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 by Rare Breed represents the next evolution in forced-reset trigger technology. This unit builds upon the original FRT platform by introducing a true two-stage pull with a distinct wall and a third selector position. Designed for the AR-15 platform, this trigger delivers a forced-reset cycle that resets the trigger shoe forward after each shot, requiring a deliberate release and re-engagement for subsequent rounds. Rare Breed engineered this component for shooters who demand precision fire control combined with the unique mechanical cycling behavior of a forced-reset system. The FRT-15C3 is a direct drop-in replacement for standard AR-15 lower receivers and does not require permanent modification to the firearm.

Features & Specs

The FRT-15C3 Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 is manufactured from heat-treated steel components with a corrosion-resistant finish. It includes a two-stage trigger pull with a measured first-stage take-up followed by a crisp second-stage break. The three-position selector provides safe, semi-automatic, and forced-reset modes. Below are the core specifications for this unit.

• Manufacturer: Rare Breed; Category: Triggers; Platform: AR-15/M16-pattern lower receivers
• Trigger pull weight factory-set at 4.5 to 5.5 pounds for the two-stage break; nickel-Teflon coated trigger and hammer surfaces
• Three-position selector: safe, semi-automatic (standard single-shot per trigger pull), and forced-reset (3-position cycle)
• Drop-in design with included pins and anti-walk screws; does not require specialized gunsmithing for installation

Additional technical details include a hardened steel disconnector and sear engagement surfaces that maintain consistent reset timing. The forced-reset mechanism uses a spring-loaded cam that returns the trigger shoe forward automatically after hammer release. This FRT-15C3 Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 is compatible with mil-spec and most enhanced lower receivers.

• One-piece trigger shoe with textured flat face for consistent finger placement
