The Para 15 Trigger is a drop-in forced reset trigger for the AR-15, engineered for fast, controlled follow-up shots while firing one round for every pull of the trigger. Its responsive forced reset resets the trigger the moment the bolt carrier returns to battery, so you stay on target between shots.
Legality: the Para 15 fires a single round per pull and, after the May 2025 DOJ settlement, forced reset triggers of this type are not classified as machine guns under federal law. State and local laws vary, so verify yours before buying. You must be of legal age and eligible under federal, state, and local law to purchase.

Built for responsive shooting
The Para 15 pairs a clean trigger feel with forced-reset speed, making it a strong choice for competition, training, or fast range work. One of all our forced reset triggers, it installs as a drop-in unit on a standard AR-15 lower and runs best with a full-auto-compatible bolt carrier group and a heavier buffer. It slots neatly into the wider AR-15 trigger range for shooters building out a fast-cycling setup.
