Purpose-Built .22LR Platforms Engineered for Maximum Performance with the Rare Breed FRT-15L3™ Trigger System
Tippmann Arms and Rare Breed Firearms are proud to announce a strategic collaboration to introduce a new line of dedicated FRT-equipped rimfire firearms built specifically around the patented Rare Breed Triggers FRT-15L3™ Forced Reset Trigger System and the renowned Tippmann Arms M4-22 platform.
The new product lineup includes:
- Tippmann Arms M4-22 ELITE Rifle FRT
- Tippmann Arms M4-22 ELITE Pistol FRT
- Tippmann Arms M4-22 Micro ELITE Pistol FRT
These new models represent the first purpose-engineered rimfire firearm systems specifically optimized for the performance characteristics of the Rare Breed FRT-15L3™ trigger technology. Dealers will be able to purchase the new FRT models directly through both Tippmann Arms and Rare Breed Firearms.
As part of the collaboration, Tippmann Arms and Rare Breed Firearms worked closely with Rare Breed Triggers to develop, manufacture, and supply a specialized variant of the FRT-15L3™ trigger system specifically for the Tippmann Arms FRT platform and this collaborative project. In parallel, Tippmann Arms engineered extensive firearm enhancements, including a Patent Pending anti-bounce bolt system, modified upper and lower receivers, and optimized buffer components to fully harness the high-performance operation of the FRT platform.
Together, these engineering advancements deliver an exceptionally fast, smooth, and reliable shooting experience in a lightweight, low-recoil .22LR platform.
Dennis Tippmann Jr., President of Tippmann Arms, commented:
“This collaboration brings together three companies focused on innovation and performance. Our M4-22 platform has earned a reputation for unmatched reliability in the rimfire AR market, and pairing it with Rare Breed Triggers’ patented FRT technology created an incredibly exciting shooting experience. By engineering the platform specifically around the trigger system, we achieved a level of reliability and controllability that shooters are going to appreciate immediately.”
Lawrence DeMonico, President of Rare Breed Triggers and Rare Breed Firearms, added:
“Tippmann Arms was the ideal partner for this project because their dedication to engineering quality matches our own. We worked closely together to engineer an optimized variant of the FRT-15L3™ for rimfire operation, and the result exceeded expectations. These dedicated models deliver the speed, responsiveness, and consistency customers expect from Rare Breed while maintaining the outstanding durability of the Tippmann Arms platform.”
The new Tippmann Arms FRT models are designed for recreational shooting, training, and competition applications where fast follow-up shots and enhanced shooting dynamics are desired.
