FRT-15C3 Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15

Overview

The FRT-15C3 Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 represents a refined evolution in forced reset trigger design from Rare Breed. This unit combines a true two-stage pull with a third-position forced reset function, giving the shooter deliberate control over each shot cycle. Unlike binary triggers, the FRT-15C3 resets the trigger forward under spring tension after each round, requiring the shooter to release the trigger before the next shot can occur. The result is a predictable, repeatable firing sequence that maintains the mechanical safety characteristics of a standard semi-automatic action. This trigger is drop-in compatible with standard AR-15 lower receivers and requires no permanent modification to the firearm.

Features and Specs

The FRT-15C3 Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 is built around Rare Breed’s proprietary cam-and-sear geometry. The two-stage pull provides a defined take-up wall before the forced reset engagement, giving the shooter a tactile reference point. The third position activates the forced reset function, which mechanically returns the trigger forward after each discharge. This design does not alter the firearm’s semi-automatic classification, as one trigger pull still produces one round fired.
