    Has anyone had any experience with the Franklin Armory Binary 3 position trigger for AR's? Is this a drop in trigger or does it need to be installed by a gunsmith. Any info will be appreciated. Thanks.

    Most definitely does not need to be installed by a smith. It's no more difficult than any other two stage trigger to install. Just follow the instructions and all is well.

    From internet reviews, the Fostech echo II trigger works better. I have not tried the Franklin, but I HAVE tried the Fistech, and it worked incredibly well.

    I have the BFS3 in my AR9. Its slightly more difficult to install than a regular trigger but if you follow the given directions and you have any mechanical skills you shouldnt have any issues. My friend had the Fostech and it was fun but would hickup sometimes. I wanted to try something different since I had someone to help compare. After trying my BFS3 he has 1 now. Its a seriously fun upgrade.

    I accidentally had a binary trigger once. Didn't adjust the little allen screws properly on a regular drop-in trigger and wound up with a trigger that functioned like a binary trigger. It was fun for a minute! I fixed it as soon as I got home though.

    I think the Fostech is $480. I've being eyeing them for a while, just haven't pulled the trigger yet..... yes, I said it. I kind of like the idea of that versus full auto. If I could afford a full auto AR platform, I think burst fire would make more sense anyway.

    If you’re going to play/dabble, the Fostech is way more forgiving. Both are bumpstockish toys, but to each his own. With the Fostech, though, you get a really good trigger in the semi mode, as opposed to the other. Just my two cents, having played/dabbled with both, to save the five figure plus $200 way to reach happiness.

    I know they don't require a Smith to install. We had an officer show up to patrol rifle school with a rifle he installed one in. He was quickly pulled off the line and that trigger ripped out...haha.

    If you shop around, you can find them for UNDER $400

    I have a few. I am running them in my 9mm Ar's because in order to run the Fostech the 9mm bolt has to be modified. My Cz Scorpion loves the one in it and my grandson loves the one in the 15-22

    Thanks for the info. The one I was looking at was the BFS111 for the 5.56. From the catalog pictures it looks a little different than yours for the 9. Glad to hear good things about them.
