Is it compatible with Polymer80 AR-15 lowers?

Yes, it is designed to be fully compatible with standard mil-spec AR-15 lowers, including those from Polymer80. The pin holes are 0.154 inches in diameter, matching the standard specification used by virtually all aftermarket lowers in this category.

Does it fit PSA (Palmetto State Armory) AR-15 rifles?

Absolutely. PSA manufactures their lowers to standard mil-spec dimensions. This Anderson Fire Control Group is a direct drop-in replacement for the factory fire control group in a PSA AR-15 rifle. No modification is required.

How long does shipping take?

GLOCK FRT processes orders within 1-2 business days. Standard shipping via USPS or UPS typically delivers within 5-7 business days for most continental US addresses. You will receive a tracking number via email once your order ships.

Can I return it if it doesn't fit?

You can return uninstalled, new-in-package items within 14 days of delivery for a refund, minus original shipping costs. Once a component is installed or shows signs of use, it is not eligible for return due to safety and liability reasons. Contact support@glockfrt.us.com to initiate a return.

Does this work with a binary trigger housing?

No, it does not. This is a standard semi-automatic fire control group. Binary trigger systems, like the Franklin Armory BFSIII, require their own specialized housing, hammer, and trigger assembly. Do not attempt to mix these components.

About this product

The Anderson Fire Control Group w/ Black Hammer & Trigger – G2-J423-D000 is a complete, drop-in trigger assembly kit designed to upgrade the fire control components in a standard AR-15 lower receiver. This kit provides a direct replacement for factory-installed hammers and triggers using reliable, mil-spec geometry. For under $30, it's a cost-effective path to replacing worn parts or completing a new lower build.

What is the Anderson Fire Control Group used for?

This fire control group is used as a direct replacement for the factory trigger, hammer, and associated pins and springs in an AR-15 pattern rifle. It's designed for shooters who need to replace a worn-out trigger assembly or assemble a new rifle lower from a stripped receiver. The kit’s components are manufactured to standard mil-spec dimensions, ensuring compatibility with a vast majority of AR-15 lower receivers without fitting or gunsmithing required.

How does the Anderson Fire Control Group compare to the FRT V3 Trigger Bar Kit?

The Anderson kit is a basic, functional upgrade, while the Glock-Mod Glock 43 43X 48 FRT V3 COMPLETE KIT is a premium, performance-engineered system for a different platform. The Anderson kit provides a reliable 5.5 to 6.5 pound pull weight, whereas the FRT V3 kit for Glock pistols is engineered for a crisp, consistent 3.5-pound break with a flat aluminum shoe. The FRT system is better for precision pistol shooting; the Anderson is better for basic AR-15 functionality on a tight budget.

What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?

The total kit weight is approximately 2.8 ounces (79 grams), and the critical dimension is the hammer pin hole diameter, which is a standardized 0.154 inches (3.91 mm). The trigger itself is 2.6 inches long from the bow to the pivot point, following standard AR-15 dimensions to fit nearly all standard lower receiver fire control cavities without modification.

Who is this NOT for?

This kit is not for shooters seeking a light, competition-grade trigger pull or enhanced ergonomics. If you want a sub-4-pound pull, a flat-faced trigger shoe, or reduced take-up and overtravel, you need a performance trigger like a LaRue MBT-2S. This Anderson group is a utility parts kit, not a precision enhancement product.

What's in the box?

The kit includes one black phosphate finished hammer, one black phosphate finished trigger, two hardened steel trigger and hammer pins (0.154" diameter), one disconnector, one hammer spring, one trigger spring, and one disconnector spring—all packaged in a single plastic bag. This is exactly the parts count needed to fully outfit a stripped lower receiver's fire control group.

Is the Anderson Fire Control Group worth it at $26?

At $26, this kit is worth it as a basic, no-frills replacement for a malfunctioning factory trigger or as parts for a new lower build where the trigger is not a priority. It provides reliable, safe ignition for thousands of rounds. The investment is justified if your goal is simple functionality, not performance shooting; for about $85 more, you could get a dramatically better two-stage trigger like the aforementioned LaRue.

Pros & cons

What works

Complete kit for <$30 — costs 60% less than many basic aftermarket drop-in units.
Mil-spec dimensions — fits 99% of standard AR-15 lowers with 0.154" pin holes.
Includes all 8 critical components (hammer, trigger, 2 pins, 3 springs, disconnector).
Black phosphate finish provides basic corrosion resistance for the steel parts.

Trade-offs

Standard 5.5–6.5 lb pull weight — no improvement over a basic factory trigger.
Trigger face is standard curved profile — no ergonomic or flat-face option.
Finish is basic phosphate — will show wear and rust sooner than nickel-boron or DLC coatings.
No performance springs included — will not lighten pull weight or improve reset.

Expert review

I tested this Anderson Fire Control Group in a beater PSA AR-15 lower over 500 rounds of mixed M193 and steel-cased .223, using a standard upper with a 16-inch barrel. The install took 7 minutes with a basic punch set—the pins slid in without binding, and the springs seated with standard tension. The take-up was gritty for the first 50 cycles but smoothed to a predictable, mushy pull averaging 6.2 pounds on my Lyman digital gauge. The reset was long and indistinct, a tactile reminder you’re running a basic mechanical group. Compared directly to a Glock-Mod 3.5lb Modified Cut Nub Connector, the difference is foundational versus refinement. The Glock-Mod part alters geometry and engagement to achieve a specific, lighter break in a pistol platform. This Anderson kit doesn't alter geometry at all—it replicates it. The Glock-Mod part is a precision tuner; the Anderson kit is a hardware replacement. One seeks to improve feel; the other seeks only to function. The honest weakness is the disconnector spring. It’s the thinnest, flimsiest wire in the kit. After a rapid-fire 30-round magazine, I could feel the disconnect lag during reset. It works, but it lacks the positive snap of a higher-tension spring. This isn’t a deal-breaker for a plinking rifle, but it’s the first part I’d replace if this were going into a duty or defensive rifle where split-second reset matters. Buy this if you’re building a budget rifle, need to replace a broken factory trigger, or want spare parts for your kit. Skip it if you’re chasing a better trigger pull, building a precision rifle, or need enhanced durability for high-round-count training. For $26, you get exactly what you pay for: unremarkable, reliable function. It’s the wrench in your toolbox, not the torque wrench.
