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

The FRT-15L3 (Flat) Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 represents the latest evolution in forced reset trigger technology from Rare Breed. This flat-faced, single-stage unit is engineered for shooters who demand a consistent, repeatable reset mechanism without the complexity of binary or full-auto systems. The FRT-15L3 utilizes a proprietary cam and sear geometry that forces the trigger forward after each shot, enabling rapid follow-up shots while maintaining semi-automatic compliance. Each unit is machined from heat-treated billet steel and finished with a corrosion-resistant coating for duty-grade reliability in adverse conditions.

Overview

The FRT-15L3 (Flat) Single-Stage (3-Position) forced reset trigger for the AR-15 is a drop-in, cassette-style trigger system that replaces your standard mil-spec fire control group. It features three distinct selector positions: Safe, Semi-Automatic, and Forced Reset. In the forced reset position, the trigger blade physically resets forward immediately after the bolt carrier group cycles, requiring the shooter to release and re-engage the trigger for each round. This design delivers an aggressive cyclic rate that maximizes the AR-15 platform’s mechanical potential while operating strictly within NFA guidelines. The flat trigger shoe reduces finger slip and provides a consistent pull weight of approximately 4.5 to 5.5 pounds across all positions.

Features & Specs

• Three-position selector: Safe, Semi-Automatic, and Forced Reset mode with audible and tactile detent feedback at each stop
• Flat trigger shoe with serrated face for consistent finger placement and reduced lateral movement during rapid fire
• Drop-in cassette design with pre-assembled hammer, trigger, and disconnector; no gunsmithing or trigger job required for installation
• Heat-treated billet steel construction with black nitride finish for corrosion resistance and extended service life
• Compatible with standard AR-15 lower receivers; includes anti-walk pins and installation tool

The FRT-15L3 (Flat) Single-Stage (3-Position) forced reset trigger for the AR-15 is manufactured to Rare Breed’s exacting tolerances. The hammer spring is optimized for reliable primer ignition with military and commercial ammunition. The trigger’s internal components are precision-ground and polished to reduce friction and ensure consistent sear engagement. Each unit is test-fired before packaging to verify function across all three positions.

Who It’s For

This trigger is designed for competitive shooters, firearms enthusiasts, and AR-15 builders who want to push their platform’s rate of fire beyond standard semi-automatic limitations without modifying the receiver or bolt carrier. It is not a training tool for novice shooters; it requires familiarity with manual of arms and disciplined trigger control. The FRT-15L3 is suitable for range use, timed competitions that allow forced reset triggers, and collectors of advanced fire control systems. It is not intended for duty, self-defense, or law enforcement applications due to the specific mechanical characteristics of forced reset operation. Users must verify local and state laws regarding forced reset triggers before purchase.
