Forced Reset Triggers sales surge following legal victories, Rare Breed seeks OEM partnerships, teases FRTs for new platforms


WICHITA FALLS, Texas – Rare Breed Triggers, a leader in innovative firearm trigger technology, is actively seeking Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) partners to integrate Rare Breed’s patented Forced Reset Triggers (FRTs®) as a standard option on multiple platforms.  

This push follows a series of successful legal victories and a major settlement agreement with the United States, affirming the FRT-15’s compliance with federal regulations and paving the way for its expanded adoption. 

The FRT-15 is celebrated for its ability to deliver faster follow-up shots through a unique forced reset technology, making it a game-changer for AR-15 enthusiasts, competitive shooters and tactical users. By partnering with OEMs, Rare Breed aims to bring this high-performance trigger directly to consumers as a factory-standard feature on AR-15s and other platforms.  

“We believe every factory-built AR-15 should come equipped with a true three-position selector, not just the look of one. Our FRT-15 delivers exactly that, giving shooters the capability and performance they expect from a modern fighting rifle,” said Lawrence DeMonico, president of Rare Breed Triggers. 

Unprecedented Demand 

Since resuming sales just over two weeks ago, Rare Breed Triggers has sold more than 6,000 triggers, fulfilling more than 5,000 orders.  

“The only thing preventing us from selling more is that we are limiting sales to the amount we can physically fulfill each day,” DeMonico said. “Within an hour or two, we are typically selling our self-imposed daily limit of around 500-800 triggers each day. However, we are working on multiple solutions to scale up our operations to handle more.”  

The remarkable sales surge highlights the strong demand for the FRT-15 and its growing popularity in the firearms market.  

With exclusive licensing rights to more than a dozen FRT-related patents, Rare Breed Triggers has demonstrated their dedication to advancing firearm technology while safeguarding their intellectual property. This robust patent portfolio provides OEM partners with confidence in the exclusivity and reliability of the Rare Breed’s FRT designs. 

New Products on the Horizon 

Rare Breed is not stopping with the AR-15. The company announced on Tuesday that they will soon release Forced Reset Triggers for a broader range of firearms. 

“We are pleased to announce that we will soon be releasing FRTs for the HK and AK platforms in addition to two additional AR-15 variants,” DeMonico said. “Anyone interested in learning more about these should subscribe to our email list by visiting the homepage of our website to stay informed about their release.”
