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

Overview

The frt-15c3™ two-stage (3-position) forced reset trigger for the ar-15 represents a precision-engineered evolution in AR-15 trigger systems. Manufactured by Rare Breed, this trigger unit integrates a two-stage pull with a three-position selector and forced reset functionality. Unlike standard drop-in triggers, the FRT-15C3™ is designed around a mechanical forced reset mechanism that returns the trigger forward after each shot without relying solely on spring tension. The selector offers safe, semi-automatic, and a third position that enables the forced reset cycling. This system is built from heat-treated steel components with a nickel-Teflon coated hammer and trigger, providing consistent pull weights and reduced friction across thermal extremes. The unit is a direct replacement for mil-spec trigger groups and requires no modification to the lower receiver. Each FRT-15C3™ is assembled to Rare Breed’s published tolerances and tested for sear engagement and reset timing before shipment.

Features & Specs

The frt-15c3™ two-stage (3-position) forced reset trigger for the ar-15 delivers a measurable performance envelope through its mechanical design. The two-stage pull offers a defined take-up followed by a crisp break, with the forced reset positively returning the trigger forward during the cycling of the bolt carrier group. The three-position selector provides safe, semi-automatic, and the forced reset mode. Manufacturer-specified pull weight is approximately 4.5 to 5.5 pounds, with a reset distance shorter than standard mil-spec triggers. The housing is machined from 7075-T6 aluminum with a hardcoat anodized finish. The trigger and hammer pins are captured using retaining clips, eliminating the need for trigger pin installation tools.

• Two-stage trigger with forced reset mechanism; three-position selector (safe, semi, forced-reset mode)
• Nickel-Teflon coated hammer and trigger components for reduced friction and corrosion resistance
• Drop-in design compatible with standard AR-15 lower receivers; no permanent modifications required

Who It’s For

This trigger system is suited for shooters who require a repeatable, mechanically consistent trigger cycle in their AR-15 platform. The frt-15c3™ two-stage (3-position) forced reset trigger for the ar-15 is intended for use by individuals who understand the operational parameters of forced reset triggers and who have experience with non-standard trigger systems. It is not a training device for inexperienced shooters. The two-stage pull benefits precision shooting applications where a defined wall before the break is valued, while the forced reset function provides a tactile return that some shooters prefer for timed strings or drills. Competitive shooters, firearms instructors, and advanced hobbyists who maintain detailed logs of trigger pull weights and reset distances are the primary audience. The unit is designed for AR-15 rifles and pistols with standard bolt carrier groups and buffer systems.

• Experienced AR-15 builders and shooters familiar with trigger adjustment and function checks
• Competition shooters who document pull weight and reset metrics in their equipment logs
• Firearms instructors who demonstrate trigger control and cycle mechanics to advanced students
