- Drop-in design uses HK-specific pin diameters and housing dimensions for direct fit in MR223 and MR556 lower receivers without adapters or modifications.
- Manufactured from 4140 steel with QPQ nitride finish; internal springs are chrome-silicon wire for sustained cycle life beyond 20,000 rounds.
- Trigger pull weight factory-set at 4.5 to 5.5 pounds with minimal overtravel; sear engagement surfaces are wire-EDM cut to 0.001-inch tolerance.
- Includes anti-walk trigger and hammer pins with KNS Precision-style retention; all fasteners are Grade 8 zinc-plated steel.
The FRT-MR3™ single-stage (3-position) forced reset trigger for the HK MR223 & HK MR556 operates by using the bolt carrier’s forward motion to reset the trigger sear, allowing the shooter to maintain finger contact through the reset cycle. This mechanical action is entirely spring-driven and does not rely on gas system tuning or buffer weight changes. Each unit ships with a printed installation guide, a Rare Breed decal, and a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.
Who It’s For
This trigger is intended for experienced shooters who own a HK MR223 or MR556 and seek a forced reset system that preserves the original rifle’s reliability and accuracy. It suits competition shooters in open divisions where forced reset triggers are permitted, as well as collectors and enthusiasts who want a documented, production trigger from a US manufacturer. The FRT-MR3™ single-stage (3-position) forced reset trigger for the HK MR223 & HK MR556 is not recommended for builds using aftermarket lower receivers with non-standard pin spacing or trigger pocket dimensions. Always verify your lower receiver’s compatibility with Rare Breed’s published fitment notes before installation. For duty or self-defense applications, confirm that your agency or local jurisdiction authorizes forced reset trigger systems.
