Forced Reset Triggers (FRTs)
Experience a Near-Instantaneous Reset: Shop FRT-15 Systems
The Forced Reset Trigger (FRT) represents the pinnacle of modern semi-automatic trigger technology, utilizing a patented internal mechanism that actively forces the trigger forward after every shot. This near-instantaneous reset allows the shooter to maintain a consistent rhythm and achieve an extremely rapid rate of fire, often rivaling the cyclic speed of a true full-auto firearm.
We offer the top-performing FRT systems—most notably the Rare Breed FRT-15—for the AR-15 platform, designed as a true drop-in upgrade for high-performance shooting.
What is a Forced Reset Trigger (FRT)?
Unlike a standard trigger which relies solely on a spring, the FRT uses the rifle’s cycling action to physically push the trigger shoe back into the forward-most position.
- Operation: The rifle fires one round when the trigger is pulled. Immediately after, the internal reset mechanism forces the trigger forward, physically pushing the shooter’s finger into the reset position.
- Key Difference from Binary: The FRT only fires one round per trigger pull. It does not fire a round on the release, making its function distinct from a Binary Firing System (BFS).
- Performance: By eliminating trigger finger “follow-through” slack and minimizing the reset distance to nearly zero, the FRT allows for the fastest possible shooting cadence achievable with a semi-automatic weapon.
⚠️ CRITICAL LEGAL NOTICE: FRT Status Update
The legal status of Forced Reset Triggers has been a major topic in the firearms community. We prioritize providing our customers with accurate and up-to-date legal information:
- Federal Status: As of May 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) settled litigation against the primary manufacturer of the FRT-15, effectively agreeing not to enforce federal machine gun regulations against the possession and sale of these specific, patented devices. This landmark settlement marks a major victory for Second Amendment rights and allows the FRT-15 to be legally sold and possessed under current federal law.
- Your Responsibility: It is the purchaser’s sole legal responsibility to verify that the possession, sale, and installation of a Forced Reset Trigger is compliant with all federal, state, and local laws in your specific jurisdiction. Please consult local regulations before placing an order.
