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 deliberate evolution in trigger system design from Rare Breed. This unit offers three selectable positions: safe, semi-automatic, and forced-reset mode. Unlike standard single-stage forced reset triggers, the FRT-15C3 introduces a two-stage break that provides a defined wall and a crisp, predictable pull weight before the forced reset cycle engages. The mechanical design uses a sear reset that is physically driven by the bolt carrier, ensuring consistent timing without relying on spring tension alone. This is a drop-in assembly that fits standard AR-15 lower receivers, requiring no permanent modification to the firearm. The FRT-15C3 Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 ships with all necessary pins and springs for installation.

The FRT-15C3 Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 is built to operate within standard AR-15 bolt carrier group travel distances.

All internal components are machined from billet steel and coated to MIL-SPEC standards.

Who It’s For

This trigger is designed for AR-15 owners who want a forced reset trigger with a two-stage pull characteristic. It suits shooters who prefer a defined wall before the break rather than a rolling, single-stage take-up. The FRT-15C3 Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 is appropriate for range use, competitive shooting events that permit forced reset mechanisms, and for collectors of advanced trigger systems. It is not recommended for duty, defensive, or hunting applications due to the mechanical reset timing requirements. Users should have basic familiarity with AR-15 disassembly and trigger group installation. The FRT-15C3 Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 requires no gunsmithing for installation, but users must verify compatibility with their specific lower receiver and bolt carrier group combination prior to purchase.
