This is the FRT-15L3 (Flat) Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15, engineered by Rare Breed for shooters who demand precision and speed. Designed as a direct upgrade for standard AR-15 lower receivers, this trigger system delivers a unique forced-reset action that allows for rapid follow-up shots without compromising control.

Overview
The FRT-15L3 (Flat) Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 represents a significant advancement in trigger technology. Rare Breed has refined the forced-reset mechanism to provide a distinct three-position selector: Safe, Semi-Automatic, and Forced Reset. In the forced reset position, the trigger automatically resets forward after each shot, enabling a high cyclic rate while maintaining manual control over every round. The flat-faced trigger shoe reduces finger fatigue and improves accuracy by offering a consistent contact point. This unit is drop-in compatible with mil-spec AR-15 lower receivers and requires no permanent modifications.
Features & Specs
- Three-Position Selector: Includes Safe (position 1), Semi-Automatic (position 2), and Forced Reset (position 3) modes. In forced reset, the trigger must be released and pulled for each discharge, but the reset is immediate and positive.
- Flat Trigger Shoe: Machined from billet aluminum with a smooth, non-slip surface. The flat design provides a wider, more stable finger placement for consistent pull weight and reduced over-travel.
- Drop-In Installation: Uses a standard cassette-style housing with pre-installed pins. No trigger guard modification or special tools required. Compatible with all mil-spec AR-15 platforms, including DI and piston systems.
Who It’s For
This trigger is specifically designed for experienced AR-15 operators, competitive shooters, and firearms enthusiasts who understand advanced trigger systems. It is ideal for those participating in action shooting sports, such as USPSA or 3-Gun, where rapid, controlled fire is advantageous. The forced-reset function demands a disciplined shooting technique, making it most suitable for users who have mastered fundamental trigger control. It is not recommended for novice shooters or those unfamiliar with forced-reset mechanisms. Law enforcement and tactical professionals may also benefit from the enhanced split times under controlled training environments.
