FRT-MR3™
Single-Stage (3-Position) Forced Reset Trigger for the HK MR223 & HK MR556

Take your HK MR223 and HK MR556 to the next level with the official Rare Breed Triggers FRT-MR3™. This drop-in, duty-grade 3-position Forced Reset Trigger (Safe/Semi/FRT®) is 100% manufactured and assembled in the USA. The FRT-MR3™ includes 3-position ambidextrous A1 (0/90/180) and A4 (0/45/90) safety bodies and anti-walk pins for a secure, hassle-free installation.

Performance on the Range
Enhance your shooting experience with the FRT-MR3™ Forced Reset Trigger. Designed to accelerate follow-up shots while remaining within legal parameters, the innovative Forced Reset system resets the trigger after each shot, enabling faster, more consistent firing. Each trigger pull fires one round, ensuring full legal compliance while delivering improved speed and performance. Perfect for competitive shooting, tactical training, or maximizing your HK MR223 and HK MR556’s potential.

Innovative Design and Features

  • 3-Position Functionality: The FRT-MR3™ features Safe, Semi, and Forced Reset modes, controlled via a 3-position, ambidextrous safety selector. Whether you’re focused on precision shooting or rapid-fire drills, this system adapts to your needs, offering versatility for both left- and right-handed shooters.
  • Effortless Installation: Designed for easy installation on MIL-SPEC AR-15 lowers, the FRT-MR3™ includes anti-walk trigger pins, providing secure attachment and preventing unwanted movement during extended use. The A1 (0/90/180) and A4 (0/45/90) safety bodies seamlessly integrate into HK MR223 and MR556 lower receivers while reusing the stock levers.

Durable Construction for Long-Lasting Performance
Crafted from high-quality materials, including 7075 anodized aluminum and heat-treated 4140 and S7 steel, the FRT-MR3™ is built to endure heavy use. This robust construction ensures reliability and longevity, allowing you to push your HK to its limits with confidence.

Compatibility with the HK MR223 and HK MR556
The FRT-MR3™ is specifically engineered to operate with the factory semi-automatic bolt carrier group (BCG) used in the HK MR223 and HK MR556 platforms. For that reason, the FRT-MR3™ is compatible with the HK MR223 and MR556 uppers when used with the original, factory-supplied semi-auto BCG. For optimal performance and reliability, we recommend retaining the factory buffer and recoil spring. Please note: The FRT-MR3™ is not compatible with HK416 or BRN4 full-auto bolt carrier groups.

Unmatched Speed and Control
The FRT-MR3™ is ideal for shooters seeking speed and precision. By mechanically resetting the trigger after each shot, then locking the trigger from being pulled until the BCG returns to battery, this system allows for faster follow-up shots without needing advanced techniques. The forced reset mechanism ensures the trigger returns to the non-firing position after each round, requiring the shooter to pull the trigger again, offering full control over each shot.

Why Choose the FRT-MR3™ Forced Reset Trigger?
If you’re looking to boost your HK MR223 and HK MR556’s performance, the FRT-MR3™ Forced Reset Trigger is the ultimate upgrade. With its rapid-fire capability, secure anti-rotation design, and seamless compatibility with the HK MR223 and HK MR556 platforms, this trigger provides a superior shooting experience for competition, tactical use, or range drills. Unlock the full potential of your HK MR223 and HK MR556 with the FRT-MR3™.

  1. Jesse

    The MR3 has proven to be a badass option for the MR556. It runs exactly the way RB said it would. It doesn’t sacrifice the quality of the standard semi-auto mode just to deliver that wickedly awesome FRT mode. In fact, the semi-auto mode is so nice that the Rare Breed FRT-MR3 belongs in every HK MR556 and MR223. Come on HK, get these guys on the phone and cut a deal.

  2. Blake

    I’m an HK guy, so I’m usually pretty hesitant to mess with anything that already works. The MR3 changed my mind. It feels substantial, intentional, and completely at home in the MR556. Even normal semi shooting feels like Rare Breed actually cared about building a legit semi-auto trigger first.

    Then you give that selector one more click and the MR556 turns into German engineering on spring break. This thing is an absolute blast.

  3. Dustin

    The MR3 gets my approval! The break in semi is so fresh and so clean. It’s heavy duty and clearly built for hard use. And then there’s the brrrtt position which is tons ‘o fun. Rare Breed, you’ve got a happy customer here.

  4. GD

    The MR3 is a solid piece of gear and I am happy to have it in my MR223. The housing dropped in and fits like a glove. And, the trigger pull is better than I could have hoped for. Happy with it all around.

  5. Luke

    The single-stage trigger pull of the MR3 is like glassssssss. Semi feels so good to me. I bought the Rare Breed MR3 for the badass forced reset third position but I’ve been won over by the high quality single stage trigger pull in semi. It’s a 10 outta 10. I am so happy!

  6. Tyler

    Dropped the MR3 in my MR556 and this thing is 100% legit. Semi is dialed, everything feels solid, and the whole setup has that premium HK vibe without feeling like somebody tried too hard. Then you click into that third position and the trigger is in a completely different mood. Here’s a big hell yeah to the boys over at Rare Breed.

  7. Jake

    The FRT-MR3 is exactly the kind of upgrade the HK MR platform deserves. What impressed me most is that Rare Breed clearly approached this as an HK-specific engineering problem. The operation feels deliberate, the controls integrate naturally with the rifle, and the standard semi-auto pull is a meaningful improvement in its own right.

    The third position is obviously what gets most of the attention, and it does not disappoint. But what makes the MR3 exceptional is that the rest of the trigger does not feel compromised in order to provide that capability. It is refined when you want refinement and a completely different experience when you want something more. That combination is what makes the MR3 such an impressive piece of engineering.

  8. Blake

    Happy MR556 owner here. The MR3 is ridiculously awesome! It fits nicely, the pull in semi feels amaze-balls, and FRT mode is always a good time. Pretty easy review to write! Thank you Rare Breed!

  9. Perry

    The FRT-MR3 is the upgrade the HK MR platform has always needed. Nothing else on the market compares to the FRT-MR3. I’ve had it a few months now and zero malfunctions. I am most impressed with the confidence that comes with running this trigger. You can bet your ass that it’s gonna run and that is worth every penny! Do not hesitate.

  10. Benny

    I threw this savage into my MR556 and damn it if I am not impressed. This thing is built to run. You can tell that RB didn’t cut any corners at all and this thing wasn’t rushed to market. You can tell they took their time because this thing is so well built and feels solid as hell. FRT mode is lit AF but even outside FRT mode, the normal trigger pull is good enough to be a real upgrade on its own. This thing is so tough!

  11. Mr_Wright

    Put this in my HK MR556 and it’s been a great upgrade. I am a fan of the curved trigger. It feels natural, and semi is noticeably better than the factory HK trigger. Everything feels solid and works like it should. Very happy with it. Great job Rare Breed!

  12. Malcolm

    I was mainly looking for a solid forced reset trigger option without having to change the feel of the platform. The RB FRT keeps the HK controls familiar. The mechanical feel of the FRT in regular semi-auto mode is much sharper than the original. Rare Breed nailed this one! The selector movement is positive, and the whole unit feels like it was meant to be. The machining and finish are clean, and the controls feel tight and purposeful. Bravo Zulu Rare Breed!

  13. Jace

    I ain’t gonna lie, I was a little sketchy about ordering this FRT cuz it’s so expensive but you know I only want the best. Most of my homeboys are running standard AR’s but you know I gotta show up with the HK to show em all what’s up. This thing is legit! And everybody I let run it was lit up.

    Yeah, it ain’t cheap, but you can tell where the money went. It’s straight up nasty!

  14. Damon

    Rare Breed got the important details right on this model. The MR3 is better designed than the factory OEM HK trigger. I’ve got mine running in an MR556 with a Huxwrx Flow556k. It does not come across as a generic AR trigger adapted to fit. It was obvious that the trigger was seriously well built before I even installed it. But after installation, it proved to be a work horse as soon as I started sending rounds downrange. I am impressed to say the least.

  15. Damon

    Rare Breed got the important details right on this model. The MR3 feels like it was specifically designed around this HK platform. The MR3 is far from a generic AR trigger and it is so much better than the OEM trigger. It’s not gimmicky whatsoever. This FRT is top notch and has earned a permanent spot in this particular rifle

  16. BYSTOK_shooter

    A fantastic product — easy to install and it just plain works! Thanks for a great HK platform product! 6 stars as well! Rare Breed is the only name I trust for aftermarket triggers on my HK MR platform rifles. I have now recommended this trigger to everyone in my shooting group.

  17. CJ

    Needs 6 stars! Absolutely perfect function! It has a 45-degree position that matches the pictograph in my HK MR556! Semi is crisp and clean. FRT mode is incredible. I passed it around at a range day and every single person who shot it asked for the URL. Rare Breed, you guys absolutely nailed it with the FRT-MR3.

  18. Kevin T

    I already had the curved FRT-MR3 and was skeptical about the flat version. I’ve always been a little hesitant to try a flat trigger. Well, I was wrong. After giving it a shot, I feel like the flat trigger blade provides for more of a noticeably consistent trigger pull. Just like the curved MR3, the Semi-auto mode with the flat trigger blade is exceptional. It is crisp and repeatable. Forced reset mode is incredible. I love this trigger!

  19. Andrew

    So few companies offer high-quality triggers for the HK MR556. Not only is the FRT-MR3 awesome in forced reset mode but the quality of the standard semi-auto mode is exceptional. Based on reviews of your products, I fully expected the MR3 to be good but I never expected it to be this good. I am truly impressed. Well done guys!

  20. Wesley

    I am so excited to have this FRT-MR3 installed in my MR556. I finally took it to the range last weekend and the results were outstanding. The trigger functions perfectly in all three positions. Of course, safe is safe. That would be a bad one to mess up. Semi-auto is better than the OEM factory trigger. And FRT mode on this piston-driven monster is an experience unlike anything I’ve experienced with an AR. Cannot wait to put more rounds through it. Rare Breed absolutely delivered for the HK MR platform.

  21. Rich

    This is by far the best FRT I have ever experienced shooting. The semi-auto trigger pull and break on the HK MR platform is on par with the best triggers on the market. The FRT-MR3 is absolutely amazing. I love my MR556 even more now.

  22. Jonah

    So few companies even offer triggers for the HK MR platform. Rare Breed not only offers one but they offer the best one on the market by a wide margin. It has a 45-degree position that matches the pictograph on my MR556 A4 perfectly. FRT mode is on a completely different level. I passed it around at our shooting club and every single person asked for the website. Rare Breed, you absolutely nailed it.

  23. Grant

    I’ve been shooting HK rifles for over a decade and the FRT-MR3 is the best trigger upgrade I’ve ever installed in any of them. Semi-auto mode is genuinely better than factory. In FRT mode, the MR556 is transformed. I run mine with a Huxwrx Flow556k and I absolutely love it. It breaks my heart to see so many other so called “forced reset trigger companies” manufacturing and selling trash. Most of them haven’t designed anything. They haven’t created anything. They haven’t innovated anything. They’re all knocking each other off and selling the same trash at dirt cheap prices. For many of these fly-by-nighters, it’s a race to the bottom. I will not disagree that Rare Breed products are expensive but once you get your hands on one, you will quickly see the difference. These guys have put so much time and energy into design, development, and production. If you want quality, buy Rare Breed! These guys are the real deal!

  24. Kyle

    My MR556 has never been more fun to shoot than it is with the FRT-MR3. The trigger pull in standard semi is beautiful. FRT mode on this rifle is smooth and manageable even in rapid strings of fire. Installation was simple and only took me about 15 minutes. I am extremely proud of this rifle. I’ve got one of the nicest rifles available in the market and it’s running the nicest trigger as well. Rare Breed is the absolute best!

  25. JC

    As an HK guy through and through, I was skeptical that any aftermarket trigger could improve on the factory pull. The FRT-MR3 changed my mind completely. Semi-auto mode is superb and in my humble opinion, better than factory. And FRT mode runs like a finely tuned machine! I am extremely happy with my decision to try Rare Breed.

  26. Shane B

    Best money I’ve ever spent on my MR223. The FRT-MR3 installs perfectly. It fits like it was designed by HK engineers. Semi-auto mode has a clean and predictable break that is wayyy better than the factory trigger. In FRT mode, the gun absolutely rips. Needs 6 stars!

  27. Brett A

    Finally found the trigger upgrade my MR556 deserved. Installation of the FRT-MR3 was a breeze. Not that there is anything wrong with the OEM trigger in the MR556 but I have to be honest and say that even the trigger pull in standard semi-auto mode is noticeably better than factory HK. FRT mode on a piston-driven gun is completely different from a DI AR, It’s more controlled and smooth. Rare Breed absolutely nailed the HK MR platform.

  28. Austin

    Finally found a worthy upgrade for my HK MR556. The FRT-MR3 is exactly what this platform needed. The trigger fits into the receiver like it was made by HK. Semi-auto mode is smooth and crisp with a clean break — honestly better than factory. Forced reset mode on a piston gun feels completely different from an AR — more controlled, very smooth, incredibly satisfying. The rifle just sits still and eats! Amazing!

  29. Brandon

    The FRT-MR3 is without question the best aftermarket trigger available for the HK MR platform. Installation was simple. It only took about 15 minutes. Semi-auto is exceptional and genuinely better than the factory HK trigger. In FRT mode, the MR556 absolutely rips. Have run about 1,000 rounds through it across multiple range sessions. If you own an MR556 or MR223, this is a must-buy. Period.

  30. Garrett

    Bought my FRT-MR3 as a birthday gift to myself and it was 100% worth it. Installation was straightforward — maybe 20 minutes with Rare Breed’s video guide. The semi-auto pull is absolutely butter smooth and the break is crisp. Ran it for the first time this past weekend and went through 600 rounds of 5.56 without any issues. In FRT mode, the rifle absolutely flies. My shooting buddy immediately ordered one for his MR223 on the drive home. Do not hesitate.

  31. Scott

    Been running an HK MR556 for quite a while now and never thought a drop-in trigger could make that much of a difference. I was wrong. The FRT-MR3 installed without any drama and fits like it belongs there. In semi-auto, it is smoother and crisper than the factory HK trigger. Forced reset is something else entirely. Rare Breed absolutely nailed it with this one!

  32. JBB

    Rare Breed is the OG in the forced reset trigger market! You weren’t just first, but you also make the best FRT there are available. Your original FRT-15 was the first ever FRT available on the commercial market and you guys deserve all the respect in the world for the commitment you guys made when standing your ground and fighting the government to ensure FRTs were legal for all of us to own. You guys are amazing! I can’t wait to see what new FRT models you bring to market in the future.

  33. JJ

    I already loved my HK MR556 but after adding the Rare Breed FRT-MR556, I love it even more. This rifle is the hammer everyone needs in their life. Simply amazing!

  34. Ross (verified owner)

    I installed the Rare Breed MR3 in my HK MR556 A4 and tool it to the range this past Saturday for the first time.

    This thing absolutely rips! In the semi automatic setting, it is a better trigger than the factory HK. I passed it around to a number of different folks to give them an opportunity to do some mag dumps. It just ran. It did not matter who was shooting it or if it was braced on the magazine as a bipod etc. She just ran.

    I will be getting a second one and building out a second MR 556.

  35. Jon

    The quality of your FRT for the HK MR556 is top tier! It is amazing!

  36. Andrew

    So few companies offer high-quality triggers for the HK MR556. Not only is the FRT-MR3 awesome in forced reset mode, the quality of the standard semi-auto mode is exceptional.
