FRT-15L3™ Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15

Overview

The FRT-15L3™ Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 represents the next evolution in trigger system engineering from Rare Breed. Designed specifically for the AR-15 platform, this forced reset trigger (FRT) offers a three-position selector that provides a safe, semi-automatic, and forced reset fire mode. Each unit is precision-machined from billet steel and heat-treated to military-grade hardness specifications. The FRT-15L3™ operates through a mechanical forced reset mechanism that returns the trigger forward after each shot, enabling a controlled cycling rate limited only by the shooter’s trigger finger manipulation. This trigger system is built to Mil-Spec dimensions and drops directly into standard AR-15 lower receivers without requiring any permanent modification to the firearm.

Features & Specs

Every FRT-15L3™ Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 is manufactured by Rare Breed and categorized under precision triggers. The single-stage design delivers a consistent pull weight of 4.5 to 5.5 pounds with zero take-up and a crisp break point. The three-position selector includes safe (rotated to safe position), semi-automatic (rotated to semi position), and forced reset (rotated to third position) modes. The forced reset function uses a proprietary cam and sear geometry that mechanically pushes the trigger shoe forward after each hammer release, requiring the shooter to maintain positive pressure to reset the cycle.
