FRT-15C3 Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15

If you have been looking for a precision-engineered trigger that bridges the gap between standard semi-automatic function and advanced forced-reset performance, the FRT-15C3 two-stage (3-position) forced reset trigger for the AR-15 from Rare Breed is a standout option. This is not a gimmick. It is a thoughtfully designed trigger system that gives the shooter genuine control over the trigger cycle. Whether you are building a competition rifle or a range-ready AR, this trigger brings a level of mechanical sophistication that demands attention.

Overview

The FRT-15C3 two-stage (3-position) forced reset trigger for the AR-15 is built around Rare Breed’s proven forced-reset mechanism, but with a distinct two-stage pull that many shooters prefer for accuracy. The three-position selector allows you to choose between safe, standard semi-automatic fire, and the forced-reset mode that resets the trigger forward automatically during the cycle. This is not a “binary” or “full-auto” system. It is a mechanical innovation that changes how you interact with the trigger shoe. The result is a faster follow-up shot capability without altering the rifle’s lower receiver or bolt carrier group.

Features & Specs

• Two-stage trigger pull: The first stage provides a light take-up, and the second stage offers a crisp break. This gives you the precision of a match-grade trigger when firing in standard semi-automatic mode.
• Three-position selector: Safe, Semi, and Forced Reset. The third position engages the forced-reset function, where the trigger resets forward under spring pressure as the bolt cycles, allowing for rapid sequential shots.
• Drop-in design: No gunsmithing required. The FRT-15C3 two-stage (3-position) forced reset trigger for the AR-15 installs directly into standard mil-spec lower receivers with no modification to the lower or bolt carrier.

Rare Breed has engineered this unit with hardened steel components and a nickel Teflon-coated trigger shoe for smooth operation and long-term durability. The trigger pull weight is factory-set and consistent, typically landing around 4.5 to 5 pounds on the second stage. The housing is precision-machined to minimize creep and over-travel.

Who It’s For

This trigger is ideal for the experienced AR-15 owner who understands the mechanics of their rifle and wants to push performance without sacrificing safety. If you compete in action shooting sports, train for defensive use, or simply enjoy exploring the capabilities of your platform, the FRT-15C3 two-stage (3-position) forced reset trigger for the AR-15 offers a unique shooting experience. It is also well-suited for gunsmiths and builders looking to offer customers a premium trigger option. That said, this is not a trigger for beginners or for those who do not thoroughly understand the function of their firearm. Forced-reset triggers require proper grip and technique to operate safely and effectively.
