The FRT-RD3 is Rare Breed Triggers’ 3-position forced reset trigger built specifically for HK roller-delayed firearms — the HK MP5, MP5K, SP5 and SP5K. Part of the full Rare Breed FRT range, it resets after every shot for fast, controlled follow-ups while firing one round per trigger pull, and it is engineered from the ground up for the roller-delayed platform rather than adapted from an AR design.
Legality: one round per trigger pull. 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 confirm yours before buying. You must be of legal age and eligible under federal, state, and local law to purchase.
Unlike AR-pattern FRTs, the FRT-RD3 works with the factory semi-automatic bolt carrier of the MP5/SP5 family. No full-auto carrier is required, and it is compatible with receivers that have factory full-auto carrier denial blocks with no modification to the firearm. As one of the most distinctive forced reset triggers we offer, it will also run with full-auto carriers if you have one, but you don’t need it, giving you simple, plug-and-play installation.
