Schmid Match Flat Elite 3.5-Pound Fire Control Group
The Schmid Inside Match Flat Elite FCG is a complete component-style fire control group for compatible AR-platform lower receivers. Model SI-FCG-3-FLT-ELT combines a flat trigger shoe with a manufacturer-specified 3.5-pound pull, single-stage operation and a Nickel Teflon finish.
The package contains the trigger, hammer and disconnector together with their corresponding springs and the trigger and hammer pins. This gives builders the primary fire-control components in one coordinated kit for a new lower receiver or trigger-group replacement.
Flat Trigger Shoe
The defining feature of this Match Elite configuration is its flat trigger shoe. The straight face provides a consistent reference surface and lets the shooter select a preferred finger position along the shoe.
Trigger-shoe shape is largely a matter of ergonomics and individual preference. Shooters who favor a traditional profile can consider the curved Match Elite version, while SI-FCG-3-FLT-ELT is intended for those who prefer a flat contact surface.
Single-Stage 3.5-Pound Pull
Schmid specifies this fire control group as a single-stage design with a 3.5-pound pull weight. A single-stage trigger moves through one primary operating stage instead of the separately defined first and second stages associated with a two-stage trigger.
The 3.5-pound specification distinguishes this Elite configuration from heavier Schmid fire control groups. Actual perceived pull and final function can be affected by the receiver, component fit, installation and measurement method.
Nickel Teflon Finish
The trigger, hammer and related fire-control components use Schmid’s specified Nickel Teflon finish. This finish also makes the Match Flat Elite easy to distinguish from Schmid configurations offered with phosphate, Nickel Boron or DLC finishes.
Use only appropriate firearm maintenance products and follow the manufacturer’s lubrication and inspection recommendations. Do not alter engagement surfaces or other fire-control components.

Choosing the Match Flat Elite
Choose SI-FCG-3-FLT-ELT when the desired combination is a flat trigger shoe, single-stage action, 3.5-pound pull and Nickel Teflon finish. Buyers who want the same general Match Elite configuration with a traditional curved shoe should compare Schmid model SI-FCG-3-ELT.
A two-stage Schmid trigger is a different operating configuration and should be selected when a defined first stage followed by a separate break is preferred. Confirm receiver and component compatibility before purchase and have the completed firearm inspected and function-tested after installation.
