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

The FRT-15L3™ Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 represents a refined evolution in trigger system design from Rare Breed. Engineered for shooters who demand precise control over their cyclic rate, this drop-in unit introduces a third position that combines the functionality of a standard semi-automatic trigger with the advanced forced-reset mechanism. Unlike conventional triggers, the FRT-15L3™ requires the shooter to maintain forward pressure on the trigger after each shot, forcing the trigger forward to reset and enabling a faster follow-up. This is not a full-auto device; it is a legally compliant trigger system that changes how the shooter interfaces with the fire control group.

Overview

The FRT-15L3™ Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 is a direct drop-in replacement for standard AR-15 lower receivers. It features a three-position selector: Safe, Semi (standard semi-automatic operation), and FRT (forced reset mode). In FRT mode, the trigger functions as a single-stage unit that mechanically forces the trigger shoe forward after each discharge. The shooter must release and re-engage the trigger for each shot, but the forced reset reduces the time between trigger pulls. This system is designed for range use, competitive shooting, and training scenarios where rapid follow-up shots are necessary. Rare Breed has engineered this trigger with mil-spec durability and a crisp, predictable break that maintains consistency across all positions.

The FRT-15L3™ is manufactured to strict tolerances by Rare Breed, a trusted name in the firearms industry. The trigger housing is CNC-machined from 7075-T6 aluminum, and all internal components are heat-treated for durability. Pull weight is factory-set to approximately 4.5-5.5 pounds in Semi mode and remains consistent in FRT mode. The trigger shoe features a slightly curved profile with a serrated face for positive finger placement. This trigger is not compatible with binary trigger systems or aftermarket auto-sears.

Who It’s For

This FRT-15L3™ Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 is designed for experienced AR-15 owners who want to explore advanced trigger mechanics without modifying their firearm’s internal structure. It is suitable for competitive shooters in divisions that permit forced reset triggers, as well as for range enthusiasts who train for speed and accuracy under timed conditions. The third position offers a unique training tool for shooters working on trigger control and recoil management. Law enforcement and military personnel may also find value in the FRT-15L3™ for familiarization with high-speed trigger manipulation. This trigger is not recommended for new shooters or for use in defensive firearms where standard semi-automatic operation is preferred.
