AS Designs ARC-Fire™ Ambidextrous Selector System (ARC Technology)
Reset Redefined. Patent-pending Active Reset Clutch (ARC) technology for faster trigger reset, improved control, and multi-platform compatibility.
The AS Designs ARC-Fire™ is a next-generation ambidextrous selector system featuring patent-pending Active Reset Clutch (ARC) technology. Designed to enhance reset speed while maintaining control and compliance, the ARC-Fire forces a positive, immediate reset after each shot—enabling rapid, precise follow-up shots. Available at NSPEC Innovations.
Key Highlights
- Patent-pending ARC Technology: Forces immediate reset after each shot for faster follow-up shots.
- Ambidextrous Selector: Fast, intuitive access for both right- and left-handed shooters.
- Three-Position Control: Safe / Semi / ARC mode for quick transitions and adaptable performance.
- Precision Materials: Tool-steel internals and 4140 steel selectors for durability under sustained use.
- Multi-Platform Compatibility: Supports numerous popular platforms with additional kits where required.
How ARC-Fire Works
The ARC-Fire’s Active Reset Clutch (ARC) system mechanically forces reset after each shot. This produces a consistent, tactile reset and helps maximize cadence while keeping control predictable—ideal for training, competition, and performance-focused builds.
