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 next evolution in precision shooter-controlled cycling. Engineered by Rare Breed, this trigger system delivers an aggressive reset mechanism that demands deliberate finger control with each shot. Unlike standard triggers, the FRT-15L3 (flat) single-stage (3-position) forced reset trigger for the AR-15 uses a mechanical forced-reset function that returns the trigger shoe forward under spring tension, allowing for rapid follow-up shots while maintaining positive sear engagement. This is not a binary trigger or a full-auto conversion device; it is a legally compliant, user-activated trigger system designed for experienced shooters who understand the relationship between trigger manipulation and cyclic rate.

Overview

The FRT-15L3 builds on the proven forced-reset platform with a flat trigger shoe optimized for consistent finger placement. The three-position selector enables safe, semi-automatic, and forced-reset modes. In forced-reset mode, the trigger physically pushes your finger forward after each shot, requiring you to release and re-press for the next round. This creates a repeatable, shoot-controlled cadence that rewards proper technique. The flat shoe reduces perceived trigger travel and provides a more stable contact surface for gloved or bare hands. Each unit is CNC-machined from billet steel and hard-coat anodized for corrosion resistance.

Features & Specs

• Three-Position Selector: Safe, semi-automatic, and forced-reset positions. The forced-reset position (position 3) mechanically pushes the trigger forward after each shot, requiring the shooter to fully release and re-engage for the next cycle. This is not a continuous-fire mode; shot cadence is entirely dependent on your trigger finger.
• Flat Trigger Shoe: The FRT-15L3 (flat) single-stage (3-position) forced reset trigger for the AR-15 features a wide, flat shoe with serrated face for positive traction. This design reduces over-travel and provides a consistent pull angle regardless of hand position.
• Single-Stage Pull: Factory-set break at approximately 4.5 pounds with minimal creep. The sear engagement is crisp and predictable, allowing for accurate shot placement even during rapid strings.
• Drop-In Cassette Design: No gunsmithing required. Installs directly into standard AR-15 lower receivers with mil-spec trigger pockets. Includes anti-walk pins and pre-tensioned springs. Compatible with standard and enhanced hammer configurations.
• Material Specifications: Billet 4140 steel hammer and trigger, heat-treated to HRC 38-42. Hard-coat Type III anodized finish per MIL-A-8625. 17-4 PH stainless steel selector. All internal springs are chrome-silicon wire for extended service life.
