FRT-15C3 Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15
The FRT-15C3 Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 by Rare Breed represents a significant evolution in forced reset trigger design. Engineered for the discerning shooter, this three-position unit delivers a distinct two-stage feel during standard semi-automatic operation, combined with the unique forced reset function in its third position. This is not a binary or full-auto trigger; it is a precision-machined component that redefines the trigger interface for AR-15 platforms.
Overview
As a direct development from Rare Breed’s established FRT platform, the FRT-15C3 Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 introduces a true two-stage geometry. In the standard safe and semi positions, the trigger operates with a crisp, predictable two-stage pull. When engaged in the forced reset position, the trigger shoe positively resets forward after each shot, requiring a deliberate release to enable the next cycle. This system provides a unique training tool for trigger discipline and recoil management.
The FRT-15C3 is designed to drop into standard AR-15 lower receivers with standard mil-spec components. It does not require proprietary hammers, springs, or bolt carriers. All engagement surfaces are hardened steel, and the housing is precision CNC machined from billet 7075-T6 aluminum.
Features & Specs
- True Three-Position Selector: Safe, Semi-Automatic (two-stage), and Forced Reset (third position). The two-stage semi position provides a distinct wall and clean break, while the third position enables the forced reset cycle.
- Precision Components: Manufactured from billet 7075-T6 aluminum housing with hardened tool steel internal sears and disconnect. All springs are heat-treated chrome silicon for consistent performance.
- Drop-In Design: No gunsmithing required. Installs directly into a standard AR-15 lower receiver. Works with standard mil-spec safety selectors and standard fire control group pins.
The FRT-15C3 Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 utilizes a patent-pending cam geometry that separates the two-stage feel from the forced reset function. The two-stage pull weight is factory set at approximately 4.5 pounds first stage and 2.5 pounds second stage. The forced reset position requires a positive forward release of the trigger shoe before the next shot can be initiated, which encourages disciplined trigger manipulation.
