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

If you shoot AR-15s in Florida, you already know that standard triggers leave something on the table. The Rare Breed FRT-15C3™ Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 is designed for shooters who want precise, repeatable control without the mush or overtravel of a standard mil-spec setup. This is not a gimmick—it is a mechanically engineered drop-in unit that gives you a crisp two-stage pull with a forced-reset third position that changes how you manage rapid fire. We have tested this trigger in humid South Florida ranges and dusty Central Florida pits, and it holds up without a hitch.

Overview

The FRT-15C3™ uses a patented forced-reset mechanism that physically pushes the trigger forward after each shot, allowing your finger to ride the reset with zero guesswork. The two-stage design gives you a clean take-up, a distinct wall, and a predictable break. The third position is a forced-reset mode that resets the trigger faster than a standard trigger can follow. This is not full-auto—each pull still fires one round—but the reset speed changes your cadence dramatically. For Florida shooters running drills on steel or competing in 2-Gun, this trigger delivers a tangible advantage.

Features & Specs

• Manufacturer: Rare Breed — trusted for forced-reset innovation and durable construction in the AR-15 platform
• Category: Triggers — drop-in, no gunsmithing required for installation in standard AR-15 lower receivers
• Two-Stage Pull: First stage provides approximately 2.5 lbs of take-up; second stage breaks cleanly at 4.5 to 5 lbs
• 3-Position Selector: Safe, semi-auto (standard two-stage), and forced-reset mode (third position)
• Construction: Heat-treated steel hammer and trigger, nickel-Teflon coated for corrosion resistance in Florida humidity
• Compatibility: Fits mil-spec AR-15 lower receivers; does not require modification to bolt carrier group

This trigger is built for shooters who want a fighting trigger that doubles as a range tool. The forced-reset mode does not change the mechanical firing sequence—it simply reengages the sear faster than a traditional spring can return the trigger. That means you maintain positive control without the sloppy reset of a standard mil-spec trigger.

Who It’s For

This FRT-15C3™ Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15 is ideal for three types of Florida shooters. First, the competitive shooter running USPSA or 2-Gun matches in places like Volusia County or Polk County—you need a trigger that gives you a clean break on steel and a fast reset for follow-up shots. Second, the serious hobbyist who trains regularly at outdoor ranges from Ocala to the Everglades and wants to improve split times without sacrificing safety. Third, the collector or enthusiast who appreciates precision engineering and wants a trigger that performs differently than anything else on the market. If you already own an AR-15 and have been thinking about upgrading your trigger, this Rare Breed unit is a direct drop-in replacement that changes how you shoot.

Shipping & FFL

We ship to all Florida addresses where AR-15 components are legal. This trigger is a drop-in part and does not require transfer through a Federal Firearms License (FFL) for purchase—it is not a firearm or a firearm receiver. However, we strongly recommend that you confirm local and state regulations before ordering. Florida law currently allows the ownership and use of forced-reset triggers, but laws can change. You are responsible for compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws. If you have questions about your specific county or municipality, consult a local firearms attorney. We do not accept returns on installed triggers, so verify compatibility with your specific lower receiver before installation.
