This is the FRT the Kabuto platform has been waiting for: the first true all-metal Kabuto — a 100% CNC machined all-metal body and housing, cut in Dallas, Texas by the same shop behind our best-selling Kabuto Metal Ambi. The 316 stainless steel 3-position ambidextrous selector is polished and bead-blasted for a glass-smooth throw. No printed housing. No polymer anywhere in the fire control path. This is the Kabuto design executed at the quality level it always deserved, and nobody has done it this well.
Why All-Metal Changes Everything
Anyone who has run printed-kit Kabutos knows the two failure points by heart: the printed selector that snaps like a toothpick, and the printed housing that shears off at the shelf. Every part of this unit is cut from solid metal on a CNC machine — not metal-printed, not polymer, machined. That means:
- The selector can take real torque — and glides doing it. 316 stainless steel, polished and bead-blasted for smoothness, full 3-position control from both sides of the receiver — Safe, Semi, and Forced Reset (assisted reset) mode — with detents that stay crisp instead of wallowing out.
- Bearing steel main pin. The highest-stress pivot in the system, running on the material bearings are made from.
- The housing shrugs off the bolt carrier. No shelf shear, no layer-line fractures, no heat softening under sustained fire.
- Tolerances that only machining delivers. CNC-cut engagement surfaces mean a consistent reset, cycle after cycle, for the life of the rifle.

Already running our Kabuto with the metal ambi selector ($114.99)? Same Dallas manufacturer, same design DNA — that one remains the best value entry point in the category. The Full Metal is the same shop's flagship: the design with every last part machined from solid stock and the selector finished to a polish.
Required Hardware
- M16-profile (full-auto cut) BCG required — we run the MPI Nickel Boron M16-Cut BCG — $159.99
- Heavy buffer strongly recommended (H2 minimum, H3 preferred) to kill bolt bounce — shop buffers from $29.99
- Full-power ammo — underpowered loads won't cycle far enough to engage the reset
- Dry-cycle before live fire and function-check on Safe, Semi, and Enhanced Semi
First of Its Kind, Priced to Move
Regular retail on the Full Metal Kabuto is $199.99 — and for a fully machined FRT with a stainless ambi selector, that already undercuts everything comparable. For launch, we're releasing them at $149.99 for a very limited time. When launch stock is gone, the price goes to retail. Machined in Dallas, sold by the shop that knows the Kabuto platform better than anyone.
