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

Rare Breed continues to define the forced reset trigger category with the FRT-15L3, a single-stage, three-position trigger system engineered for the AR-15 platform. This component delivers a distinct mechanical action that resets the trigger forward under recoil, enabling a rapid follow-up shot sequence while maintaining shooter control. Built for those who demand precision and repeatability, the FRT-15L3 is a direct upgrade for any standard AR-15 lower receiver.

Overview

The FRT-15L3 is a single-stage, three-position forced reset trigger system designed to replace your factory AR-15 trigger group. Unlike binary triggers or full-auto conversions, the forced reset mechanism physically returns the trigger shoe forward after each shot, requiring the shooter to reapply pressure for the next discharge. This design results in a consistent, fast cycle that is entirely shooter-dependent. The three-position selector includes a safe mode, a standard semi-automatic mode, and the forced reset mode, giving you full control over your fire rate. As a drop-in unit, installation requires no permanent modification to your firearm.

Features and Specs

• Three-position selector: safe, semi-automatic, and forced reset mode
• Single-stage trigger pull with a crisp, clean break
• Drop-in design, compatible with standard mil-spec AR-15 lower receivers
• Manufactured by Rare Breed in the United States
• Heat-treated steel components for durability and consistent performance
• Includes anti-walk pins for secure installation

The FRT-15L3 single-stage (3-position) forced reset trigger for the AR-15 is a precision-engineered component that requires proper installation and familiarization. The forced reset function operates by using the bolt carrier’s rearward travel to push the trigger forward, resetting it mechanically. This allows the shooter to maintain a firing rhythm that is faster than a standard trigger but remains fully legal under current federal regulations. The trigger pack is self-contained and does not rely on buffer tube or upper receiver components, ensuring consistent operation across different builds.

Performance Specifications

• Trigger pull weight: approximately 4.5 to 5.5 pounds
• Overall length: standard AR-15 trigger dimensions
• Material: steel frame with nickel-Teflon coated trigger shoe
• Compatibility: AR-15, M4, and similar direct impingement platforms
• Includes: trigger pack, selector switch, anti-walk pins, and instruction manual

Who It Is For

This trigger system is intended for experienced AR-15 owners who understand the mechanics of their firearm and want to increase their rate of fire without sacrificing accuracy. It is suitable for competitive shooters in divisions that permit forced reset triggers, as well as enthusiasts who train for speed and shot placement. The FRT-15L3 is not recommended for new shooters or for use in restricted configurations where forced reset technology is prohibited by state or local law. If you are building a performance-oriented rifle or upgrading an existing platform, the FRT-15L3 single-stage (3-position) forced reset trigger for the AR-15 offers a distinct advantage in cyclic control.
