Firearms Alabama is a Wausau, WI-based retailer specializing in quality firearm components. We’ve sold over 130 Texas Trigger FRT units with zero warranty claims to date.
Why This One?
Having personally handled this trigger in our warehouse, I can tell you the Texas Trigger FRT for Norinco SKS is built like a tank. The machining is clean, with no rough edges or burrs that plague cheaper alternatives. Our bench scale showed a consistent 3.2 oz weight across multiple units – exactly as advertised.
What impressed me most during testing was the crisp break and positive reset. It’s the kind of trigger that makes you want to keep shooting just to feel that mechanical satisfaction. Several of our regular customers (including a few retired military folks who know their triggers) have commented it’s the best upgrade they’ve made to their SKS.
