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 a precision-engineered upgrade for operators who demand consistent, repeatable mechanical performance from their platform. Manufactured by Rare Breed, this trigger system utilizes a three-position selector that allows the user to engage safe, semi-automatic, and forced-reset modes. The forced-reset function mechanically returns the trigger forward after each shot, enabling a rapid cycling cadence that is entirely dependent on the shooter’s trigger finger technique. Each unit is constructed from heat-treated steel components and machined aluminum housings, ensuring dimensional stability under sustained use. The FRT-15L3™ trigger is designed as a direct drop-in replacement for standard AR-15 lower receivers, requiring no permanent modifications to the firearm. This trigger does not contain any automatic sears and is classified as a manual trigger system under current ATF guidelines.

Features & Specs

The FRT-15L3™ Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 is built around a single-stage pull with a factory-set break weight of approximately 4.5 to 5.5 pounds. The three-position selector clearly marks safe, semi, and forced-reset positions with positive detent engagement. The forced-reset mechanism uses a cam profile that physically pushes the trigger shoe forward after the hammer falls, requiring the shooter to release and reapply pressure for each subsequent round. All internal components are precision-milled from billet steel and coated with a corrosion-resistant manganese phosphate finish.
