ⸻ 🔧 WHAT’S COVERED: • Initial out-of-the-box testing (no tuning) • Reliability issues with the Arc Fire FRT • What changed from my first impressions • What I believe caused the malfunctions • Possible remedies and tuning considerations • Final verdict ⸻ 0:00 I Was Wrong… Here’s Why 01:05 No Tuning Test (What You Didn’t See) 03:25 The FRT Problem Nobody Talks About 06:18 What Went Wrong in My Rifle 07:46 Can You Fix It?
