Faxon Firearms will show a new product at the SHOT Show called the Backstrap for Modern Sporting Rifles.

The Backstrap sounds like a grip safety typical to the 1911 handgun. According to Faxon, the “Backstrap is a passive system to disable fire control on a Modern Sporting Rifle” and is “similar to John Browing’s design.”

According to the company the Backstrap is designed for competitors and tactical operations.

Faxon will sell the Backstrap assembly as a kit that will include a lower receiver, grip and the Backstrap part itself. No MSRP has been announced.

Is this something you would be interesting in having for your AR-15?
