Your Questions Answered
What is the FRT-15C3?
The FRT-15C3 is a two-stage forced reset trigger system for AR-15 platforms. It features a 3-position selector (safe/semi/forced reset) and includes all necessary hardware for installation.
What’s the difference between FRT-15C3 and FRT-15L3?
The C3 model features our compact configuration with both long and short selector levers, while the L3 is our full-size version. Both use the same forced reset mechanism.
What does the “C3” designation mean?
The “C” indicates compact size, while “3” refers to the three-position selector. This distinguishes it from our two-position models.
