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 significant evolution in trigger system design for the modern shooter. Manufactured by Rare Breed, this component is engineered for users who demand a reliable, repeatable, and legally compliant forced reset trigger system. The FRT-15L3 offers a distinct three-position selector that provides a safe, semi-automatic, and forced reset function, giving the operator precise control over firing cadence without modifying the firearm’s receiver classification.

Overview

This trigger system is built around the forced reset principle, where the trigger mechanism physically resets forward after each shot, requiring the shooter to release pressure before the next cycle can begin. The FRT-15L3 single-stage (3-position) forced reset trigger for the AR-15 uses a direct mechanical linkage that eliminates the need for post-travel adjustment. The unit installs directly into standard AR-15 lower receivers and functions with mil-spec bolt carrier groups. Rare Breed has refined the sear engagement geometry to ensure consistent disconnector timing, reducing the likelihood of hammer follow or doubling under normal use.

Features & Specs

• Three-position selector: Safe (position 1), semi-automatic (position 2), forced reset (position 3). The forced reset position activates the mechanical reset linkage that returns the trigger forward after each shot cycle, enabling a faster follow-up shot cadence than standard semi-automatic operation.
• Single-stage pull weight: Factory-set break at approximately 4.5 to 5.5 pounds with minimal overtravel. The sear surfaces are CNC-machined from tool steel and heat-treated for wear resistance under high-round-count use.
• Drop-in design: No gunsmith fitting required for installation in mil-spec AR-15 lower receivers. The housing includes stainless steel pins and a reinforced trigger bar that interfaces with standard safety selectors.
