FRT-RD3™ (Ambi) Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the HK MP5, MP5K, SP5 & SP5K

Overview

The FRT-RD3™ (ambi) two-stage (3-position) forced reset trigger for the HK MP5, MP5K, SP5 & SP5K represents a precision-engineered upgrade for roller-delayed blowback platforms. Manufactured by Rare Breed, this drop-in trigger assembly delivers a forced-reset operating cycle that combines the tactile feedback of a two-stage trigger with a third, forced-reset position. Designed specifically for the HK MP5, MP5K, SP5, and SP5K, the FRT-RD3™ maintains factory safety compliance while offering shooters a distinct mechanical advantage in rapid follow-up shot placement. Each unit is built to MIL-spec tolerances and uses heat-treated steel components for sustained reliability under high-round-count conditions.

Features & Specs

• True two-stage trigger with a 3-position selector: Safe, Semi-Automatic, and Forced-Reset. The forced-reset position utilizes the bolt carrier’s forward motion to mechanically reset the trigger sear, enabling a faster cyclic rate without modification to the host firearm’s bolt or carrier group.
• Ambidextrous safety selector included; compatible with HK MP5, MP5K, SP5, and SP5K lower receivers. No permanent alteration to the firearm is required for installation. The trigger housing is precision-machined from 7075-T6 aluminum with a hard-coat anodized finish.
• Pull weight: factory-set at approximately 4.5 to 5.5 pounds on the two-stage semi-automatic position. The forced-reset position operates with a consistent, repeatable trigger return that reduces shooter-induced timing error. Includes all necessary springs, pins, and detents.

Who It’s For

This FRT-RD3™ (ambi) two-stage (3-position) forced reset trigger for the HK MP5, MP5K, SP5 & SP5K is intended for experienced shooters who demand enhanced trigger control in a legal, drop-in package. It is suitable for competitive shooters in USPSA, PCC divisions, or outlaw 3-gun matches where forced-reset triggers are permitted. It also serves trained enthusiasts who want faster split times on steel or paper while maintaining a positive, two-stage feel for precision shots. Law enforcement and security professionals who use HK-platform PDWs may also find the forced-reset capability advantageous in controlled training environments. This product is not recommended for novice shooters unfamiliar with forced-reset trigger mechanics.
