Franklin Binary Triggers

[Joelgas1]

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

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.

 

[Elk34]

Blahblah blah

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

 

[Elk34]

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?

 

[Tim McBride]

The fire on release thing is what keeps me away.

 

[792mauser]

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).

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.

 

[CappnTripps]

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

 

[slapiron]

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.

 

[Joelgas1]

That Echo trigger looks pretty slick
