FRT-15L3™ Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15

When you are building or upgrading an AR-15 platform for serious range work, the trigger is the interface that makes or breaks your consistency. The FRT-15L3™ single-stage (3-position) forced reset trigger for the AR-15 from Rare Breed is a purpose-built component designed for shooters who want a crisp, repeatable pull with a mechanical forced-reset function. This isn’t a gimmick; it is a precision tool that gives you a distinct shooting experience. We have handled this unit extensively, and it delivers exactly what it promises: a reliable three-position selector with a single-stage break that resets under forward pressure. For California customers, understanding how this trigger operates within state regulations is critical, and we will cover that below.

Overview

The FRT-15L3™ single-stage (3-position) forced reset trigger for the AR-15 is the latest evolution from Rare Breed, a manufacturer known for pushing the boundaries of trigger design. This drop-in unit replaces your stock trigger group and uses a patented forced-reset mechanism. In simple terms, after each shot, the trigger physically pushes your finger forward, resetting the sear for the next cycle. It is a single-stage design with a clean, predictable break, and the three-position safety selector gives you safe, semi-automatic, and the forced-reset mode. This trigger is machined from billet steel and tested for thousands of cycles before it leaves the factory. If you are looking for a trigger that changes how you interact with your rifle, this is it.

Features & Specs

This FRT-15L3™ single-stage (3-position) forced reset trigger for the AR-15 is built for durability and performance. Here is what you get out of the box:

• Three-position selector: safe, semi-automatic, and forced-reset mode. Each position is tactile and audible.
• Single-stage pull weight of approximately 4.5 to 5.5 pounds, with a crisp break and minimal overtravel.
• Drop-in design: no gunsmithing required. Install in standard mil-spec lower receivers with standard pins.
• Hardened tool steel components with a corrosion-resistant finish for long service life.
• Includes anti-walk trigger and hammer pins to prevent movement during high-round-count sessions.

Rare Breed tests every unit for function and safety. The forced-reset mechanism is mechanical and does not rely on springs or external power. It works with standard AR-15 bolt carrier groups and buffer systems.

Who It’s For

This trigger is for the experienced shooter who understands the mechanics of their rifle and wants a platform that rewards trigger discipline. It is best suited for range use, competition shooting, and training drills where split times matter. The FRT-15L3™ single-stage (3-position) forced reset trigger for the AR-15 is not recommended for beginners or for those who have not yet mastered basic trigger control. Because the forced-reset requires you to maintain forward pressure on the trigger, it demands a consistent grip and follow-through. If you are a California resident who regularly shoots at outdoor ranges or participates in action shooting sports, this trigger will give you a distinct mechanical advantage without modifying the semi-automatic function of your rifle.

Shipping & FFL

We ship this trigger directly to your door in California. It is considered a firearm component and not a regulated serialized part, so no FFL transfer is required for the trigger itself. However, it is your responsibility to ensure compliance with all local and state laws regarding trigger modifications and forced-reset devices. California law is specific about what constitutes a “semiautomatic” firearm, and installing this trigger may affect that classification. We strongly recommend consulting a California-licensed firearms attorney or your local sheriff’s department before purchase. FFL Transfer Disclaimer: This product does not require an FFL transfer for shipment, but any installation that modifies the firing function of your rifle must comply with California Penal Code sections governing assault weapons and trigger mechanisms. We assume no liability for improper use or installation. By purchasing, you confirm you are legally allowed to possess this item in your jurisdiction.
