Franklin Binary Triggers

Does anyone own or have any experience with these binary trigger systems? I just learned about them today and looks like it could be a fun addition to a rifle platform.

They are. I have put in 5 or 6 for friends and they are addictive. You like them so much you forget that you just went through 1000 rds.

Use a extra power recoil spring. If they are out running the trigger then they are not training with it properly.

Sounds like it may be a fun addition to my 300 BLK AR :D

Spending your hard earned money on a training course will do more for you and your rifle than a binary trigger could ever do.

They are a step above the stupidity of a bump stock, IMO.

I was interested, but I can't get over the firing on release. Seems like a safety issue that will eventually catch up to you.

I was thinking the same. Watched a couple videos and saw a couple surprise shots upon release.

It's like anything else just takes a little getting used to.

This is why no organized shooting matches allow them. Lots of ND's.

Like I said it takes some getting use to. Single ok but bianary for one pull you get one and release you get one. Practice, practice, practice. If you can't pay attention then it's not for you.

I never could get it to work right. I will have to play around with it when I get some time.

What type of firearm do you have it installed in?

The fire on release thing is what keeps me away.

Got to try one that a buddy installed in his Bravo.
It's fun for about 15 seconds. Then you realize that you just blew 10 dollars in less than 10 seconds and didn't get more than 3 hits.
Makes the trigger a bit worse than a mil-spec trigger.

I see the fun part of it and if it was cheaper I'd probably get one. But seeing how expensive it is and the ND potential I'll give it a soft pass.

If I can find one cheaper, then probably.
Still isn't as much fun as the brick of doom (MAG-58).
