FRT-15C3™ Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15

Overview

The FRT-15C3™ Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 represents a precision-engineered advancement in trigger system design from Rare Breed. Built for the discerning AR-15 owner, this unit combines a crisp two-stage break with the controlled forced reset function. The FRT-15C3™ Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 allows the shooter to select between standard semi-automatic fire, a forced reset binary-like function, and a safe position, all within a single drop-in cassette. Unlike traditional triggers, the forced reset mechanism physically resets the trigger forward after each shot, enabling faster, more consistent follow-up shots without altering the firearm’s semi-automatic classification. Each unit is machined from billet steel and hardcoat anodized for durability in high-round-count applications.

Features & Specs

The FRT-15C3™ Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 is manufactured by Rare Breed and falls under the Triggers category. This unit ships as a complete drop-in assembly with no additional parts required. The three-position selector offers safe, semi-automatic, and forced reset modes, with a tactile detent for positive engagement. The two-stage pull provides a distinct take-up wall followed by a crisp 4.5-pound break. The forced reset function uses a spring-loaded ramp that pushes the trigger shoe forward after each discharge, allowing the shooter to ride the reset for rapid fire while maintaining positive control.

• Drop-in cassette design: No gunsmithing required; fits standard AR-15 lower receivers (MIL-SPEC).
• Three-position selector: Safe, semi-automatic, and forced reset modes with audible and tactile detents.
• Two-stage trigger pull: 4.5-pound break weight with a clean, predictable wall and minimal overtravel.

Who It’s For

This FRT-15C3™ Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 is designed for experienced shooters who require precise control over their rate of fire in competitive shooting, training drills, or advanced recreational use. It suits shooters who understand trigger mechanics and want a system that provides both a standard two-stage pull for precision shots and a forced reset mode for rapid, controlled strings. The FRT-15C3™ Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 is not intended for novice users or those unfamiliar with forced reset operation. It is best suited for AR-15 platforms used in range practice, three-gun competitions, or defensive training where split times matter. The trigger is compatible with most aftermarket bolt carrier groups, but users should verify clearances with non-standard parts.

• Competition shooters needing rapid follow-up shots without sacrificing trigger quality.
• Advanced enthusiasts who want a single trigger that performs in both precision and rapid-fire roles.
• Trainers and instructors demonstrating controlled pairs or failure drills.
• Owners of legal semi-automatic AR-15s seeking enhanced mechanical performance.
