FRT-15L3 Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger For The AR-15

If you have been looking for a trigger that bridges the gap between standard semi-automatic fire and binary systems, the FRT-15L3 Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger For The AR-15 is a piece of engineering that demands a closer look. From Rare Breed, this is not a gimmick. It is a purpose-built, single-stage trigger system that uses the shooter’s own finger mechanics to deliver a rapid reset. The “3-position” selector gives you safe, semi-auto, and the forced reset function. We have spent time behind a few of these units, and the tactile feedback is distinct. You will feel the trigger push your finger forward after each shot. It takes a minute to learn, but once you do, it changes how you think about trigger speed.

Overview

The FRT-15L3 is a drop-in, single-stage trigger designed for the AR-15 platform. Unlike a standard trigger that relies on a spring to push the trigger forward, this system uses a mechanical link that physically resets the trigger shoe forward after each cycle. This is not a modification. It is a complete replacement unit. The housing is CNC machined from billet aluminum, and the internal components are hardened steel. The forced reset function is consistent across multiple ammunition types, from 55-grain plinking loads to heavier defensive rounds. It is a direct result of Rare Breed’s focus on mechanical precision rather than electronic components. If you have ever shot a trigger that feels like it is working with you rather than against you, this is the next step.

Features & Specs

Below are the core features that define the FRT-15L3 Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger For The AR-15. Every component serves a function, from the trigger shoe geometry to the selector detents.

• Three-Position Selector: Safe, Semi-Automatic, and Forced Reset. The forced reset position is clearly marked and requires a deliberate rotation past semi. No guesswork.
• Single-Stage Pull: The trigger breaks at a consistent weight with no take-up. The reset is not a wall; it is a forward push that prepares the sear for the next round.
