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

This product represents a significant advancement in AR-15 trigger technology. The FRT-15L3 Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15, manufactured by Rare Breed, delivers a precision-engineered shooting experience designed for users who demand reliability and controlled cyclic performance. This forced reset trigger (FRT) system utilizes a patented three-position selector that governs hammer and sear interaction, providing distinct modes of operation without compromising safety or mechanical integrity.

Overview

The FRT-15L3 Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 is a drop-in trigger group that replaces the standard mil-spec assembly. It operates on a single-stage, two-pound trigger pull weight with a crisp, defined break. The forced reset mechanism mechanically returns the trigger forward after each shot, requiring the shooter to release and re-engage the trigger for subsequent rounds. This design does not rely on spring tension alone for reset—it uses a cam-driven engagement that physically resets the trigger shoe, ensuring consistent lockup and positive sear engagement. The three-position selector includes safe, semi-automatic, and forced reset modes, each with distinct audible and tactile indicators.

Features & Specs

• Single-stage trigger with a factory-set pull weight of 2.0 pounds; no take-up or creep before break.
• Three-position selector: safe (position 1), semi-automatic (position 2), and forced reset (position 3).
• Patented forced reset cam mechanism; hammer follows bolt carrier forward during cycling, resetting trigger shoe without shooter input.
• Drop-in design: no gunsmith fitting required; includes anti-walk pins and pre-installed springs.
• Heat-treated 4140 steel hammer and sear; nickel-Teflon coated trigger shoe for reduced friction.
• Compatible with standard AR-15 lower receivers; works with mil-spec bolt carrier groups and buffer systems.
• Overall length: 2.75 inches; weight: 3.2 ounces.

Each unit is individually function-tested at the factory. The FRT-15L3 Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 is designed to maintain consistent hammer strike energy across all three selector positions, ensuring reliable primer ignition with both brass and steel-cased ammunition.

Who It’s For

This trigger system is intended for experienced AR-15 builders, competitive shooters, and firearms enthusiasts who understand mechanical trigger function and safety protocols. The forced reset mode requires deliberate trigger control and familiarity with the firearm’s cycling characteristics. Users should have prior experience with AR-15 platform disassembly, assembly, and function testing. The FRT-15L3 Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 is not recommended for first-time builders or those seeking a standard hunting or precision rifle trigger. It is a performance component designed for controlled, repeatable shot sequencing in a range or training environment.

• Experienced AR-15 platform users who understand forced reset mechanics.
• Competitive shooters requiring a consistent single-stage break with fast reset capability.
• Builders assembling a dedicated range-use rifle with non-standard trigger geometry.
