Rare Breed FRT-15™ Trigger: The Game-Changing Forced Reset Innovation
The Rare Breed FRT-15 Trigger stands as a landmark achievement in firearms technology, representing the pioneering spirit that brought reliable forced reset functionality to the commercial market. This isn’t merely another trigger component—it’s a revolutionary system that redefines what’s possible with semi-automatic AR-15 platforms. As the original forced reset trigger that captured the attention of shooters worldwide, the FRT-15 continues to deliver exceptional performance through mechanical innovation that respects legal boundaries while pushing the limits of practical firing capability.
Understanding FRT Technology: How the RBT FRT15 Works
The Rare Breed FRT-15 operates on a fundamentally different principle than traditional triggers. Where conventional triggers require the shooter to manually release and reset the trigger between shots, the FRT-15’s innovative mechanism automatically resets the trigger after each round is fired. This forced reset occurs as the bolt carrier group travels rearward during the firing cycle, mechanically preparing the trigger for the next shot without requiring manual release by the shooter.

Performance Benefits: The FRT-15™ Advantage
Revolutionary Firing Speed
The FRT-15’s forced reset mechanism provides a tangible advantage in scenarios where rapid, controlled follow-up shots are essential. By eliminating the manual reset process, shooters can maintain better sight picture and weapon stability while achieving significantly improved shot-to-shot timing. This isn’t about making a machine gun—it’s about optimizing semi-automatic operation to its full potential.
Enhanced Shooting Control
Traditional rapid firing often sacrifices accuracy due to inconsistent trigger manipulation. The FRT-15’s consistent operation creates a predictable rhythm that helps maintain sight picture and weapon stability. Whether you’re engaging multiple targets or making precision shots, the FRT-15 provides the perfect balance of speed and control.
Intuitive Operation
Despite its advanced mechanics, the FRT-15 is designed for natural, intuitive operation. The transition from traditional trigger use to the FRT-15 system is straightforward, allowing most shooters to adapt quickly and begin realizing the performance benefits immediately. The learning curve is surprisingly shallow for such a revolutionary system.
Installation Requirements & Compatibility
Simple Drop-In Installation
Installing your FRT-15 follows standard AR-15 procedures:
Ensure complete firearm safety – verify unloaded status
Remove existing fire control group
Install FRT-15 unit into lower receiver
Secure with included anti-walk pins
Perform function test before live firing
Test fire in a safe environment to verify operation
Optimal System Configuration
For best performance with your FRT-15, we recommend:
Full-Auto Compatible Bolt Carrier Group: Essential for proper function
H2 or H3 Buffer Weight: Helps regulate cyclic rate for optimal performance
Quality Ammunition: Ensure reliable cycling and consistent pressure
Proper Lubrication: Keep components properly lubricated for smooth operation
Platform Compatibility
The FRT-15 trigger is designed for use with:
MIL-SPEC AR-15 Lower Receivers
AR-15 Pattern Rifles in 5.56/.223 and similar calibers

FRT-15 vs. Other Trigger Systems
Comparison with Traditional Triggers
The FRT-15 represents a fundamental departure from conventional trigger designs. Where traditional triggers rely on shooter-controlled reset, the FRT-15 automates this process while maintaining the essential semi-automatic requirement of a distinct trigger pull for each shot.
Comparison with Binary Triggers
While binary triggers fire on both pull and release, the FRT-15 maintains a more traditional single-direction operation while achieving similar practical rates of fire through optimized reset mechanics. The FRT-15 offers a different approach to enhanced performance that many shooters find more intuitive.
Comparison with Enhanced Match Triggers
Precision match triggers focus on improving pull quality and reducing weight for accuracy purposes. The FRT-15 serves a different purpose—enhancing practical rate of fire while maintaining adequate accuracy for tactical and recreational applications.
Legal Status & Compliance Information
The Rare Breed FRT-15 trigger system is designed and manufactured to operate as a semi-automatic fire control group. Each shot requires a distinct trigger pull, with the forced reset mechanism automating only the reset portion of the trigger cycle.
Important Legal Development: In a significant ruling on July 23, 2024, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas ruled that Rare Breed FRT-15 triggers are not machine guns under the National Firearms Act (NFA), and their possession does not violate federal law.
Compliance Notice: Despite this federal court ruling, purchasers are responsible for understanding and complying with all state and local laws. Customers must ensure compliance with import and use regulations.
