The Franklin M4 SBR-M is a compact 7.62 x 51 designed for the defense of freedom. But not a short barreled rifle.

New for 2016, Franklin Armory has two unique offerings bound to turn heads. First and foremost, they have a new rifle named the M4-SBR-M. The M stands for militia and I have a hard time arguing that it isn’t one of the best rifles on the market for the modern-day militiaman.

Chambered in 7.62×51 and rocking a pined 14.5-inch barrel, that Militia model is a rifle built for fighting. Sparing all the nonsense that follows the tactical market, this gun is a bare-bones fighting rifle chambered in the fight stopping 7.62×51. The rifle is well equipped right out of the box.

The Militia model comes stock with a Magpul CTR stock and an Ergo pistol grip. The upper uses a full-length, free-float rail and has plenty of space for mounting accessories or rail sections if the standard positions aren’t enough.

Despite the name, it isn’t technically an SBR.

The barrel is 14.5 inches long, and the break is pinned in place, which brings it to the legal limit.

I’ve got to say this rifle surprised me. I expected it to be heavy and unwieldy, but it is well balanced and compact enough to truly be a great tool. It is available now and retails for $2,600.

The new Binary Trigger

The next new offering from Franklin Armory, the Binary Firing System, isn’t actually new for 2016 but is now picking up steam and readily available via their web store. If you aren’t familiar with the Binary Firing System, it is an NFA approved trigger pack that allows the shooter to fire two bullets with every trigger pull. One on the pull, another on the release.

Bang-bang. And if you don’t want to fire that second shot, just hold the trigger back and engage the safety.

So how do they get away with this? Simple. The Trigger pack works as a three position fire control group. It has safe, fire and (for its third position) Binary. By firing one shot as the trigger is depressed and then a second as the trigger is released, the binary mode drastically increases your rate of fire and instantly increases the amount of joy you will get as you pull the trigger.

These trigger packs are available now at a price point of $399.00. To ensure the best result, you can even send your lower to Franklin Armory for installation (at a total price of $524.98). Both of these offerings from Franklin Armory are exciting and we hope to bring you a full review on both products in the following months.
