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 trigger system design from Rare Breed. Engineered for shooters who demand precise control and rapid follow-up shots, this forced reset trigger delivers a distinct mechanical advantage without compromising safety or reliability. Each unit is precision-machined from billet steel and aircraft-grade aluminum, ensuring consistent performance under high-round-count conditions. The flat face profile provides a consistent finger placement index, reducing shot-to-shot variance during rapid strings.
Overview
The FRT-15L3 (Flat) Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 is a three-position select-fire trigger system that utilizes a forced reset mechanism. This design physically returns the trigger forward after each shot, enabling the shooter to achieve high cyclic rates while maintaining positive control. The selector switch offers Safe, Semi-Automatic, and a third position that activates the forced reset function. Unlike binary or full-auto triggers, the FRT-15L3 requires the shooter to release and re-pull the trigger for each round, providing a deliberate shooting cadence. Rare Breed has refined the geometry of the L3 to reduce over-travel and reset distance compared to previous generations.

Who It’s For

It is suitable for competitive shooters in divisions that permit forced reset triggers, as well as enthusiasts who train specifically for controlled rapid fire. The FRT-15L3 is not recommended for general-purpose defensive carbines due to the deliberate manual cycling required in forced reset mode.
