About Rare Breed Triggers — The Original FRT Trigger Brand
The story, mission, and manufacturing legacy behind the original rare breed frt-15 forced reset trigger manufacturer — made in the USA.
The Story Behind Rare Breed Triggers
Rare Breed Triggers was founded on one vision: to build a trigger that changed everything. The rarebreed team spent years engineering what became the rare breed frt-15 — a US-patented, semi-automatic forced reset trigger unlike anything on the market. From day one, rarebreedtriggers committed to domestic manufacturing and the highest quality standards in the industry.
The frt-15 launched to immediate demand from AR15 enthusiasts who recognized its genius immediately. The rare of breed innovation — using the bolt carrier group itself to force the trigger to reset — was protected by a US patent and certified as a legal, semi-automatic trigger mechanism. Rare breed frt quickly became the most searched and discussed trigger in the entire industry.
Over time, rarebreed frt expanded its lineup beyond the original AR15 platform, developing forced reset triggers for Glock, AK, MP5, and Ruger 10/22. Each new trigger carries the same DNA as the rare breeds original — precision, innovation, and an uncompromising standard of quality. Rarebreed triggers remains the only brand that truly pioneered this category — backed by a US patent and a DOJ settlement victory that affirmed the company’s position.

Rare Breed Triggers & The Law
A question many buyers ask: are frt triggers legal? The Rare Breed FRT-15 was designed and sold as a semi-automatic trigger that does not meet the statutory definition of a machine gun under federal law. Rare Breed has defended this position through the court system and reached a landmark DOJ settlement confirming the company’s long-held position on are forced reset triggers legal under federal law.
Frt trigger legal status may vary by state and local jurisdiction. Forced reset trigger legal status has been subject to ongoing regulatory attention in certain states. It is the sole responsibility of every buyer to verify that purchasing and owning an FRT trigger is lawful in their specific location before placing any order.
