FRT-15C3 Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15

If you have been following the forced reset trigger market, you already know the name Rare Breed. The FRT-15C3 Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 is the latest evolution of their proven platform. This is not a gimmick. It is a purpose-built, drop-in trigger group that gives the shooter a genuine three-position selector capability while maintaining the familiar manual of arms. We have spent time behind this unit, and it delivers exactly what the spec sheet promises: a crisp two-stage feel on the first pull, followed by a positive forced reset cycle that keeps your finger moving. This is a shooter’s tool, not a novelty.

Overview

The FRT-15C3 Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 replaces your standard mil-spec trigger group with a complete cassette-style unit. It uses a three-position selector: Safe, Semi-Automatic, and a third position that enables the forced reset function. In the third position, the trigger resets forward under spring tension after each shot, requiring the shooter to release the trigger fully before the next round can fire. This creates a repeatable, consistent cycle that allows for rapid, controlled follow-up shots. The two-stage design gives you a distinct take-up wall before the break, which is a significant improvement over single-stage forced reset triggers. It is a direct drop-in install with no filing or fitting required.

Features & Specs

• Three-Position Selector: Safe, Semi, and Forced Reset positions clearly marked and tactile. The selector moves with positive detent feel. No ambiguity.
• Two-Stage Pull: First stage take-up is smooth and predictable. Second stage break is clean at approximately 4.5 to 5 pounds. This is a real two-stage, not a marketing claim.
• Drop-In Cassette Design: No pins to drift, no springs to lose. Install in minutes with a standard AR-15 lower receiver. Includes anti-walk pins.

The FRT-15C3 Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 is manufactured entirely in the United States by Rare Breed. The housing is CNC-machined from billet aluminum with a hardcoat anodized finish. The engagement surfaces are precision-ground and polished. This is not a printed or cast part. It is built to run.

Who It’s For

This trigger is for the experienced AR-15 owner who understands the mechanical function of their rifle. It is not a training wheel. The FRT-15C3 Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 appeals to competitive shooters who want to increase their split times without sacrificing accuracy, as well as collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate innovative engineering. If you are comfortable with a standard AR-15 safety selector and have a solid grasp of trigger discipline, this unit will feel intuitive. If you are new to the platform, we recommend spending time with a standard trigger first. This is a performance upgrade for shooters who know what they want.
