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 refined evolution in trigger technology from Rare Breed. Designed for shooters who demand both precision and a distinct forced-reset cycling mechanic, this trigger delivers a deliberate two-stage pull with a third, forced-reset position that resets the trigger forward automatically after each shot. Unlike standard triggers, the FRT-15C3 requires the shooter to release the trigger fully between rounds, enabling a controlled, rapid firing cycle without modifying the firearm’s semi-automatic classification. This unit is engineered around a robust steel housing and optimized geometry to ensure consistent performance across AR-15 platforms.

Overview

The FRT-15C3 Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 is a drop-in trigger group built for users who want a tactical advantage in speed and accuracy. It combines a crisp two-stage break with a third position that forces the trigger to reset forward after the shot, requiring a deliberate release and re-pull for each round. This mechanism allows for a faster cyclic rate than a standard semi-auto trigger while maintaining legal compliance. Rare Breed has engineered this unit with a hardened steel construction and a nickel-Teflon coated trigger shoe for reduced friction and enhanced durability. The trigger is compatible with standard AR-15 lower receivers and does not require permanent modifications for installation.
