Reviews & Ratings for Franklin Armory BFSIII PC-C1 Binary Triggers — 44 reviews — Page 1

I have never had any issues with OpticsPlanet products, but read the comment below and make up your own minds. There is a problem where the binary selector doesn't work; it keeps firing in semi-auto mode. If you spend nearly $300 on a product only for it not to deliver what was promised, then simply don't spend the money on that upgrade. THAT SAID, I emailed OpticsPlanet, and they offered to have me return the product with a prepaid shipping label—kudos to them—buuuut I am an extremely busy person, and wasting time going to the post office and handling all that isn't feasible for me. So, I called Franklin Armory; the representative who assisted me (relatively quickly) was very polite. After hearing about my issue, they walked me through some troubleshooting steps, but the problem wasn't resolved. I called back to explain that the fix hadn't worked, so Franklin Armory—honoring the warranty at no cost—is sending me a spring that they believe is the likely culprit. A few days after the call, I received an email notification that the Trigger Spring had been shipped. As of this review (09/19/2026), I am still waiting for it to arrive, so I can't yet say for sure how good or recommendable the product is; however, I have Franklin Armory Binary Triggers installed on three of my AR-15s (chambered in .300 Blackout and 5.56), and they have worked well so far.

After having good luck with other binary triggers I figured I would give this a go. I installed this trigger in my Ruger PC Carbine following the instructions closely. Semi auto works normally, but binary only fires on pull (like normal semi auto). No returns were allowed as I lost the factory packaging, and I installed it. I tried for hours, and hours to get it to work, and it refuses to work. Since it is obviously a gamble on whether it will work or not, this piece of junk should cost no more than $50. Franklin Armory customer service is useless, too.

I love it, I got an open box special and it is so fun to shoot. Installation was a tad tricky, but basically the same as the binary trigger for the 10/22.

There are several problems that need changing. The bolt release and the specification on the original housing may not be up to specification for the trigger to work correctly.

This is the 3rd Franklin Armory trigger I've purchased, with this one being for my new PC Carbine. The others were for a 10/22 build along with another for an AR-15 setup. Simple engineering designs and if one is familiar enough with working a bit on trigger sections these are fairly easy to install and add a new dimension to getting that big grin on your face at the range. One suggestion to test binary mode post installation is to rack a magazine loaded with snap caps and cycle through the action a few times to ensure fire on pull/release of the trigger to test functionality as opposed to the range and live ammo. This also helps the new installation settle in a bit without being subjected excess force if there should be an issue. Have fun!

Love them all. they work just as advertised. just a heads up, only one part of the installation is a pain, installing the selector detent! Highly recommend

you burn a lot of ammo, but soooo much fun!! watch the youtube video from frnaklin to install. and oh yeah, it takes some dexterity and perseverance to get the safety detent in

Easy to install, freaking fun to shoot. YouTube video walkthrough. I didn’t do it as fast as the guy from Franklin armory but it didn’t take me much longer. You will not regret buying this trigger.

Lots of fun. I watched the Franklin armory install video online and it went pretty easily. Just make sure you put the safety in the correct way.
My only real issue is a noticeable increase in trigger weight, but the fun factor helps outweigh that.

Okay so after ready other reviews I decided to give it a go. Have to say it is fun to shoot and gives the PCC another option for launching lead. Great product although still in testing state but functions well. Optics Plant had a deal to good to pass up and as usual fast shipping. Franklin Armory quality piece.
