I got the frt 15 installed a while back, and yeah, it definitely takes some getting used to if you're used to standard triggers. Mine ran fine with quality ammo, but cheap steel case stuff gave me a few hiccups. Make sure your bolt carrier group is full auto rated and everything’s well-lubed—helps a lot with reliability. Also, brace yourself for a bit of a learning curve on the reset timing.

No they don't, all they have is partizan and a knockoff and a high dollar pin punch.

I have a few of them, the way to test it is seperate the halves, cock the hammer, put it on frt and with one hand push the hammer all the way down and then with other move the lever back. if there is any drag you will have to file or dremel off a little on the back of the trigger if it drags hard and you don't file it the lever will probably break. There are Videos showin how to do it

That's the way i have done all mine and they all work. some may not need the filing but most do. take a little off at a time so you don't take too much. it don't take much at all off it even when it is dragging hard.

That's not 100% accurate. You only need the Safety selector portion from the arcfire kit. You can use any trigger you want. It just needs to have the trigger shoe cut for super safety. You can either buy them pre-cut from AS Designs or do it yourself. It takes a few minutes with a dremel. Any milspec trigger will work if you cut it. Depending on lower and hammer/BCG - you may need to modify the lower and/or add a lever blocker.
There's almost no reason why you would have had to drill your gas port, unless that was an issue with the rifle prior.
