FRT-15L3 (Flat) Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15
The FRT-15L3 (Flat) Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 represents a significant engineering evolution in forced-reset trigger design. Manufactured by Rare Breed, this flat-shoe variant delivers crisp, repeatable performance with a three-position selector that gives the operator clear control over firing modes. Built for the AR-15 platform, this trigger is precision-machined from billet steel and designed for users who demand consistent, high-speed operation without the complexity of full-auto components.
Overview
The FRT-15L3 (Flat) Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 is a drop-in assembly that replaces your standard trigger group. It uses a patented forced-reset mechanism that physically drives the trigger forward immediately after the hammer falls, enabling rapid follow-up shots while maintaining semi-automatic compliance. The flat trigger shoe provides a consistent finger placement point, reducing pull variation during high-speed strings. Each unit is serialized and inspected by Rare Breed for fitment and function.
Features & Specs
- Three-position selector: Safe, Semi-Automatic, and Forced-Reset mode for user-selectable operation
