Rare Breed FRT 15 E3 Trigger

About this product

The Rare Breed FRT 15 E3 Trigger redefines reset speed with a patented mechanism that eliminates trigger slack while maintaining full ATF compliance—no compromises between performance and legality.

What you get

• Enhanced Reset Trigger (ERT) system with three operational modes: Safe, Semi, Hard Reset
• CNC-machined 4140 steel trigger components with black nitride finish
• Tool-less selector switch for mode changes
• Precision-milled aluminum housing (Type III hardcoat anodized)
• Includes anti-walk pins and installation shims
• Compatible with mil-spec AR-15 lower receivers

Build and finish

The FRT 15 E3’s trigger shoe and hammer interface use case-hardened 4140 steel, with engagement surfaces polished to 0.0005″ tolerance. Unlike cast or MIM triggers, the monolithic steel construction eliminates flex during rapid fire while the nitride treatment provides corrosion resistance equivalent to military-spec coatings.

Housing dimensions match standard drop-in trigger footprints (1.375″ width), with reinforced sidewalls to prevent housing deformation. The selector detent employs a spring-loaded tungsten carbide ball bearing for positive mode transitions, rated for 50,000 cycles without wear-induced slop.

Compatible platforms

• AR-15 pattern rifles with mil-spec lower receivers
• Polymer80 PF940v2 frames (requires minor trigger well clearance)
• Modular chassis systems like the Flux Raider
• Not compatible with AK platforms or AR-10/.308 receivers

Installation notes

Fits standard AR-15 trigger pockets without modification. Polymer80 builds may require light filing of the trigger channel for unrestricted reset travel—test function with upper removed before final assembly. Includes .154″ and .155″ shims to eliminate housing play in oversized lower receivers.

For builders pairing this with Polymer80 frames, the E3’s reset mechanism provides distinct tactile feedback that complements compact PDW configurations. The Hard Reset mode allows positive engagement even with stiffer aftermarket hammer springs common in 9mm AR builds.
