If you have been searching for a trigger that bridges the gap between mil-spec reliability and advanced performance, the Rare Breed FRT-15L3 is worth a close look. This is the FRT-15L3™ Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15, designed for shooters who want a distinct, predictable reset without the complexity of binary systems. It is a direct descendant of the original forced reset concept, refined for smoother operation and increased durability. Whether you are building a new rifle or upgrading an existing one, this trigger offers a unique shooting experience that rewards practice and familiarity.
Overview
The Rare Breed FRT-15L3 is a single-stage, three-position trigger that uses a mechanical forced reset function. In the standard semi-auto position, it behaves like a crisp single-stage trigger with a clean break. In the third position, the reset is mechanically forced forward after each shot, allowing for rapid follow-ups that are controlled entirely by your trigger finger. This is not a full-auto device; it requires deliberate, consistent pull and release. The design is entirely mechanical, relying on no springs or batteries, and it is built to AR-15 mil-spec dimensions for drop-in installation. For experienced AR-15 builders, the FRT-15L3™ Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 represents a focused tool for controlled, high-speed shooting.

Who It’s For
This trigger is built for the shooter who understands manual of arms and wants to push their speed without sacrificing control.
