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 refined evolution in forced-reset trigger technology from Rare Breed. This trigger system is engineered for shooters who demand precision in semi-automatic fire combined with the cyclic speed of a forced-reset mechanism. Unlike standard single-stage triggers, the FRT-15C3 introduces a true two-stage pull, giving the operator a defined take-up wall before the break. The third position on the selector enables forced-reset functionality, allowing the trigger to reset forward automatically during the bolt cycle. This product is a direct replacement for mil-spec AR-15 fire control groups and requires no permanent modifications to the lower receiver.

Features and Specs

The FRT-15C3 Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 is built around Rare Breed’s proprietary cam-driven system. The two-stage design provides a consistent first stage pull weight of approximately 2.5 pounds, followed by a crisp second stage break at 4.5 pounds when used in standard semi-automatic mode. When the selector is moved to the forced-reset position, the trigger resets forward under spring tension as the bolt carrier group cycles, enabling rapid follow-up shots while maintaining semi-automatic function.

• Two-stage pull with defined wall and crisp break; forced-reset mode enables rapid cyclic rates
• Three-position selector: safe, semi-automatic, forced-reset (3-position mode)
• Drop-in design compatible with standard AR-15 lower receivers; includes anti-walk pins and heavy-duty return spring

Durability testing shows the trigger maintains consistent reset force through 10,000+ cycles. The housing is CNC-machined from 7075-T6 aluminum with a hard-coat anodized finish, and all internal engagement surfaces are polished to reduce friction. The FRT-15C3 Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 is covered by Rare Breed’s standard warranty against manufacturing defects.

Who It’s For

This trigger is designed for experienced AR-15 owners who understand the mechanical operation of forced-reset systems and want a trigger that offers both precision semi-automatic performance and the ability to train with faster follow-up shots. It is suitable for competitive shooters in divisions that permit forced-reset triggers, as well as for enthusiasts who prioritize trigger feel and cyclic consistency. The two-stage pull makes this a viable option for shooters who also use their rifle for precision work, as the trigger can be operated in standard semi-automatic mode with a predictable break. Before purchasing the FRT-15C3 Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15, verify that your local laws and range regulations permit the use of forced-reset triggers.

• Competitive shooters in USPSA, 3-Gun, or outlaw matches where forced-reset triggers are allowed
• AR-15 builders seeking a two-stage trigger with an additional high-speed training mode
• Experienced shooters who understand manual safety discipline and proper trigger control
