Price went up, RareBreed wont sell directly to WA residents. Their "exclusive distributor" big daddy unlimited ( subscription service vendor) will ship to WA residents, and the last time I looked they were $350 ish, but not in stock with no guaranteed delivery time.

There's apparently a problem with the spring that does the reset and several YT vids on how to try and fix the triggers. Hard pass from me with those sorts of issues at those sorts of prices.

$600 all day long on GB :ROFLMAO:

I'd hate to spend $400+ on a trigger, the law is re-written, then the trigger made illegal with no grandfathering (though I guess you could sell it out of state at that point).

As written technically not illegal as there is no provision for forced resetting but again, don't want to be "that guy"

Bingo. Probably not illegal, but IMO a bump trigger isn't worth the attorney costs you'll have to demonstrate that.

The applicable Washington state definition is in RCW 9.41.010: https://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=9.41.010

Specifically:

RCW 9.41.010 wrote:
(19) "Machine gun" means any firearm known as a machine gun, mechanical rifle, submachine gun, or any other mechanism or instrument not requiring that the trigger be pressed for each shot and having a reservoir clip, disc, drum, belt, or other separable mechanical device for storing, carrying, or supplying ammunition which can be loaded into the firearm, mechanism, or instrument, and fired therefrom at the rate of five or more shots per second.


Note the terms "trigger be pressed for each shot" and "five or more shots per second."

My understanding is that binary triggers are generally considered to be machine guns in WA for this reason; you don't "press" the trigger for each shot, and you can fire 5+ shots per second.

Now this FRT-15 does actually require a press of the trigger for each shot, right? So maybe it's legit.

Other than I think there is more grey area in regard to binary triggers
Spoiler: show
(what constitutes a press? Is the press of the trigger forward by a spring that requires a second action of your finger a separate press? (see also, my signature regarding this not being legal advice))
, I agree. This definitely requires that the trigger be pressed a second time to fire a second shot, meaning that it should be legal.
