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 refined evolution in drop-in trigger technology from Rare Breed. Engineered as a direct replacement for mil-spec trigger groups, this unit offers three distinct selector positions: safe, semi-automatic, and forced-reset mode. The single-stage design delivers a consistent, crisp break with a short reset, enabling rapid follow-up shots while maintaining compliance with current regulatory standards. Constructed from heat-treated steel and precision-machined components, the FRT-15L3 is built for sustained performance under heavy use. Each unit undergoes factory function testing to ensure reliable engagement across various AR-15 platforms, including both standard and pistol-caliber configurations. The forced-reset mechanism operates by mechanically returning the trigger forward after each shot, requiring the shooter to release and re-engage the trigger for each subsequent round, a distinction that defines its unique operating cycle. This product is designed for shooters who demand a higher cyclic potential from their rifle without altering the firearm’s fundamental action type.

Features & Specs

The FRT-15L3 Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 integrates proprietary engineering to deliver a consistent shooting experience. Below are the key specifications and design elements that define this trigger system:

• Manufacturer: Rare Breed | Category: Triggers | Platform: AR-15, LR-308, and compatible variants
• Three-position selector: Safe, semi-automatic, and forced-reset mode with audible and tactile detent feedback
• Single-stage pull weight: factory-tuned to 4.5–5.5 lbs with minimal overtravel and a mechanical forced-reset cycle
• Drop-in cassette design: includes pre-installed trigger, hammer, disconnect, selector, and anti-walk pins for installation in standard mil-spec lower receivers
• Materials: 4140 heat-treated steel hammer and trigger, hardened tool steel disconnect, and nickel-Teflon coated components for corrosion resistance and reduced friction

The trigger’s forced-reset function is achieved through a cam-actuated engagement surface that physically pushes the trigger forward after hammer release. This action requires the shooter to fully release the trigger before the next cycle, ensuring each shot is a deliberate trigger pull. The unit is compatible with most aftermarket safety selectors and requires no modifications to the lower receiver beyond standard drop-in installation.

Who It’s For

This trigger is intended for experienced shooters, competitive enthusiasts, and firearm owners who seek a higher rate of fire capability within a controlled, single-stage interface. The FRT-15L3 Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 is suitable for range training, speed shooting drills, and recreational use where rapid target transitions are practiced. It is not designed for novice shooters unfamiliar with trigger discipline, nor for applications requiring a traditional two-stage or match-grade pull. Users should have a solid understanding of trigger reset mechanics and safety protocols, as the forced-reset mode demands deliberate finger release to prevent unintentional discharge. Law enforcement and military personnel may find utility in training scenarios that simulate stress-fire conditions, though this trigger is primarily marketed to the civilian sports shooting market.
