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

The FRT-15L3 (Flat) Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 represents the next evolution in semi-automatic trigger technology from Rare Breed. Engineered for shooters who demand precise control and rapid follow-up shots, this flat-faced, single-stage trigger offers a distinct three-position selector that delivers a true forced-reset mechanism. Unlike standard triggers, the FRT-15L3 (Flat) Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 uses the bolt carrier’s forward motion to physically reset the trigger shoe, enabling faster cycling without altering the firearm’s semi-automatic classification. Every unit is precision-machined from billet steel and finished for reliable performance in adverse conditions.

Overview

Rare Breed has engineered the FRT-15L3 (Flat) Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 to meet the demands of competitive shooters and law enforcement professionals. This drop-in trigger system replaces your stock AR-15 fire control group with a three-position safety selector: safe, semi-automatic, and forced-reset mode. In forced-reset mode, the trigger finger must release pressure after each shot to allow the trigger to reset, maintaining full semi-automatic function while enabling significantly faster follow-up shots. The flat trigger shoe provides a consistent, repeatable pull surface that reduces finger fatigue during extended range sessions.

Features & Specs

• Three-position selector: safe (position 1), semi-automatic (position 2), forced-reset mode (position 3). The forced-reset mode uses mechanical linkage to reset the trigger shoe as the bolt carrier returns to battery, requiring intentional finger release between shots.
• Flat, single-stage trigger shoe machined from 4140 steel with a nickel-Teflon coated hammer and sear surfaces. Pull weight is factory-set at approximately 4.5 pounds with minimal creep and a crisp break.
• Drop-in design compatible with standard AR-15 lower receivers. Includes all necessary pins, springs, and installation instructions. No modification to the lower receiver required.

Who It’s For

The FRT-15L3 (Flat) Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 is designed for experienced AR-15 owners who understand trigger mechanics and safety protocols. This product is intended for use by competitive shooters in USPSA, 3-Gun, or tactical rifle matches where rapid target transitions are critical. It is also suited for law enforcement and security personnel who train for high-volume engagements. The forced-reset mechanism demands deliberate trigger control, making it ideal for shooters who want to improve their trigger discipline and shot-to-shot recovery times. This is not a beginner-level modification; users must be familiar with AR-15 operation and maintenance.
