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 a refined evolution in forced-reset trigger design from Rare Breed. Engineered for shooters who demand rapid follow-up shots with mechanical consistency, this flat-faced trigger delivers a distinct three-position selector function: Safe, Semi-Automatic, and Forced Reset. Unlike binary or full-auto systems, the FRT-15L3 requires the shooter to maintain forward pressure on the trigger after each shot, mechanically resetting the sear to enable the next round. This design provides a unique shooting experience that combines speed with deliberate control, all within a drop-in cassette housing for straightforward installation.
Overview
The FRT-15L3 (Flat) Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 is built for users who want to maximize cyclic rate without sacrificing the manual discipline required by forced-reset mechanics. Rare Breed has optimized the L3 variant with a flat trigger shoe, reducing finger slip and providing a consistent surface for high-speed manipulation. The three-position selector allows the shooter to operate in standard semi-automatic mode or engage the forced-reset position, which mechanically drives the trigger forward after each shot. This system is designed exclusively for AR-15 platforms with standard mil-spec lower receivers and bolt carrier groups.
Features & Specs
- Three-position selector: Safe, Semi-Automatic, and Forced Reset (FR) mode, enabling rapid follow-up shots through mechanical sear reset
- Flat trigger shoe with a single-stage pull weight of approximately 3.5-4.5 pounds, providing a crisp break and minimal overtravel
- Drop-in cassette design for direct installation into standard AR-15 lower receivers; no gunsmithing or permanent modifications required
Additional specifications include a 7075-T6 aluminum housing with a hard-coat anodized finish, a nickel-Teflon coated trigger and hammer for reduced friction, and a stainless steel sear engagement surface engineered for consistent forced-reset cycling. The FRT-15L3 is compatible with all standard AR-15 bolt carrier groups and does not require proprietary buffers or springs. Rare Breed includes all necessary pins and installation hardware with each unit.
Who It Is For
The FRT-15L3 (Flat) Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 is intended for experienced shooters, competitive enthusiasts, and firearms collectors who understand forced-reset mechanics and want to explore a higher rate of fire in a legal, mechanically driven format. This trigger is not recommended for novice shooters or those unfamiliar with maintaining forward trigger pressure during a firing sequence. It is ideal for range use, training drills focused on recoil management and trigger discipline, and anyone seeking a flat-faced trigger with a distinct, repeatable reset profile. Law enforcement and military personnel may also find utility in training applications that simulate rapid engagement scenarios.
