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 an evolution in trigger system engineering. Manufactured by Rare Breed, this trigger combines the familiar two-stage break with a forced reset mechanism. Unlike standard drop-in triggers, the FRT-15C3 allows the shooter to select between three distinct positions: safe, semi-automatic, and forced reset. The forced reset function returns the trigger forward under spring tension after each shot, enabling a faster follow-up without modifying the rifle’s cyclic rate. This trigger is designed for users who want a controlled, repeatable pull weight in a configuration that meets existing ATF guidance.

Features & Specs

The FRT-15C3 Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 is built from heat-treated steel and aircraft-grade aluminum, ensuring durability under repeated use. The two-stage design provides a defined wall before break, which aids precision shooting. The third position introduces the forced reset feature: the trigger resets forward automatically after each shot, requiring the shooter to release and re-engage. This system does not convert the rifle to full-auto; it changes how the trigger resets, not the firing cycle. Key specifications include:

• Three-position selector: Safe, semi-automatic, and forced reset (FRT mode)
• Two-stage pull with a crisp break and short overtravel
• Drop-in design compatible with standard AR-15 lower receivers (mil-spec pocket)
• Manufactured by Rare Breed, category: Triggers
• Includes anti-walk pins and installation tool

Additional features of this FRT-15C3 Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15:

• Heat-treated steel hammer and sear for consistent engagement
• Nickel Teflon-coated trigger and hammer for reduced friction
• User-serviceable design with replaceable springs

Who It’s For

This trigger is intended for experienced AR-15 owners who understand the mechanical operation of their platform. The FRT-15C3 Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 suits competition shooters who want a two-stage pull for precision stages and a faster reset for speed stages. It also appeals to enthusiasts who train for controlled pairs and rapid follow-up shots. Because the forced reset feature requires deliberate trigger finger discipline, it is not recommended for new shooters or those unfamiliar with trigger reset mechanics. This product is designed for lawful use only and must be installed by a competent gunsmith or knowledgeable end user.

• AR-15 owners seeking a two-stage trigger with an alternative reset function
• Shooters who understand manual safety and trigger discipline
• Users who want the ability to switch between standard semi-auto and forced reset modes
