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 from Rare Breed represents the latest evolution in forced reset trigger technology. Engineered for precision and reliability, this flat-faced trigger delivers a distinct three-position selector function: Safe, Semi-Automatic, and Forced Reset. Designed specifically for the AR-15 platform, the FRT-15L3™ offers shooters a controlled, repeatable trigger pull without compromising on safety or durability. As a direct commercial upgrade from Rare Breed, this trigger has been refined for both law enforcement and civilian use, providing a competitive edge in rapid-fire scenarios while maintaining compliance with current regulatory standards.

Overview

The FRT-15L3™ (Flat) Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 is a single-stage, drop-in trigger system that replaces your standard AR-15 fire control group. Its unique forced reset mechanism automatically resets the trigger forward after each shot, allowing for rapid follow-up shots with minimal finger movement. The flat trigger shoe provides a consistent, straight-back pull that reduces trigger finger fatigue during extended use. Each unit is precision-machined from billet steel and undergoes rigorous quality control testing at Rare Breed’s U.S. facility. This trigger is not a binary or full-auto device; it operates within the legal definition of a semi-automatic trigger system when used in the semi-automatic position.
