Tuning Recommendations
These are general recommendations based on our personal experience.
Your experience may vary depending on your rifle.

5.56 16" Mid Length Gas- H1/H2 Buffer

5.56 16" Mid Length Gas Suppressed- H2/H3 Buffer 

5.56 16" Carbine Length Gas- H2/H3 Buffer or Rifle Length Spring with Carbine Buffer 

5.56 11.5" Carbine Length Gas- H1/H2

5.56 11.5" Carbine Length Gas Suppressed- H2/H3

300blk 7.5" Pistol Length Gas- H1

300blk 7.5" Pistol Length Gas Suppressed- H1/H2

9mm blowback ARs
Without proper tuning will cause premature wear. We will warranty any that deform regardless (excluding negligent retardation), but at this time we strongly recommending a 10+oz buffer weight or a captured/hydraulic buffer (the heaviest that is available) with the MARC if you're planning on running them with a blowback 9mm. For a tuning guide with full explanations check out the following video from Blowback9 on Youtube, he is a wealth of knowledge for your AR-"SMG"/AR-PCC needs.
 
 
 
In principle, the MARC does operate in a similar fashion to other products, but it remains legally and mechanically distinct due to the multitude of functional, material, and aesthetic improvements implemented by Cornfire Arsenal LLC.
These improvements reflect independent engineering judgment and upgraded material selection intended to correct what we consider to be inferior or unreliable implementations found in other products on the market.
The MARC design prioritizes durability, and long-term reliability.
 
Particularly because due to the life saving nature of the systems they may be utilized in.

If you have legality concerns please refer to the following ATF.gov case which rules forced reset trigger to be enable only semi automatic operation FRT Legal Determination.

Firearm Functionality Notice
The above product, when properly installed and left unmodified, is designed and intended solely for lawful semi-automatic operation. It is not capable of automatic fire, nor is it readily convertible to enable automatic or burst-fire operation. The product actively resets the trigger, producing one discharge per individual trigger pull, in full compliance with all applicable federal firearm laws. It is up to the end user to educate themselves on legislation that applies to their state or locality. 

Intellectual Property Statement
This product incorporates design principles that are consistent with those recognized as lawful in prior judicial and regulatory determinations FRT Legal Determination. It does not use, reproduce, or infringe upon any patented, copyrighted, or otherwise protected intellectual property belonging to any third party.

Independent Development: While the MARC may operate on general mechanical principles similar to other semi-automatic trigger systems, it is legally distinct and non-infringing under established categories of intellectual property law. The trigger group interaction and reset system were developed entirely in-house, without access to or use of any competitor’s CAD files, proprietary data, or patent-protected materials.

Functional Necessity/Non-Substantial Similarity: The MARC incorporates distinct mechanical geometry, material composition, and sequencing, resulting in substantial design and feature set deviations even where the general operational concept remains the same. All being necessary to fulfill quality standards required by its intended use. The mechanical act of resetting a trigger or releasing a hammer at certain points in an operational cycle represents a functional process that exists within the public domain and therefore cannot be copyrighted, as protection applies only to a unique expression or design. 

Distinct Aesthetic Design: The MARC features aesthetically distinct components, including a modified mil-spec safety selector profile and other externally visible differences, providing clear differentiation in both form and trade dress.

    MARC Review

    Posted by Matt on Nov 30th 2025

    I used this in a BCM lower with a BCM PNT Milspec trigger and Larue MBT-2s trigger. I’ve read that it may or may not work with the MBT trigger but it worked great for me. Easy install and you don’t have to modify anything. I put over 500 rounds on this trigger without any malfunctions. Highly recommend this FRT trigger.

    Perfect.

    Nothing but good things to say. Install was a breeze, function is smooth, and chuckles are high. Tried some of the other SS's but didn't love em. This... this is the one. 10/10

    Put it in my 300 Blackout with a Geissele S3G trigger and the lever blocker needed for Geissele triggers—simple, straightforward installation. It ran with no issues. Highly recommended.
