Rare Breed FRT-RD3™ (AMBI) — HK MP5 & SP5 forced reset trigger

Take your HK roller-delayed firearm to the next level with the official Rare Breed FRT-RD3™ (AMBI). This drop-in, duty-grade, two-stage 3-position FRT trigger (Safe / Semi / FRT®) fits the HK MP5, MP5K, SP5 and SP5K, and is 100% made and assembled in the USA. Crafted from high-quality materials including 7075 anodized aluminum, it’s the genuine MP5 forced reset trigger for sale from the patent holder — matched to AMBI grip frames.

How the forced reset trigger works

In FRT® mode, the FRT-RD3™ (AMBI) uses your firearm’s own cycling to drive the trigger forward into its reset position after every shot — so your next round is ready almost as soon as the gun is. The result is a dramatically faster, smoother and more consistent shooting cadence than a standard trigger. Crucially, it stays fully semi-automatic: the trigger fires one round per pull of the trigger, every time, and must fully reset before it can fire again. Want the details?

Legal & shipping

Forced reset triggers are legal under federal law following Rare Breed’s court victory and 2025 settlement with the United States — see our FRT legal status for the full picture.
