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 precision-engineered advancement in forced reset trigger technology by Rare Breed. This third-generation design refines the original FRT platform with a dedicated three-position selector, offering users a distinct safe, semi-automatic, and forced-reset mode. Constructed from billet-machined 7075-T6 aluminum and hardened steel components, the FRT-15L3 trigger assembly is built to withstand high-round-count use while maintaining consistent reset characteristics. Each unit is assembled and tested at Rare Breed’s U.S. facility, ensuring that the FRT-15L3 Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 meets the manufacturer’s published pull weight specifications and dimensional tolerances.

Features & Specs

The FRT-15L3 trigger uses a single-stage, non-adjustable sear engagement with a factory-set pull weight of approximately 4.5 to 5.5 pounds. The three-position selector provides positive detent indexing for safe, semi, and forced-reset positions. Below are the core specification details:

• Manufacturer: Rare Breed; Category: Triggers; Platform: AR-15/M16-pattern lower receivers with standard trigger pocket dimensions.
• Materials: 7075-T6 aluminum housing and selector; heat-treated 4140 steel hammer, sear, and disconnect components with QPQ corrosion-resistant finish.
• Installation: Drop-in design with pre-installed trigger, hammer, and disconnect assembly; includes anti-walk trigger and hammer pins with KNS Precision-style retaining plates.

Who It’s For

This trigger is intended for experienced AR-15 users who require a mechanically repeatable forced-reset cycling system for range and training applications. The FRT-15L3 Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 is designed for shooters who understand the operational principles of forced-reset triggers and can verify compatibility with their specific upper receiver, bolt carrier group, and buffer system. Because the FRT-15L3 uses a three-position selector, it integrates with standard AR-15 fire control selectors without requiring modification to the lower receiver. It is not designed for competition use governed by single-shot or semi-automatic-only rules. Users should confirm that their barrel profile, gas system length, and ammunition selection provide sufficient carrier velocity to cycle the forced-reset mode reliably.

• Suits shooters who train with high-round-count sessions and want a consistent, non-adjustable single-stage break.
• Recommended for users who have prior experience with forced-reset trigger mechanics and understand safe handling protocols for three-position selectors.
• Not recommended for first-time AR-15 builders or those who require a two-stage trigger for precision marksmanship.
