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

Rare Breed continues to push the boundaries of trigger engineering with the FRT-RD3™ (SEF) Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger, a precision-machined drop-in assembly engineered exclusively for the HK MP5, MP5K, SP5, and SP5K platforms. Designed for shooters who demand rapid, repeatable shot cycles without compromising the tactile feedback of a two-stage pull, this trigger system integrates Rare Breed’s patented forced-reset technology into the iconic roller-delayed blowback system. The FRT-RD3™ (SEF) Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the HK MP5, MP5K, SP5 & SP5K represents a significant advancement in semi-automatic trigger performance, offering three distinct selector positions: safe, semi-automatic, and forced-reset mode. Each component is CNC-machined from billet steel and hard-coat anodized to military-grade specifications, ensuring dimensional consistency and long-term durability under sustained firing schedules.

Overview

The FRT-RD3™ (SEF) Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the HK MP5, MP5K, SP5 & SP5K is a direct replacement for standard SEF (Sicher, Einzelfeuer, Feuerstoss) trigger packs, maintaining factory geometry while introducing an entirely new operating mechanism. Unlike conventional two-stage triggers, the forced-reset system mechanically resets the trigger forward immediately after each shot, reducing lock time and enabling a significantly faster cyclic rate. The two-stage design provides a distinct take-up wall at approximately 2.5 pounds of pull weight, followed by a crisp second-stage break at 4.5 pounds, with the forced-reset function engaging only after the bolt carrier completes its rearward travel. This trigger is not a conversion device; it operates exclusively in semi-automatic mode and complies with all applicable federal regulations as a drop-in component.

Who It’s For

The FRT-RD3™ (SEF) Two-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the HK MP5, MP5K, SP5 & SP5K is intended for experienced shooters and competitive marksmen who have a thorough understanding of forced-reset trigger mechanics and the associated safety protocols.
