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

The FRT-15C3 Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 represents a significant evolution in forced reset trigger technology from Rare Breed. Engineered for shooters who demand precision and speed, this trigger introduces a deliberate two-stage pull before the forced reset mechanism engages. It offers three selectable positions: Safe, Semi-Automatic, and Forced Reset. This is not a binary trigger or a full-auto device; it is a mechanical trigger system that requires the shooter to manage the reset cycle through trigger control. The FRT-15C3 Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 is designed for legal use in compliant AR-15 platforms.

Overview

The FRT-15C3 redefines the shooting experience by combining a crisp two-stage trigger pull with a forced reset function. In the forced reset position, the trigger mechanism physically pushes the trigger forward after each shot, requiring the shooter to intentionally release and re-apply pressure. This creates a unique cyclic rate that is faster than traditional semi-automatic fire but remains entirely shooter-dependent. Rare Breed has refined the internal geometry to reduce wear and improve consistency over previous generations. The FRT-15C3 Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 is drop-in compatible with standard AR-15 lower receivers using mil-spec trigger pocket dimensions.

Features & Specs

• Three-Position Selector: Safe, Semi-Automatic, and Forced Reset. The safe position blocks trigger movement. Semi-automatic delivers a standard two-stage pull. Forced Reset activates the mechanical reset cycle.
• Two-Stage Pull: A defined take-up stage followed by a clean break. The forced reset function only engages when the selector is in the third position. This provides a distinct tactile feel compared to single-stage forced reset triggers.
• Drop-In Design: No gunsmithing required for installation in mil-spec AR-15 lower receivers. Includes housing unit, trigger shoe, hammer, selector, and all necessary pins and springs.
• Material: Heat-treated steel components with a corrosion-resistant finish. The hammer and trigger are CNC machined for precise engagement surfaces.
• Weight: Approximately 3.5 oz complete assembly. Pull weight is factory set at approximately 4.5 lbs in semi-automatic mode and 6.5 lbs in forced reset mode.

Who It’s For

This trigger is intended for experienced AR-15 owners who understand the legal and mechanical distinctions between forced reset, binary, and full-auto systems. It is suitable for competitive shooters in divisions that permit forced reset triggers, as well as enthusiasts seeking a training tool that simulates a faster cadence while maintaining deliberate trigger discipline. The FRT-15C3 Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 is not recommended for first-time builders or those unfamiliar with trigger maintenance. It requires the shooter to actively manage the reset cycle, making it a focused tool for controlled fire rather than a drop-in upgrade for casual range use.
