FRT-RD3™ (AMBI) Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the HK MP5, MP5K, SP5 & SP5K
The FRT-RD3™ (AMBI) Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger represents a significant advancement in trigger system engineering for the HK MP5, MP5K, SP5, and SP5K platforms. Designed and manufactured by Rare Breed, this forced reset trigger delivers a unique shooting experience by mechanically resetting the trigger forward after each shot, enabling rapid follow-up shots without compromising control. This unit is engineered to function within the strictest tolerances, providing consistent performance in a variety of shooting conditions. As a drop-in upgrade for your HK roller-delayed firearm, the FRT-RD3™ (AMBI) offers a distinct alternative to traditional trigger systems, combining ambidextrous operation with a two-stage, three-position selector.
Overview
The FRT-RD3™ (AMBI) is a forced reset trigger that operates on a patented forced-reset mechanism. Unlike standard triggers that rely on spring tension alone, the FRT-RD3 uses the rearward motion of the bolt to physically push the trigger forward, resetting the sear for the next cycle. This mechanical action allows for a rapid, controlled firing sequence while maintaining the shooter’s ability to interrupt the cycle at any point. The three-position selector offers safe, semi-automatic, and forced-reset fire modes, providing the user with tactical flexibility. The ambidextrous design ensures left-handed shooters maintain full functionality without modification.
This trigger is specifically engineered for the HK MP5, MP5K, SP5, and SP5K platforms. It is not a generic component and requires no permanent modification to the host firearm. The unit is assembled with precision-machined steel components and a corrosion-resistant finish to withstand heavy use. The two-stage pull weight is factory-set to approximately 4.5 pounds on the first stage and 3.5 pounds on the second stage, delivering a crisp, predictable break. The forced-reset cycle is consistent across all ammunition types within SAAMI specifications.

Who It’s For
The FRT-RD3™ (AMBI) is engineered for experienced shooters who demand advanced trigger technology for competition, training, or recreational use. It is ideal for HK MP5 platform enthusiasts who want to maximize their firearm’s cyclic potential without converting to a full-automatic configuration. This trigger is intended for legal use on semi-automatic firearms in jurisdictions where forced reset triggers are permitted. It is not recommended for novice shooters unfamiliar with forced-reset mechanics, as the trigger requires deliberate training to operate safely and effectively. The ambidextrous design makes it suitable for tactical applications where both support-hand and strong-hand operation are necessary.
