The New 22-EZ Trigger Comes Pre-assembled in a Rugged Polymer Housing

to Provide Optimal Performance at an Affordable Price

Franklin Armory, Inc., one of America’s most innovative manufacturers of firearms and accessories, announced today the latest model in the Binary Firing System® lineup. The new 22-EZ Binary® trigger features Franklin Armory’s patented pull and release semiautomatic trigger technology, completely assembled in a drop-in ready polymer housing for super easy installation. Franklin Armory anticipates shipping 22-EZ in Q1 of this year.

Franklin Armory’s new 22-EZ provides the same three-position selectable functionality found in all of its Binary® triggers for rifles and pistol caliber carbines: Position One, safe; Position Two, traditional semiautomatic; Position Three, Binary®. In Binary mode, a single round is fired when the trigger is pulled and a single round is fired when the trigger is released. One of the Binary Firing System’s revered safety features is the ability to cancel the release round by simply moving the integrated selector switch from Binary® to the “semi” or “safe” position before releasing the trigger. More information on the operation of the Binary Firing System can be viewed in the video “How Binary® Works.”

“We listened to our customers and potential customers alike who were seeking that sweet spot between affordability and ease of installation,” said Jay Jacobson, President of Franklin Armory. “Our new 22-EZ not only makes going Binary easier on the pocketbook but it’s a breeze to install as well.”

With an MSRP of only $369.99, 22-EZ makes plinking in Binary mode easy, reliable and cost-effective. For those who prefer their trigger assembled into an aluminum housing, Franklin Armory still offers the 22Plinkster Edition (model 22-C1-P) at an MSRP of $469.99. Read more
