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 an advanced iteration of Rare Breed’s forced reset trigger technology, engineered for users who demand precise shot control and rapid follow-up capability. This single-stage trigger system utilizes a mechanical forced reset mechanism that returns the trigger forward immediately after each shot, enabling the shooter to manage rate of fire through trigger manipulation rather than relying on standard semi-automatic cycling. The three-position selector allows for safe, semi-automatic, and forced reset modes, providing operational flexibility across range use, training drills, and competitive shooting. Rare Breed has refined the FRT-15L3™ design with improved sear geometry and hardened steel components to ensure consistent reset timing and durability under repeated use. As a drop-in trigger assembly for AR-15 platforms, it requires no permanent modifications to the lower receiver, making installation straightforward for end users familiar with AR-15 trigger systems.

Features & Specs

The FRT-15L3™ Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 is constructed from precision-machined steel and aluminum components, with a nickel-Teflon coated trigger bow for reduced friction and corrosion resistance. The single-stage pull weight is calibrated to approximately 4.5 to 5.5 pounds, providing a consistent break without creep. The forced reset mechanism employs a cam-and-follower system that mechanically pushes the trigger forward after each hammer release, requiring the shooter to release and re-depress the trigger for subsequent shots. This design eliminates the need for binary or full-auto functionality while maintaining compliance with current regulatory interpretations.

• Three-position selector: Safe, Semi-Automatic, Forced Reset (3-position)
• Drop-in installation: No gunsmithing required for standard AR-15 lower receivers

• Finish: Nickel-Teflon coated trigger bow, black nitride on steel components
• Pull weight: Single-stage, approximately 4.5-5.5 lbs (measured at trigger shoe center)

Additional specifications include a hammer weight optimized for reliable primer strikes across various ammunition types, a redesigned disconnector that interfaces with the forced reset cam, and a reinforced trigger spring set that maintains consistent tension over extended round counts. The FRT-15L3™ trigger is compatible with mil-spec AR-15 lower receivers and does not require modifications to the bolt carrier group or buffer system.

Who It’s For

The FRT-15L3™ Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 is designed for experienced shooters who require a higher level of trigger control and cyclic rate management than standard semi-automatic triggers provide. This product is suited for competitive shooters in divisions that permit forced reset triggers, training professionals who simulate controlled burst scenarios, and firearms enthusiasts who prioritize mechanical precision in their AR-15 builds. The three-position selector makes it appropriate for users who want the option to switch between standard semi-automatic operation and forced reset mode depending on the drill or range rules. Due to the mechanical complexity and specific handling requirements of forced reset triggers, this product is recommended for shooters with demonstrated proficiency in AR-15 platform manipulation and a thorough understanding of trigger discipline.

• Ideal for competitive shooting (3-Gun, tactical rifle matches where permitted)
• Suitable for training drills emphasizing split times and trigger reset timing
• Designed for shooters who understand forced reset trigger operation and safety
