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

If you build AR-15s or just like to shoot them hard, you already know that the trigger is the heart of the platform. The FRT-15C3 two-stage (3-position) forced reset trigger for the AR-15 from Rare Breed brings a refined, hands-on approach to forced reset technology. This is not a gimmick. It is a well-engineered drop-in unit that gives you a crisp two-stage break with the option of a third position that forces the trigger forward after each shot. You get the precision you want for aimed fire and the speed you need for controlled strings, all in one package. We stock this because our customers asked for something that bridges the gap between a duty trigger and a competition-ready setup, and the FRT-15C3 two-stage (3-position) forced reset trigger for the AR-15 delivers exactly that.

Overview

Rare Breed took the forced reset concept and gave it a two-stage personality. The FRT-15C3 two-stage (3-position) forced reset trigger for the AR-15 offers a safe position, a standard semi-automatic fire position with a clean two-stage pull, and a third position that engages the forced reset function. In that third position, the trigger mechanically resets forward after each shot, allowing you to focus on your grip and sight picture rather than waiting on a spring. This is a complete drop-in cassette assembly, so no gunsmithing is required. It fits standard AR-15 lower receivers and uses your existing hammer and trigger pins. The result is a trigger that feels familiar on the range but gives you an edge when you need to send rounds downrange quickly.

Features & Specs

• Drop-in cassette design for easy installation in standard AR-15 lower receivers; no special tools or permanent modifications required.
• Three-position selector: safe, semi-auto with two-stage pull, and forced reset mode for rapid follow-up shots.
• Nickel Teflon-coated trigger and hammer components for a smooth, consistent feel and corrosion resistance.

Additional specs include a trigger pull weight of approximately 4.5 to 5.5 pounds in semi-auto mode, with a distinct wall and clean break. In forced reset mode, the trigger resets forward after each shot without requiring the shooter to fully release the trigger. The unit is manufactured by Rare Breed in the United States and is designed to work with mil-spec bolt carrier groups and buffer systems. Always verify compatibility with your specific upper receiver and bolt carrier before installation.

Who It Is For

This FRT-15C3 two-stage (3-position) forced reset trigger for the AR-15 is for the shooter who wants versatility without compromise. If you run a carbine class that demands both slow-fire accuracy and fast transitions, this trigger gives you both in one selector switch. It is also a strong choice for the home defense rifle owner who wants a crisp two-stage pull for precision but wants the option of rapid follow-up shots if needed. Competitive shooters in outlaw or open divisions will appreciate the forced reset function for speed drills, while the two-stage semi-auto setting keeps you honest on slow-fire stages. This is not a novelty trigger. It is a tool for shooters who know what they want from their rifle and are willing to trust a proven design from Rare Breed.
