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 trigger system engineering from Rare Breed. This unit replaces the standard curved shoe with a flat-faced trigger blade, offering a distinct change in finger placement and pull geometry. As a three-position safety selector component, the FRT-15L3 integrates forced reset functionality, requiring the shooter to maintain forward pressure on the trigger after each shot to reset the mechanism, producing a rapid cycling rate while remaining a single-stage design. This trigger is engineered for AR-15 platform rifles chambered in standard calibers and is built to meet the demanding specifications of competition shooters and high-volume users.

Overview

The FRT-15L3 (Flat) Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 is a drop-in replacement trigger group manufactured by Rare Breed, a company recognized for precision firearm components. Unlike traditional binary or full-automatic triggers, the forced reset system in this unit relies entirely on shooter input: the trigger must be released forward by the shooter’s finger between shots, preventing uncontrolled fire while enabling high-speed follow-up shots. The flat trigger shoe provides a consistent, non-slip contact surface, reducing finger fatigue during extended sessions. This model includes a three-position selector (Safe, Semi, Forced Reset) allowing the user to switch between standard semi-automatic operation and forced reset mode without tools.

Additional performance specifications: The FRT-15L3 (Flat) Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 is designed for use with standard AR-15 bolt carrier groups and buffer systems. The forced reset function operates reliably with 5.56 NATO / .223 Remington ammunition. The trigger does not require lubrication beyond normal firearm maintenance. Cycle rate in forced reset mode is dependent on shooter technique and recoil management.

Who It’s For

This trigger is intended for experienced AR-15 users who demand precise control over shot timing and cyclic rate. It is suitable for competitive shooting disciplines where rapid follow-up shots are advantageous, such as USPSA, 3-Gun, or tactical rifle matches. The FRT-15L3 (Flat) Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 is also appropriate for training environments where shooters wish to practice trigger reset management and recoil control under time pressure. Law enforcement and civilian shooters who operate in controlled ranges or private property where forced reset triggers are permitted will find this component useful. This product is not designed for military use, nor is it intended for users unfamiliar with manual safety selector positions and trigger discipline.
