I got mine a month ago. Dropped it in an 80% ar pistol with 7.5" barrel.
It works beautiful.
When I was on active duty, I carried a Mk18. I honestly can't tell the difference in shooting the FRT15 pistol and shooting the old Mk18.
I have had no malfunctions so far...
I hope you enjoy yours.

Well. it didnt work. Running an H3 buffer it would just let the hammer follow through. light dents in the primer . Never could get more than one round out then the dreaded dead trigger. With a heavier 8.2 ounce buffer it wouldnt strip a new round at all. Put it in a different gun and I'lll try it out again tomorrow

Subs like you seen it to cycle faster, not slower. It's kicking the trigger out and you're pulling it again before it's ready.

Kind of hard to do that. The thing that "isnt an auto sear " where an auto sear normally sits locks the trigger and hammer and keeps the trigger from getting pulled before bolt closure,. What it really does is releases the trigger to get pulled instead of the hammer like a true auto sear does. I dont think they are going to be on the market long.
In any case It worked better on my M16A2 clone after a little tinkering. The Colt Commando uppers are pretty overgassed.

Early reports of a design flaw in the rear most spring. The spring is fine, the angle is wrong. Bends the spring after repeated use.
OP
I dont think thats real . It may have been and they may have done a design change but there is so much room behind the spring that it can't bind. Plenty of people have run 5K through them without incidence. The kinked spring thing maye have been a defective sprint to begin with or they did a design change or it may just be the ability for some folks to screw anything up .
I ran over 600 rounds theough it the other day looks like new.

Couple years back there was a company out of Arizona who made a similar trigger ... TacCon. It worked on the same principles and with a little tweak after buffer switch it ran like a scolded dog ... for about 500 rounds then metal fatigue cause it’s flipper to break because the metal was to hard. They reworked the hardening equation and it went to soft and it wore the flipper down. Not saying the Rarebreed will experience the same thing but watch your metal parts for wear or cracks when you clean it.
How do you flinch that fast? Leeds has been nice without as many people.
OP
Gas puffing in the eye from the suppressor .Forgot my glasses. Didn't bother me much. There was another guy there who asked if he could shoot with his ammo. Sure I said. Half a mag through he was on the ground crying." I can't do it. It's so heavy. My eyes are burning" I felt like going Sergeant Mike on him but those days are long over. Rest up buttercup.

I had a rarebreed I'm my stock CMMG banshee. Couldn't get it to cycle through more than a few rounds. Chocked it up to the buffer not being an H3. Can't buy an h3 for those stock banshee tubes. Switched out lowers to a full length carbine buffer and it's ran beautifully the last few times I've taken it to the range. I thought the radial delayed blowback would mess with it a little bit it didn't.
OP
I only had one lower it would work with and thats only because it was out of spec ( thanks PSA ) and was pulling the upper down too far. Could barely get the takedown pin in. Thats the one on that video. Couldnt get it to run in anything else. Finally spent some quality time determining why and figured out that the hammer wasnt going down far enough to reset the trigger reliably. I ended up putting a little dab of weld metal at the contact point where the trigger touckes the hammer and dressing it down to about .020" over where it had been and it fully resets and runs like a champ in everything now.
