Franklin Armory 0050631Blk Binary Ar-Elite Black Curved Trigger Fits Ar-Platform

The Franklin Armory Binary AR-Elite curved trigger is a precision 3-position trigger system designed for AR-platform shooters who want more control over their rate of fire. This is the curved trigger bow variant of Franklin Armory's modular AR-Elite platform, giving you a traditional curved profile whether you're running competition drills, tactical work, or just pushing rounds downrange at the range. The binary firing mode—which fires one round on the pull and one on release—delivers faster split times and tighter shot groups compared to standard semi-auto triggers, making it popular with competitors and serious recreational shooters alike.

What sets the AR-Elite apart is its flexibility. The trigger comes with interchangeable trigger bows, so you can swap between this curved design and a straight flat-faced option depending on your grip preference and application. The binary mode can be safely canceled by moving the selector lever out of binary while you're still holding the trigger back, giving you a real safety override. Installation is straightforward, and the trigger works across most AR calibers—5.56 NATO, .308 Win, .300 BLK, 9mm, and rimfire platforms—as well as with standard bolt carrier groups.

At 4.5 lbs with a positive reset, the AR-Elite delivers a clean, predictable break. Enhanced buffer springs keep the system running smoothly through the release phase, and the whole package is built to handle the demands of higher round counts without fatigue. Whether you're fine-tuning your setup for a match or just want a trigger that rewards good fundamentals, the AR-Elite gives you the tools to shoot tighter and faster.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Franklin Armory Binary AR-Elite work with my AR-15 or AR-10?

Yes. The AR-Elite is designed to work across most AR-platform rifles in standard calibers including 5.56 NATO and .308 Win, and it's compatible with most standard bolt carrier groups. If you're running a niche platform or BCG, verify compatibility with the manufacturer.

Can I switch from the curved trigger bow to a straight one?

The AR-Elite features interchangeable trigger bows, so you can swap between curved and straight designs. This product includes the curved bow; a straight flat-faced bow can be purchased separately to match your preference.

Is binary mode safe? Can I turn it off mid-fire?

Yes. The trigger has three positions: Safe, Semi, and Binary. If you're holding the trigger in binary mode and want to cancel the release round, simply move the selector out of binary mode while holding the trigger back. This gives you real control over when the second round fires.

What's included with the Franklin Armory Binary AR-Elite?

The trigger comes with the curved trigger bow installed and the mechanism ready to drop into your AR. The straight flat-faced bow is sold separately if you want to have both options on hand.
