Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Rare Breed FRT-15L3 trigger?

The Rare Breed FRT-15L3 is a 3-position forced reset trigger for AR-15 platforms. It features Safe, standard Semi-Automatic, and Forced Reset (FRT) modes, allowing for rapid firing by resetting the trigger upon bolt carrier cycle.

How does the forced reset mechanism work on the FRT-15L3?

In FRT mode, as the bolt carrier group cycles after a shot, it physically forces the trigger mechanism forward. This action resets the trigger, allowing the shooter to fire again almost instantaneously by simply maintaining rearward pressure on the trigger.

What are the recommended components for optimal FRT-15L3 performance?

For best reliability, especially with suppressed setups, it's recommended to use an H3 or heavier buffer and a full-auto bolt carrier group. Shorter upper receivers may require more tuning.

Is the Rare Breed FRT-15L3 trigger legal?

The FRT-15L3 is designed and marketed as a semi-automatic trigger. Rare Breed Triggers, with support from groups like NAGR, has actively defended its legal status against regulatory challenges.
