Franklin Armory
Overview
The Franklin Armory BFSIII HK-C1 Binary Trigger is designed specifically for AR-15 platforms, offering a unique binary firing mode that allows the shooter to fire on both pull and release of the trigger. This feature enhances the firing rate and provides a different shooting experience, giving builders the ability to achieve rapid follow-up shots. This trigger is often found in builds featuring a mid-length gas system and chambered in 5.56 NATO, making it a popular choice for those looking to optimize their performance on the range.
Franklin Armory BFSIII HK-C1 Binary Trigger - 05-50000-Black ranked #46 of the 240 triggers builders added on GunPartPicker in August 2026. Builders have been adding it to their builds on GunPartPicker since January 2026. All time, it ranks #30 of the 442 triggers builders have added. Builds with this trigger are mostly chambered in 5.56 NATO (80%, then .223 Remington 20%), split between mid-length (50%) and rifle-length (50%) gas systems, and split between AR-15 (56%) and AR-10 (44%).
Availability is good: it was in stock at one retailer or another nearly every day in August 2026, and today 3 of the 5 retailers we track have it in stock. Prices barely moved in August 2026, holding around $629.99, so there haven't been real sales lately.
