State Legality Matrix / Forced Reset Triggers / Oregon
Statute-cited, last verified 2026-07-28
No. Prohibited as a rapid fire activator, with forced reset triggers named explicitly. Effective 2025-09-26.
Controlling law: Or. Rev. Stat. § 166.352 (SB 243, 2025)
SB 243 (Community Safety Firearms Act) defines forced reset trigger by name within rapid fire activator; transport, manufacture, or transfer is a class B felony and possession a class A misdemeanor.
Under the 2025 DOJ settlement with Rare Breed Triggers, an FRT fires one round per trigger function and is not an NFA machine gun federally. The settlement covers rifles and grip-forward pistols; it does not extend to grip-fed handguns (Glock, S&W M&P, Canik), whose federal FRT status remains less settled. State bans operate independently of federal law through broader state machine-gun, trigger-activator, or rate-of-fire definitions.
Scope: Forced reset triggers (Rare Breed FRT-15, Dairyland Defender, and similar) and forced-reset selectors (AR Super Safety, ARC-Fire). One round per trigger function. Binary triggers are a separate class.
No. Prohibited as a rapid fire activator, with forced reset triggers named explicitly. Effective 2025-09-26. Controlling law: Or. Rev. Stat. § 166.352 (SB 243, 2025).
