The US PATENT and Trademark Office awarded multiple patents to Franklin armory. Gotta wonder how this is going to affect the Binary Market.
Minden, NV, 1BApril 27, 2018 – On April 24th, 2018, the US Patent and Trademark Office awarded two
patents to Franklin Armory® for their innovative Binary Firing System™. Patent numbers 9,952,012 and
9,952,013 demonstrated a total of 62 claims awarded to Franklin Armory® for their unique design! While
the various claims cover a vast array of pull-release technology, the chief claims include safety
technology to allow discounting of the release round by simply modulating the selector, as well as a
lock-out provision to prevent switching to binary mode after the trigger has been depressed and held
back in semiautomatic mode. Other claims featured parallel disconnectors controlled by a single, multicam
selector as well as the ability to select from safe, to semiautomatic, to binary mode through the use
of a single selector.
Jay Jacobson, President of Franklin Armory, stated that, “Our initial presentation to the market was that
the BFS™ is ‘selectable and safe.’ We have always strongly believed that these safety and convenience
features are what distinguish our products in the marketplace, and now the US Patent Office has
concurred.”
These are the first of many pending patents to be awarded to Franklin Armory® for Binary trigger
technologies. Well before the introduction of the BFSIII™ in 2015 more patents were filed to cover the
new design and new features. The BFSIII™ allows for ease of installation and multiple platform
compatibility. Franklin Armory® has already released 5+ triggers using their patented technologies with
more to come.
“The driving force behind this company’s success is our ability to aggressively brainstorm new unique
ideas, pursue them, and protect them. Having two more patents granted is not only a well-received
recognition for our ingenuity but a motivator to keep that drawing board dripping in ink and new ideas
flowing off the pages.” Says Ryan Fellows Chief of Design for Franklin Armory®

The Frankling Armory Binary Trigger System Trigger!
This trigger system does not give you fully automatic capabilities. It does however increase your rate of fire by offering a 3 position on your selector which fires on not only the pull but the Release as well which increases your rate of fire.
Here is how it works: The three position selector allows the user to switch from Safe, Semiautomatic, or binary. In Binary, the firearm is Fires on the pull and the release of the trigger. However, when the trigger is released, the hammer will fall forward and hit the firing pin. If the shooter were to have an emergency cease fire after pulling the trigger, all the shooter has to do is rotate the selector back to semi and release the trigger and it will not fire.
If your worried about installation. It is pretty much the same as any other trigger. The only notable difference was the addition of spacers on either side of the trigger group and a slave pin that gets knocked out as you install the trigger pin. Fear not, If you have Anti Rotation pins you want to use they will work just fine with the binary system. Just be careful not to get snagged on the IDS spring.
With an MSRP of $399.99 The Franklin Armory Binary Trigger is far far less expensive than trying to get a hold of a auto sear. There are even videos online where shooters compare, if not race their binary triggers against fully automatic weapons and keep up. One was actually able to shoot slightly faster!
