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 from Rare Breed represents the next evolution in forced reset trigger technology. Engineered for the discerning shooter who demands performance without compromise, this flat-faced trigger offers a distinct three-position selector configuration that delivers rapid, controlled reset capabilities. Whether you are upgrading a competition rifle or building a purpose-driven platform, the FRT-15L3 is a precision component designed to meet the highest standards of reliability and repeatability.
Overview
Rare Breed has refined the forced reset trigger system with the FRT-15L3, a single-stage unit that provides a unique three-position safety selector: Safe, Semi-Automatic, and Forced Reset. The flat trigger shoe offers a consistent, non-slip surface for positive finger placement, reducing pull variation during rapid fire. This trigger is a direct drop-in replacement for standard AR-15 lower receivers, requiring no permanent modifications to your firearm. Each unit is manufactured from heat-treated steel and undergoes rigorous quality inspection to ensure consistent performance under demanding conditions.
The FRT-15L3 (Flat) Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 is engineered to reset the trigger forward after each shot, allowing the shooter to maintain a firing rhythm that is limited only by their own ability to manipulate the trigger. This mechanical advantage is achieved through a carefully designed cam and sear interface that does not rely on springs alone for reset force.
