    I'm about 45-60 minutes from them, pending traffic. For lowers, I go to them. They are worth the drive to me.

    Did you meet Brutus?

    I did indeed he was there walking around. Only came out for a bit though, they were about an 2 hours from me and the drive down was scenic so not to bad. I plan on going back for future purchases. Now to test this new rig out :)

    Here is my Can Cannon. It is mostly AR. The main difference is the 2.5 inch hole in the front. LOL

    How's that Binary trigger working?

    Mine is the one with the fire control group comes as a drop-in pack. This was the Gen II. It does not look like you can buy them from Franklin any more. They do sell the Gen III version now. Just FYI, the GEN I was only available as a complete lower receiver and if I recall was very expensive. Not to say the trigger alone is cheap. LOL

    The GEN II has a hammer catch that was suppose to be a "safety" feature to keep the hammer from going full auto. This is called a BUD. The acronym escapes me at the moment. Back Up Disconnector? Maybe? This will cause a little quirky operation. If you pull the trigger with the bolt locked back (like if you are doing a mag dump and pull the trigger after your magazine is empty with the bolt locked back) you will release one of the sears but the BUD will hang onto the hammer. When you put a fresh magazine in. The next time you pull the trigger, all you will do is release the hammer from the BUD and catch on the sear. You will not get a fire on the trigger pull. Then, when you release the trigger, the rifle will fire. This is not a huge problem but it could startle you if you are not expecting it to work that way.

    Also one thing to note on the Franklin Binary, when using a .22 conversion, the .22 bolt is cut in a way to cause the hammer to engage the BUD every time. This makes the system a Release Fire Only trigger. To get a .22 bolt to work, you have to machine the bolt bottom so it does not push the hammer as far down and not engage the BUD. Again, this is only on the GEN II system.

    The Gen III comes as individual pieces of the fire control group and I believe it uses a standard semi hammer. The BUD is not part of it's design. This might be the best Franklin trigger. I may get one in the future to see what it is like.
