FRT-15L3 Trigger (Safe/Semi/FRT)

Product Overview

The FRT-15L3 Forced Reset Trigger is a precision-engineered fire control group designed as a significant upgrade for the AR-15 platform. This 100% US-made, drop-in trigger system is engineered for the experienced shooter seeking to refine their rifle’s performance with a faster, more consistent reset mechanism. It is ideal for recreational target shooting, dynamic training courses, and competitive scenarios where shot-to-shot speed and control are paramount. The FRT-15L3 operates with a unique forced-reset action, which, when paired with proper shooting technique, can facilitate rapid, controlled follow-up shots while maintaining a semi-automatic function. It arrives as a complete kit, featuring an ambidextrous safety selector and anti-walk pins for a secure, straightforward installation.

Key Features

• Forced Reset Trigger (FRT) Mechanism: The core innovation. After the hammer falls, the trigger’s forward motion is mechanically “forced” by the bolt carrier group, requiring the shooter to release and deliberately re-engage the trigger for the next shot. This creates a distinct, tactile rhythm that can enhance firing cadence with practice.
• 3-Position Ambidextrous Safety: As per specifications, the included selector offers Safe, Semi, and FRT positions. The ambidextrous design provides ergonomic access for both right and left-handed shooters, ensuring safe and intuitive operation from any firing stance.
• Drop-In Design with Anti-Walk Pins: Engineered for a hassle-free upgrade. The entire unit installs as a single, self-contained module. The included anti-rotation pins prevent lateral movement, ensuring zero play and long-term reliability under sustained use.
• 100% US Manufacturing & Assembly: From raw material to final assembly, the FRT-15L3 is produced domestically. This allows for stringent quality control, superior material sourcing, and direct support for the product.
• Duty-Grade Construction: Machined from high-strength, heat-treated tool steel and aircraft-grade aluminum, this trigger is built to withstand rigorous range sessions. It is designed as a durable, long-term investment for your rifle.
• Enhanced Control & Consistency: By standardizing the reset distance and force, the trigger promotes a more consistent pull cycle. This mechanical consistency can aid shooters in developing a smoother, more repeatable trigger press.

Performance & Applications

The FRT-15L3 is designed for specific, performance-oriented shooting disciplines. Its operation provides a tangible advantage in scenarios where split times matter, but precision remains critical.

Dynamic Training & Carbine Courses: In training environments that simulate real-world shooting positions and transitions, the forced reset mechanism helps shooters maintain a high tempo of accurate fire. The tactile feedback trains the shooter to work with the rifle’s cycle, promoting faster target re-acquisition and shot placement during drills.

Recreational Target Shooting & Steel Challenges: For shooters engaging multiple steel targets or working on timed drills, the FRT-15L3 can make the shooting experience more engaging and responsive. The distinct reset allows for a rapid yet controlled pace, turning standard range time into a high-skill development session.

Competitive Shooting (in applicable divisions): In certain practical shooting sports, a trigger that enables faster, controlled pairs and transitions can be a valuable tool. The FRT-15L3’s design necessitates a disciplined trigger finger, rewarding proper technique with improved stage times. Always verify division rules before competition use.
