| I'm trying to be unique with my next build and am looking at the fostech echo trigger. Does it seem justifiable to buy at that price or just useless? Also, if I chose to go that route, should I get a nicer bcg? I have been looking at salient arms and they look pretty nice. Any input would be appreciated. |

From the Fostech website:
THE ECHO TRIGGER IS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE ONLY ON A PRE-ORDER BASIS. BY PLACING YOUR DEPOSIT ON THE ECHO TRIGGER YOU ARE SECURING YOUR PLACE IN LINE. THE REMAINING BALANCE WILL BE DUE WHEN YOUR ECHO TRIGGER IS READY TO SHIP. ECHO TRIGGERS ARE CURRENTLY ESTIMATED TO START SHIPPING IN THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2016. Deposit is $200

I have the Frankford Binary trigger, if you want to shoot fast the binary/echo mode will let it fly. You can achieve true full auto rates with ease. It's also controllable from the shoulder like a full auto is. I haven't gotten to try the Echo yet, if they implemented a method to prevent hammer follow, then it will be an awesome trigger. With Frankford you have to keep cycle speed of the bcg faster than you can pull/release the trigger. That appears to be about 950RPM. I use a light weight carrier and sprinco Orange spring to keep my cycle speed high and foster the reliability I want. Here is mine running the Frankford trigger.  PS. Reliability can be hindered by loose gas key screws, lol. |

Quoted: A Sig MPX would be a fun host, but for some darn reason Franklin Armory won't sell to OR, I have no idea why. We can have all the NFA toys here but for some reason we can't have this trigger. |

Oregon - 166.210 (6) Machine gun means a weapon of any description by whatever name known, loaded or unloaded, which is designed or modified to allow two or more shots to be fired by a single pressure on the trigger device. <snip> single pressure...being pull& release fix your state or move to a mostly free one

Has to do with the wording of the state machine gun laws. They are illegal there. Quoted:

Kind of odd since there's a big machine gun shoot in Albany every year and I know of a few people with full auto. ETA: I guess the wording of the law states that this trigger qualifies as full auto, which is regulated. |
