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 significant evolution in forced reset trigger design from Rare Breed. This third-generation unit introduces a distinct two-stage break combined with a three-position selector, offering operators a deliberate safety, a precise single-shot mode, and the patented forced reset function. Unlike earlier linear-reset designs, the FRT-15C3 provides a tactile wall and clean break before the forced reset cycle initiates, giving shooters greater control over shot placement while maintaining the rapid cyclic capability the platform is known for. This FRT-15C3 Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 is built entirely from billet-machined steel and hardcoat anodized aluminum components, ensuring consistent performance under heavy use. The trigger ships as a complete drop-in cassette assembly, requiring no trigger guard modification or additional gunsmith fitting on standard mil-spec lower receivers.
