Description
Enhanced Reset Trigger – Rare Breed FRT 15 E3
If you have been looking for a trigger that delivers a genuinely different shooting experience, the enhanced reset trigger – Rare Breed FRT 15 E3 is a component that demands your attention. This is not a standard drop-in unit. It is a purpose-built, forced-reset trigger system that leverages the firearm’s own recoil and bolt carrier group movement to reset the trigger face forward. The result is a rapid, controlled cadence that feels intuitive once you understand the mechanics. We have spent time behind the bench with this unit, and it stands out for its crisp break and aggressive, positive reset that gives the shooter immediate tactile feedback. Whether you are building a competition upper or simply want to explore the limits of your platform’s cycling speed, this trigger is engineered for repeatable, high-speed operation without sacrificing the safety features you expect from a quality fire control group.
Overview
The Rare Breed FRT 15 E3 is the third evolution of the forced-reset trigger concept, refined for improved reliability and smoother operation across a wider range of ammunition. Unlike a binary trigger that fires on both pull and release, this system resets the trigger shoe forward after each shot, allowing the shooter to stage a rapid follow-up trigger pull. The enhanced reset trigger – Rare Breed FRT 15 E3 is built around a CNC-machined, heat-treated steel housing and uses a proprietary sear and disconnector geometry. It is designed for direct installation into standard AR-15 lower receivers with standard mil-spec fire control pockets, though we always recommend checking your specific lower for any tolerance variations. The trigger shoe itself is a flat, textured design that provides a consistent finger placement shot after shot.
Features & Specs
The engineering behind this trigger focuses on durability and predictable function. The enhanced reset trigger – Rare Breed FRT 15 E3 uses a reinforced hammer and a precisely ground sear engagement surface to maintain consistent pull weight over thousands of rounds. The trigger pull weight is set at a factory-tuned level that balances speed with a deliberate, clean break. You will notice the reset is not just audible but strongly tactile, which is essential for maintaining your rhythm during rapid strings. Here are the key specifications and features:
- CNC-machined 4140 steel trigger housing and internal components, with a QPQ corrosion-resistant finish for long service life
- Flat, serrated trigger shoe with a 0.25-inch wide face for consistent finger placement and reduced slip
- Positive forced-reset mechanism that requires the bolt carrier to travel fully rearward and return to battery before the trigger can be pulled again
- Drop-in design with included anti-walk pins for secure installation in most AR-15 lower receivers
- Trigger pull weight approximately 4.5 to 5.5 pounds, measured at the center of the shoe
Who It’s For
The enhanced reset trigger – Rare Breed FRT 15 E3 is not a casual plinker’s upgrade. It is built for shooters who spend time behind the rifle and want to push their split times lower without relying on full-auto fire. If you compete in run-and-gun style matches, shoot steel challenges, or simply enjoy the mechanical challenge of managing a fast reset, this trigger will reward your practice. It also appeals to collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate innovative firearm mechanics. This trigger requires a solid understanding of your rifle’s gas system and buffer setup; under-gassed or weak ammunition may cause short-stroking, which prevents the reset from engaging. We recommend pairing it with a quality adjustable gas block and a properly weighted buffer to ensure consistent cycling. It is not recommended for duty or defensive use unless you have extensive training with forced-reset trigger systems.
