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

The FRT-15L3 Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 from Rare Breed represents a refined evolution in trigger system design. Engineered for the AR-15 platform, this component offers a distinct mechanical function that sets it apart from standard drop-in triggers. As a single-stage, forced-reset design, the FRT-15L3 provides three selectable positions, allowing the operator to control the trigger’s behavior with precision. Rare Breed has focused on durability and consistent performance, making this unit a direct replacement for mil-spec triggers without requiring permanent modifications to the lower receiver. For shooters seeking a performance-oriented trigger that operates on a different mechanical principle, the FRT-15L3 Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 delivers a reliable, repeatable experience.

Overview

The FRT-15L3 is a drop-in, single-stage trigger system that utilizes a forced-reset mechanism. In the standard firing sequence, the trigger must be released forward to reset before the next shot can be fired. This system offers three distinct positions: Safe, Semi-Automatic, and the forced-reset function. The trigger is constructed from heat-treated steel components and is designed to withstand high-round-count use. It is a direct mechanical replacement for standard AR-15 trigger groups, requiring no specialized tools for installation. The FRT-15L3 Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 is a purpose-built component for those who understand and require its specific operational characteristics.

Features & Specs

The FRT-15L3 incorporates several design elements that distinguish it from conventional triggers. Below is a breakdown of its key specifications and construction features.

Who It Is For

This trigger is designed for experienced AR-15 owners who understand the mechanics of forced-reset systems and operate within applicable laws. It is not a standard single-stage or two-stage trigger, and its function requires the user to be familiar with the three-position selector and the specific reset behavior. The FRT-15L3 Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 is intended for use in legal, range-based applications where the operator has full control over the firing sequence. It is not recommended for novices or for use in competition formats that prohibit trigger modifications. If you require a standard semi-automatic trigger for general use, this product may not suit your needs. For those who specifically seek the mechanical characteristics of a forced-reset system, the FRT-15L3 is a direct, drop-in solution.
