    If I remember correctly, the bump stock ban was worded so that it referred to "a single finger action" by the operator, and that put the bump stock into the too close to "real and/or full auto action" classification necessary to justify taking the bump stock away. I never had one so I've never researched it other than reading about the ban once a while back. Have these binary and forced reset setups actually been evaluated and/or dealt with at the federal or local states level (MD, PA, DE, WV, VA, NC)?

    MD's law only says "increases rate of fire" Light trigger or proper lube may actually increase rate of fire; there is no hardware specification in the MD law.

    But - back to the OP; I would say his is something one would buy cash and carry, and not online, if at all. I honestly don't know if it's legal or not.

    they are legal in Va, and probably Pa. not sure about other states ?

    As I understand it, the forced rest and binary triggers are both okay in VA and NC (but not the bump stocks).

    Just FYI about binary triggers. I am not speaking for this FDT-15 trigger because it works differently....
    Sorry if I am being "Captain Obvious" here.

    The ATF has officially ruled on binary type triggers at a federal level. During the bump stock ban, the binary triggers were specifically mentioned as being LEGAL and by looking at the BATF's statement, it kind of made binary triggers almost sound protected.

    The Department disagrees that other firearms or devices, such as rifles, shotguns,
    and binary triggers, will be reclassified as machineguns under this rule. Although rifles
    and shotguns are defined using the term "single pull of the trigger," 18 U.S.C. 921(a)(5),
