FRT-15L3™
Forced Reset Trigger for the AR-15
Take your AR-15 to the next level with the official Rare Breed Triggers FRT-15L3™. This drop-in, duty-grade 3-position Forced Reset Trigger (Safe/Semi/FRT) is 100% manufactured and assembled in the USA. The FRT-15L3™ includes a 3-position ambidextrous safety selector and anti-walk pins for a secure, hassle-free installation.
Performance on the Range
Enhance your shooting experience with the FRT-15L3™ Forced Reset Trigger. Designed to accelerate follow-up shots while remaining within legal parameters, the innovative Forced Reset system resets the trigger after each shot, enabling faster, more consistent firing. Each trigger pull fires one round, ensuring full legal compliance while delivering improved speed and performance. Perfect for competitive shooting, tactical training, or maximizing your AR-15’s potential.
Innovative Design and Features
- 3-Position Functionality: The FRT-15L3™ features Safe, Semi, and Forced Reset modes, controlled via a 3-position, ambidextrous safety selector. Whether you’re focused on precision shooting or rapid-fire drills, this system adapts to your needs, offering versatility for both left- and right-handed shooters.
- Effortless Installation: Designed for easy installation on MIL-SPEC AR-15 lowers, the FRT-15L3™ includes anti-walk trigger pins, providing secure attachment and preventing unwanted movement during extended use. The ambidextrous safety selector seamlessly integrates into any MIL-SPEC lower receiver.
Durable Construction for Long-Lasting Performance
Crafted from high-quality materials, including 7075 anodized aluminum and heat-treated 4140 steel, the FRT-15L3™ is built to endure heavy use. This robust construction ensures reliability and longevity, allowing you to push your AR-15 to its limits with confidence.
AR-15 Compatibility
The FRT-15L3™ is compatible with MIL-SPEC AR-15 lowers and requires a full-auto-compatible bolt carrier group for proper functionality. For optimal performance, we also recommend using an H2 or H3 buffer, or alternatively, an A5 buffer system. Please note: The FRT-15L3 may not fit in certain Colt models or other lowers with a sear block/shelf.
Unmatched Speed and Control
The FRT-15L3™ is ideal for shooters seeking speed and precision. By mechanically resetting the trigger after each shot, then locking the trigger from being pulled until the BCG returns to battery, this system allows for faster follow-up shots without needing advanced techniques. The forced reset mechanism ensures the trigger returns to the non-firing position after each round, requiring the shooter to pull the trigger again, offering full control over each shot.
Why Choose the FRT-15L3™ Forced Reset Trigger?
If you’re looking to boost your AR-15’s performance, the FRT-15L3 Forced Reset Trigger is the ultimate upgrade. With its rapid-fire capability, secure anti-rotation design, and seamless compatibility with the AR-15 platform, this trigger provides a superior shooting experience for competition, tactical use, or range drills. Unlock the full potential of your AR-15 with the FRT-15L3™.

Great product!

My second try at an FRT. First try was from a Utah company, trigger malfunctioned and would fire 2 rounds in single shot mode. fortunately a good company so they refunded my full purchase price.
Rare Breed FRT-15L3 has performed flawlessly.
Well over 1000 rounds through the gun with this trigger.
I’m running an H4 buffer in this AR-15, also an HBAR barrel.
Gun runs fine with an H2 but so fast I have trouble fighting the barrel rise with sustained fire. Zero FTF or misfires, a number of different 556, 223 ammo makers all feed and fire without issue.
There are many pretender companies out there with similar names and web addresses, make sure you get the official site at RareBreedTriggers.com

Great build quality, easy install and does everything as described. 2000+ rounds not a single malfunction. Going to get another Soon! Thanks
Mathew Cimo –
Trigger is awesome, in both selections. Semi is super crisp and consistent, and forced reset has been working flawlessly.
Mark J –
Absolutely love it! Easy installation and great at the range!! Will be buying more.
Derrick –
I have the first version that’s still running like a top and I have two FRT-15L3 and they run flawless!!!!!!!
Peter M (verified owner) –
Can’t recommend this FRT enough. Drops right in for an easy install. FRT chugs all kinds of bullets. Great product!
Drew S –
I have this in an EPC 9mm build I completed, and in a AR-15, heavier buffers put in and they run great! Only great things to say and the smiles these bring are hard to hide! Just hoping for a AR-10 compatible version. Thank you for the great quality and fun range days.

Great trigger! Need some stickers!
Zachary M –
Starting off this was my first FRT and it’s an awesome drop in trigger group, it took maybe 10-15 minutes from disassembly to test firing. Test firing went smoothly and is one of the most fun firearms I own.

Four or five years ago I put the gen 1 rare breed frt-15 in an AR-9 SBR and it ran flawlessly. Cheaper to run 9 mm than 5.56. I did change the buffer and buffer spring. Just purchased a new Rare Breed trigger, which makes my 4th. Love them!
Wayne –
Buy with confidence. It just works. Dropped right in and worked flawlessly.

I use this trigger in my truck/competition rifle. Not exactly a match trigger that I’m use but still very usable and forgiving and still precise in single.
I use a JP Enterprises Silent Capture heavy recoil buffer assembly and my rifle runs flawlessly in “Full Send”… from factory 55gr Rem or NATO up 75gr Rem or NATO to include my personal pet loads from 55gr up to 75gr.
Top it off with a VG6 Gamma muzzle brake, this whole setup is incredible.
Never was one for the AR platform, but getting into 2-gun and now this… thinking about my next build.
