The AS Designs MP5 Super Safety Lower is the most capable drop-in active reset lower available for the MP5 platform. CNC billet machined from 7075-T6 aluminum, Type III hardcoat anodized, and built around the Hoffman Tactical Super Safety with M2 tool steel internals — this complete kit gives you everything needed to run an active reset system in your MP5 host gun without touching your upper or permanently modifying your firearm.
Available for six host gun configurations. Select your variant from the dropdown before adding to cart.

7075-T6 aluminum Slip Trip V5 — the interface between the AR-style lower and your MP5 upper. Installs into the upper.
4140 steel, heat treated, oxide coated. Includes ejector lever nut, bushing, and 2x 3mm screws.

How the Super Safety Works in an MP5
Trigger blocked. No fire. Standard safe position.
Standard semi-auto fire. Trigger fires and resets manually as normal.
As the bolt carrier cycles, the Super Safety cam mechanically forces the trigger forward before the bolt returns to battery — enabling the fastest follow-up fire your trigger finger can produce.
Lower Construction
- 7075-T6 billet aluminum — the highest-strength aluminum alloy used in firearm construction, CNC machined to tight tolerances
- Type III hardcoat anodized — mil-spec surface treatment for maximum hardness and corrosion resistance
- Rev. 2 ejector lever mount — updated design with 4140 steel heat-treated ejector lever, custom bushing, and nut for reliable case ejection
- Laser engraved markings — SEMI - SUPER - SAFE positions clearly marked on the lower
- AR-15 FCG compatible — accepts standard AR-15 fire control group components, giving you access to the full aftermarket trigger ecosystem
- Geissele and other premium AR triggers compatible — if you want to run this lower with a Geissele SSA-E or similar without the Super Safety, it works for that too
