HK416, MR556 3-Position ARC-Fire Trigger with Ambidextrous Controls
AS Designs' ARC-Fire (Active Reset Clutch) trigger is a forced reset-style trigger that resets immediately after each shot for rapid follow-up shots (one compliant round per trigger action).
Platform compatibility
- Direct fit in MR556 and HK416 firearms (ambi selector levers do not align with the factory pictogram; see included pics).
- Only the included selector levers are compatible with the ARC-Fire kit because the selector lever is part of the ARC mechanism.
- Does not require a full-auto BCG, but a FA BCG may keep the trip lever from flipping backwards and disengaging.
- If using a semi-auto BCG: actuating the charging handle with the muzzle pointed up disengages the trip lever; point the muzzle toward the ground and actuate again to reposition the trip lever.
Compatible with
- HK416 A5 (1.8mm gas vent screw recommended)
- HK MR556 A4 (1.8mm gas vent screw recommended)
- HK MR556 A1 (requires an adjustable gas block to cycle)
- HK416 A1, A3 (requires an adjustable gas block to cycle)
Gas vent screw guidance
- MR556 A4 rifles and pistols are factory-equipped with a 1.3mm gas vent screw.
- 1.8mm was optimal for an MR556 A4 using 11" and 16" barrel rifles with standard M195 ball 55gr 5.56.
- Most configurations cycle well with a gas vent screw in the 1.6mm–2.0mm range.
Ejection guidance
- Expected ejection pattern: approximately 3–4 o'clock.
- Closer to 1 o'clock (over-gassed): go UP in vent screw size (CLOSE gas block).
- Closer to 5 o'clock (under-gassed): go DOWN in vent screw size (OPEN gas block).
