Features & Specs
The FRT-15C3 Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 incorporates Rare Breed’s proprietary forced reset cam system, which physically resets the trigger forward after each shot. This mechanical reset creates a repeatable, fast cycling action when the shooter maintains constant rearward pressure. The three-position selector offers safe, semi-automatic, and forced reset modes. Each trigger ships as a complete drop-in cassette assembly, eliminating the need for specialized gunsmithing tools.

- Drop-in cassette design for straightforward installation in standard AR-15 lower receivers
