FRT-15L3™ (Flat) Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15

Designed for shooters who demand consistent performance under rapid fire, the FRT-15L3™ (Flat) Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 delivers a deliberate reset mechanism engineered for reliability. This component from Rare Breed represents a refined evolution of the forced reset platform, offering a flat trigger shoe and three distinct selector positions: Safe, Semi-Automatic, and Forced Reset. Built to withstand high-round-count sessions, this trigger is a direct drop-in upgrade for standard AR-15 lower receivers.

Overview

The FRT-15L3™ (Flat) Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 operates on a mechanical forced-reset principle, where the trigger physically returns forward after each shot, requiring a deliberate release before the next engagement. This design promotes consistent trigger manipulation without relying on internal springs for reset, reducing the potential for hammer follow. The flat trigger face provides a consistent finger placement reference, which is particularly beneficial during rapid strings of fire. Rare Breed has engineered this unit to function with standard mil-spec AR-15 fire control group dimensions.

Features & Specs

• Three-position selector: Safe, Semi-Automatic, and Forced Reset (FRT) mode. The FRT mode requires the shooter to fully release the trigger after each shot before the next round can be fired, providing a mechanical discipline point.
• Flat trigger shoe with a smooth, non-slip surface. The flat profile reduces finger fatigue during extended range sessions and allows for a more consistent pull angle compared to curved triggers.
• Single-stage design with a crisp break. The trigger pull weight is factory-set to approximately 4.5-5.5 pounds, offering a balance between speed and control without unnecessary creep.
• Drop-in installation: No gunsmithing required. The unit replaces the existing hammer, trigger, disconnector, and selector. All necessary pins and springs are included in the package.
• Manufactured from heat-treated steel with a corrosion-resistant black nitride finish. The flat trigger shoe is machined from 7075-T6 aluminum for weight reduction and durability.
• Compatibility: Fits AR-15 platforms with standard mil-spec pocket dimensions. Does not require modification to the lower receiver or bolt carrier group.

Who It’s For

This trigger is intended for experienced AR-15 owners in Alabama who prioritize mechanical consistency over speed alone. It is suitable for competitive shooters in disciplines that allow forced reset triggers, as well as for hobbyists who train for controlled rapid fire on private ranges or club facilities. The FRT-15L3™ (Flat) Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 is not a binary trigger; it requires the shooter to manage the reset cycle manually, making it a training tool for trigger discipline. It is also appropriate for collectors and builders who want a drop-in component with a distinct operating feel. This product is not designed for law enforcement or military duty use and should only be installed in firearms used in legal contexts.
