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 forced reset trigger technology from Rare Breed. This third-generation flat bow variant is engineered for shooters who demand precise, repeatable shot cycles without modifying the standard lower receiver geometry. Designed as a direct replacement for mil-spec trigger groups, the FRT-15L3 integrates a three-position selector that delivers a standard safe setting, a semi-automatic fire position, and a forced reset mode for rapid reset capabilities. Each unit is CNC-machined from billet steel and undergoes individual quality assurance testing to ensure consistent sear engagement and reliable hammer release.

Overview

Rare Breed has refined the forced reset platform with the FRT-15L3 (Flat) Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15, focusing on mechanical simplicity and shooter control. Unlike traditional binary or burst systems, this trigger uses a mechanical reset that forces the trigger shoe forward after each shot, allowing the shooter to maintain a consistent pull weight across all firing modes. The flat bow profile reduces finger travel and provides a more tactile reference point for rapid follow-up shots. This trigger is designed for use in standard AR-15 pattern rifles and carbines without requiring permanent modifications to the firearm.

Features & Specs

• Three-position selector: safe, semi-automatic, and forced reset mode (FRT). The forced reset position utilizes a mechanical linkage that physically returns the trigger to the forward position after each hammer fall, enabling a faster cyclic rate limited only by the shooter’s trigger finger.
• Flat bow trigger shoe with a single-stage pull weight of approximately 4.5 to 5.5 pounds. The flat profile reduces over-travel and provides a consistent contact surface for repeatable finger placement across all three positions.
• Constructed from heat-treated 8620 steel components with a phosphate finish for corrosion resistance. Includes a hardened hammer, disconnect, trigger, and sear assembly that meets or exceeds mil-spec durability standards.

• Drop-in installation into standard AR-15 lower receivers with no gunsmithing required. Compatible with mil-spec safety selector holes and trigger pin diameters (0.154 inch).
• Manufactured by Rare Breed in the United States. Each unit is serialized and tested for function before shipment. The forced reset mechanism operates independently of buffer weight, spring tension, or gas system configuration.
• Designed for use with standard AR-15 bolt carrier groups and upper receiver assemblies. Does not require specialized ammunition or modifications to the bolt carrier.
