Franklin Armory just released a new version of their Binary trigger. The AR-ELITE Binary Trigger is for AR platforms and now offers more options than the basic Binary kits.

When you bought a Franklin Armory Binary kit before you had to decide between a straight and curved trigger. I know because I just ordered one, and ended up going with a curved one myself. With the AR-ELITE kit you actually get both trigger styles so you can try both, and see which works best for you. Or you can swap out if you use one for a while and decide you want to try the other style.

In addition to coming with bother triggers, the AR-ELITE kits also come with multiple hammer, trigger and buffer springs. This will allow you to fine-tune the Binary trigger for your particular AR, in whatever caliber you’re running. The new more modular set up also paves the way for future custom configurations, such as new color anodized triggers and selector levers.
The AR-ELITE package will be replacing the previous separate AR-C1 and AR-S1 models. You might expect the new enhanced package to cost more, but Franklin Armory has actually kept the cost the same. MSRP is $429.99, which is the same as the old AR-C1 and AR-S1 kits.

Pass.
I recently bought one of these for my AR (gen3 flat trigger). No other reason than I thought it was neat. It works exactly as advertised and was easy to install just like other triggers (I had built 2 ARs previous to this). I just have to wait to really run it at full speed because the current range I go to is a stickler for shooting speed. I believe it was worth the money. I didn’t put the selector sticker on because I didn’t want to advertise to the range staff that it had a third position (that is also one reason why I picked a flat trigger. It is different from every other trigger I own.)
