Para 15 Trigger

Introduction to the Para 15 Trigger

The Para 15 Trigger represents the pinnacle of aftermarket AR-15 upgrades, designed to deliver unmatched precision, rapid reset, and rock-solid reliability. Built with high-grade aluminum and steel components, this drop-in trigger assembly transforms standard AR-15 platforms into performance machines. Whether you’re a competitive shooter seeking to shave milliseconds off your split times or a tactical operator demanding consistent control, the Para 15 Trigger offers a seamless installation process and immediate, tangible improvements on the firing line.

Key Performance Features

At the heart of the Para 15 Trigger is its Forced Reset Trigger (FRT) mechanism. Unlike conventional triggers requiring manual reset, the FRT uses the discharge energy to automatically reset the sear, enabling shooters to maintain finger pressure and achieve faster follow-up shots without sacrificing accuracy. Adjustable pull weights ranging from 2.5 to 5.5 pounds let you customize the trigger feel to your personal preference, while the clean, crisp break eliminates creep and ensures pinpoint shot placement.

Material and Construction

Every component of the Para 15 Trigger is meticulously machined and treated for longevity. The housing and internal parts are finished with a corrosion-resistant melonite coating, protecting against harsh environmental conditions and extensive firing sessions. Hardened steel hammer and sear surfaces resist wear, maintaining consistent performance over thousands of rounds. Anti-walk pins secure the assembly in your lower receiver, preventing any unwanted movement during intense firing drills.

Installation Guide

1. Range Safety First: Always clear your firearm, remove the magazine, and verify the chamber is empty.
2. Lower Receiver Disassembly: Use standard punches to remove the trigger and hammer pins from your AR-15 lower receiver.
3. Insert Para 15 Trigger: Align the trigger housing with pin holes and press in gently, ensuring proper seating.
4. Secure Pins: Install the provided hammer and trigger pins until they sit flush.
5. Function Check: Dry-fire test to confirm a clean pull, crisp break, and forced reset operation.

Forced Reset Mechanism Explained

The elite feature of the Para 15 Trigger is its forced reset mechanism. By harnessing the energy from each shot, the trigger automatically returns to its reset position under the shooter’s constant finger pressure. This system reduces take-up time, allowing shooters to achieve follow-up shots nearly twice as fast as a standard AR-15 trigger. In competition scenarios like 3-Gun, or high-stress tactical drills, this advantage translates directly into better scores and quicker target engagement.

Legal Compliance and Safety Considerations

Designed to comply with current ATF regulations, the Para 15 Trigger does not convert your firearm into a machine gun. Each round still requires a separate pull, ensuring federal law adherence. However, shooters should always verify their state and local laws regarding forced reset triggers. Proper training and respect for firearm safety rules remain paramount; never point the muzzle at anything you are not willing to destroy, and keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire.

Maintenance and Longevity

Maintaining your Para 15 Trigger is simple yet crucial for reliable operation. After each range session, disassemble the lower receiver, clean all moving parts with a quality solvent, and lightly lubricate sear interfaces and pivot points with gun-specific oil. Inspect for debris, wear, or corrosion. Store your AR-15 in a climate-controlled environment to prevent moisture damage. Regular upkeep preserves the trigger’s smooth pull and ensures the forced reset mechanism remains consistent.

Applications and User Testimonials

Competitive shooters praise the Para 15 Trigger for shaving valuable milliseconds off their split times and delivering unmatched control on fast strings of fire. Tactical and self-defense users value the rapid reset for follow-up accuracy in high-stress situations. Recreational shooters enjoy the refined pull and reduced fatigue over long shooting days.
