What Are Rare Breed Triggers?

Rare Breed Triggers is the manufacturer behind the most talked-about forced reset trigger (FRT) in the firearm industry. Founded on a commitment to innovation, legal compliance, and uncompromising performance, Rare Breed Triggers set out to give law-abiding AR-15 owners access to a trigger that could genuinely transform their shooting experience. The result was the Rare Breed Triggers FRT-15 — a patented forced reset trigger that quickly earned a devoted following among competitive shooters, tactical enthusiasts, and everyday gun owners alike.

Unlike a binary trigger that fires on both pull and release, or a bump stock that relies on body mechanics, the FRT-15 uses a fundamentally different approach. The trigger’s design harnesses the energy of the cycling bolt carrier group to mechanically push the trigger forward and reset it — while simultaneously locking the trigger until the BCG returns fully to battery. The shooter must re-apply deliberate trigger pressure to fire again. One pull, one round — faster than you’ve ever experienced on a semi-automatic rifle.

If you’re searching for where to buy Rare Breed Triggers from a reputable, authorized source, raresbreedtriggers.com carries the full current product lineup with fast shipping and expert support.

The FRT-15 — A Decade of Forced Reset Innovation

The FRT-15 represents the culmination of years of engineering research and real-world testing. When it was first introduced, it immediately redefined what AR-15 owners could expect from an aftermarket trigger upgrade. Built around a 7075-T6 aluminum housing with precision wire EDM cut internal components, black nitrite QPQ finish, and integrated anti-walk pins, the Rare Breed Triggers FRT-15 set a benchmark that competitors have spent years trying to replicate — without success.

The FRT-15L3 is the current flagship model, delivering a 3-position system (Safe / Semi / FRT) with an ambidextrous safety selector. It ships with anti-walk pins and requires no permanent modification to your firearm. For those who prefer a flat trigger bow, the FRT-15L3 Flat delivers the same internals with a straighter pull angle and consistent finger placement under rapid fire.

Rare Breed Triggers FRT-15 — Technical Compatibility Guide

The rare breed triggers FRT 15 series is designed to work with MIL-SPEC AR-15 lower receivers. Because the forced reset mechanism relies on the bolt carrier group to physically cycle the trigger forward, proper BCG and buffer compatibility is essential. What Rare Breed and experienced users consistently recommend:

• BCG: A full-auto compatible bolt carrier group is required for the Rare Breed trigger’s reset lug to engage properly
• Buffer: H2 or H3 carbine buffer, or an A5 buffer system, is strongly recommended
• Lower Receiver: Standard MIL-SPEC AR-15 lower with unmodified trigger group cavity
• Barrel: No restriction — the FRT-15 is caliber and barrel agnostic for standard 5.56/.223 AR builds
• PCC/Mini Rifle Builds: Use the FRT-MR3 or FRT-MR3 Flat for AR-9 and pistol-caliber carbine applications

Is the Rare Breed FRT-15 Legal? What You Need to Know

The FRT-15 is designed and sold as a semi-automatic trigger — it fires one round per single deliberate trigger pull. Rare Breed Triggers has consistently maintained this position, backed it through litigation, and obtained favorable federal court rulings protecting the product’s classification. That said, several states have enacted laws restricting forced reset triggers. We strongly recommend verifying your state’s current regulations before purchasing. For authoritative federal guidance, consult ATF.gov.

Current restricted shipping states include CA, CT, DE, HI, IL, MA, MD, NJ, NY, OR, RI, WA, and DC. For the most up-to-date restrictions, check the product pages in our shop.

Rare Breed Triggers and the Fight for the Second Amendment

Rare Breed Triggers has been at the center of a years-long legal battle with federal regulatory agencies. Rather than capitulating, they chose to fight. They’ve partnered with The National Association for Gun Rights and Texas Gun Rights to defend their products and customers in court — obtaining injunctions, pursuing patent infringement cases against copycats, and standing as one of the most visible private companies defending Second Amendment rights.

Their motto: No Compromise. When you purchase from raresbreedtriggers.com, you’re not just buying an elite firearm component — you’re supporting a company that has spent millions defending the rights of American gun owners.
