As a direct descendant of the original FRT design, the L3 model refines the user experience with improved geometry and consistent reset mechanics. Whether you are building a new rifle or upgrading an existing platform, this trigger offers a legitimate performance enhancement for the modern AR-15 platform.

Overview

The FRT-15L3™ Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 is a drop-in trigger assembly engineered for semi-automatic AR-15 pattern rifles. It utilizes a forced reset mechanism that returns the trigger forward after each shot, requiring the shooter to release and reset the trigger for the next round. This design allows for rapid, controlled fire without converting the firearm to fully automatic operation. The three-position safety selector offers Safe, Semi-Automatic, and Forced Reset modes, giving the operator full control over the firing cycle. Rare Breed has built a reputation for durable, mil-spec compatible triggers, and this unit continues that tradition with CNC-machined components and a hardened steel housing.

Features & Specs

This trigger is built for those who understand the mechanical demands of high-speed shooting. The single-stage pull is crisp and consistent, with no take-up or creep in the forced reset position. Below are the key specifications and design elements of the FRT-15L3™ Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15.

• Manufacturer: Rare Breed. Category: Triggers. Drop-in design requires no gunsmithing for installation in standard AR-15 lower receivers.
