I'd think they'd need to ensure no out of battery discharge and that the ATF would want it there but I'm curious to hear why you think that's the case. If anything, I suspect that they required the manufacture to use a more permanent attaching method for the components that keep the hammer from dropping before the trigger is released. If said component could be easily removed by simply pushing a pin out, the trigger group could probably be converted to run full auto by simply taking a part out of the assembly. Wes |

You lost me where it was approved, but a change was required. The phrasing doesn't meld so well IMO. Of course, now that the ATF is onboard with the engineering aspect, what could possibly go wrong? Color me skeptical.

Of course, now that the ATF is onboard with the engineering aspect, what could possibly go wrong? Color me skeptical. It's farther then I thought it would go. IMO the concept being approved is great, just because Franklin Armory had to make a change (which they said is already done and ready to be sent out) doesn't mean that other companies can't use a different method to get the same result. The greater implications of the ATF approval that a trigger that fires from pull and from realease is a semi is huge. |

This is just another in a long train of "Can we? Can we?" until the answer is NO. ETA: We may not get the big ugly axe this go-round, but sooner or later- BAM! A reversal. |

If a weapon has a sear which prevents it from firing out of battery, it greatly simplifies safely converting it to fully automatic fire- I have seen an SOT convert a title 1 weapon in a manner similar to what you describe (simply removing a pin or some other simple adjustment) and then registering the weapon as their own manufactured machine gun. Said weapons, which I shall not name, were never recalled or reclassified- rather their designs were quietly changed at a certain cutoff and production continued. There has been great speculation that as tens of thousands of such weapons were sold, ATF simply didn't want to have to track them all down- nor did they want people realizing what they had or why ATF wanted them. So that is my theory. |

| Im no ranger or seal or anything but why are so many people calling this dangerous and comparng it to the Gs3g? The s3g is a totally different concept and the trigger that the G man is gonna make isnt even like the franklin trigger either, only thing they share is they will both go to the third position. Lets keep this an apples to apples comparison |

How is the concept of this trigger system different than the TAC Con?
Going to be firing a TAC Con trigger at a shoot this sunday, will be interesting to see the 2 compared. |
I hated going to weddings. All the grandmas would poke me and say "You're next". They stopped that when I started doing it to them at funerals.

This unit is supposed to drop the hammer when you pull the trigger to the rear, and when you release it forward. The 3MR from Tac-con simply claims to allow you to increase RPM with their assisted reset. |

They are basing the current timeline on the "quick" response of the first sample submission. So in other words, "Soon" |

Their assist helps bump the trigger but it still relies on the way you hold the trigger and the pressure you apply. Different users will get different results depending on finger size, how well they feather the trigger etc. The Franklin is one shot when you pull, one shot when you release in 3rd mode.Think about how fast YOU can manually dump a full 30 round mag. You basically double that speed. |

Imagine a.gun with trigger slap, like one of the AKs that are painful l to shoot.... Now imagine that trigger slap had a spring loading so that it didn't hurt, just helped your finger forward to the reset position. That is what a Taccon trigge does. If you mash the trigger back, the spring isn't strong enough to overcome your finger pull on the trigger, but with a light pull it pushes it back to where you are ready to fire again, instead of having to manually palpitate your finger on the trigger, you only have to pull back, and with the right pressure and rhythm you end up mimicking full auto fire. I like my Taccon trigger, and will be very happy to try the Franklin trigger and hopefully the Gieselle if it is approved. |

With the upcoming court cases its going to be hard to justify the no MG after 922o passed law with approvals for triggers that allow you to shoot at the same number of rounds per minute. I'll bet the Director of the ATF is wishing he had a time machine to go back and kill the bumpfire stock and the Taccon trigger. |

I would definately definately be interested in one of these FCGs, particulary for a 9mm build. For a 5.56 lower that might host a more accurate type upper I would be apt to prefer a really light clean trigger. I figure that I can hammer out 3-400 RPM at a target at close range if I needed too. IMO, that is enough for a rifle chambering.
But for a 9mm, or other pistol cal, which is weak, this trigger would help compensate for the poor effectiveness of handgun cartridges. A 9mm carbine suppressed shooitng 147 g w/ one of these triggers would be about as quite & lethal as a weapon as you could get, a poor man's suppressed SMG. |

Can a 6.5" Saiga 12 reliably run cheap birdshot in MD-20 drums? This one can....

However, the FTB staff have required that we make one change to the design. This change has already been made, and a sample will be shipped to the ATF-FTB in the very near future. We hope that the secondary review doesn't take another 90 days, but we look forward to informing everyone as we progress on this long awaited product." That's great news...I wonder what the change was. If the original design required anything "extra" to keep your weapon from firing out of battery, I'd bet they are making them remove it. I too would be very curious to see a before and after of the original design versus V2.0. Interesting theory...expand on that. I'd think they'd need to ensure no out of battery discharge and that the ATF would want it there but I'm curious to hear why you think that's the case. If anything, I suspect that they required the manufacture to use a more permanent attaching method for the components that keep the hammer from dropping before the trigger is released. If said component could be easily removed by simply pushing a pin out, the trigger group could probably be converted to run full auto by simply taking a part out of the assembly.
