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 precision-engineered advancement in trigger technology from Rare Breed. Designed for the AR-15 platform, this trigger system introduces a three-position selector that provides a safe, semi-automatic, and forced reset fire mode. Unlike standard drop-in triggers, the FRT-15C3™ utilizes a mechanical forced-reset mechanism that returns the trigger forward under spring tension immediately after the shot cycle, enabling a faster follow-up while maintaining deliberate control. Each unit is machined from billet steel and treated with a corrosion-resistant coating for sustained reliability in adverse conditions. The frt-15c3™ two-stage (3-position) forced reset trigger for the ar-15 is a direct replacement for mil-spec trigger groups and requires no permanent modifications to the lower receiver.

Features & Specs

This trigger assembly integrates Rare Breed’s proprietary forced-reset geometry with a two-stage pull. The first stage provides a clean take-up of approximately 2.5 pounds, followed by a crisp second-stage break at approximately 4.5 pounds total pull weight. The three-position selector rotates through safe, semi-automatic, and forced-reset mode, with positive detent engagement at each stop. All internal components are constructed from 4140 steel with a nitride finish for wear resistance and lubricity. The trigger bow is widened to 0.250 inches for improved finger placement. The frt-15c3™ two-stage (3-position) forced reset trigger for the ar-15 is compatible with all standard AR-15 lower receivers using a mil-spec trigger pocket and standard hammer and trigger pins.

• Three-position selector: safe, semi-automatic, forced-reset (3-position) mode
• Two-stage pull: approximately 2.5 lb first stage, 4.5 lb total break weight
• Billet steel construction with nitride finish; includes anti-walk trigger and hammer pins

Who It’s For

The frt-15c3™ two-stage (3-position) forced reset trigger for the ar-15 is engineered for competitive shooters, advanced enthusiasts, and firearms professionals who demand precise trigger control with a higher cyclic rate. The two-stage design provides a distinct wall before break, making it suitable for precision shooting applications where trigger discipline is critical. The forced-reset mode allows trained operators to achieve rapid follow-up shots without compromising the deliberate trigger press required in semi-automatic fire. This trigger is not recommended for first-time AR-15 builders or shooters unfamiliar with forced-reset mechanics. Prior to installation, users should verify that their lower receiver meets mil-spec tolerances for trigger pocket dimensions and pin hole alignment.

• Designed for shooters with experience in controlled rapid-fire techniques
• Two-stage pull benefits target shooters and competitors requiring a defined break point
• Forced-reset mode intended for range use and training by knowledgeable operators
