I put a Fostech echo 2 in a DPMS AR-15. Lots of fun! Semi-practical for two round burst. Liked it on a bipod at the Big Sandy - made tracers fun at the aerial targets. Went ahead and bought a USGI (Cheap Palmetto) bolt and now upgraded to a H2 buffer because I was encountering issues (not often for fun but want better reliability). I have not tried it yet with the heavier buffer.

The echo doesn't have the binary overrun problem on AR's. it's really fun for 2-3 round bursts, yet the Echo semi auto trigger feels better than Binary trigger on AR's. My Binary in my MP5 is spot on but stupid money, however.

Went through a few hundred rounds in both a 16in and pistol AR with no issues.

I have the Echo and double taps are very effective. Press/release is faster than any semi only trigger. With the option of semi only makes this an ideal setup in my opinion.

That Echo trigger looks pretty slick

I have a Franklin binary in a 9mm AR. Purely for fun, and it’s not something I would rely on for home/self defense.

That's twice you've posted that in this very thread, is there an actual reason other than kidding around?
He thinks it will get him access to the classifieds. It won't. And I went and deleted a bunch of his useless posts.

These will probably end up going the way of the Bump Stock.

It's just a gimmick. Perhaps fun to play with, but nothing I'd consider actually keeping on a rifle/whatever.

Train with a mil-spec. Get good. Then get a Geiselle or something equivalent if you want something nicer.

I was thinking about getting the HK one but then saw the price is $699.00!

Damn! That's 'SPENSIVE!

I am right there with you on that. I’m not sure why the HK version is so much more than the AR, AK and CZ versions.

Agreed! $200 more than any other model.

Maybe they think all HK owners are rich. :D :|

That’s my thought exactly, but they would be wrong. Even the pistol braces for the HKs seem to be the most expensive ones.
