Overview

The AS Designs Arc-Fire V2 Ambi Kit (0-90-180) is the second-generation version of the Arc-Fire forced reset selector, revealed at SHOT Show 2026 and shipping March 2026. This variant retains the traditional 0-degree safe, 90-degree semi, and 180-degree ARC throw pattern of the V1 while adding V2's internal refinements: smoother cam geometry, reduced system drag, and an updated Active Reset Clutch mechanism that cycles more cleanly during sustained rapid fire. The 180-degree throw to ARC is deliberate - it requires a committed, unambiguous motion to engage forced reset, which some shooters prefer over shorter throws.

Like every Arc-Fire, the V2 is a forced reset selector (FRS), not a forced reset trigger (FRT). It replaces only your safety selector, leaving your existing Mil-Spec or Geissele super safety cut trigger in place. That means a Geissele SSA-E retains its 3.5 lb two-stage break for precision work while the Arc-Fire provides forced reset when flipped to ARC mode. Compatible triggers include Mil-Spec, Geissele SSA/SSA-E/SSA-X/SD3G, ALG, BCM PNT, PSA EPT, Aero Precision, CMMG, and Anderson. The Arc-Fire is not compatible with LaRue MBT-2S, CMC Single Stage, or Rise Armament RA-140 triggers.

The V2 platform supports AR-15 and 10+ other systems with the appropriate Slip Trip Kit, including MCX, MPX, MP5, SCAR, BRN-180, JAKL, G3, AP53, UMP, STRIBOG, and DISSENT. Ambidextrous levers ship with the kit for left- or right-handed configuration. The selector uses 4140 steel with black oxide finish, and the ARC components are M2 tool steel with DLC coating for wear resistance. The Arc-Fire V2 is also offered in 0-45-90 and 0-45-180 throw configurations, plus a non-ambidextrous variant, so shooters can match selector travel to platform and preference. Forced reset selectors are federally legal following the May 2025 DOJ settlement; AS Designs does not ship to CA, CO, CT, DE, FL, HI, IL, MA, MD, MN, NJ, NV, NY, OR, or RI.
