Franklin Armory® PC-C1 Install Video

[@gibshoek]

That selector spring and detent had me crawling around on the floor a few times. My favorite was when I couldn't find the spring until I noticed it had shot into my chest hair and stuck in there. Definitely do that step in a non-cluttered area. Thanks for the video it gave me the confidence to do this at home instead of going to gunsmith.

[@boystoyz8922]

Ya I've sent a few springs across the room, some never to be found working on ar's back in the day

[@gbC4mpos]

It helps alot to use a punch smaller than 1/8

[@MutarFuqueer]

So, I have put several of FA's binary triggers on, a couple of those like the 10/22's have similar safety replacement springs on them. I finally got smart and put the whole assembly in a 1 gallon zip lock bag and work with it inside the bag so when the spring does inevitably shoot out, it will catch it rather than let it go flying across the room. Also, instead of a punch coming down from the top, I use the smallest flathead screwdriver I can find and depress it and hold it from the left side while coming in from the right with the new safety. As I advance the safety shaft through the hole, I put it right over top of the flathead and slowly back it off so there is no gap, and less chance of the spring shooting out. MUCH easier!

New trigger packs can be had for about 60 bucks, so it’s worth it to buy a spare and be able to swap triggers as you like.

[@lordkreigs1978]

@@gokuss15 Yeah, I don’t bring that binary to California and get caught with it. And make damn sure your magazines are 10 rounds or fewer.

[@kennyupham5028]

Just what I needed. Put the mode switch in backwards the first time. Had a heck of a time getting it out. When put in correctly, slid in on the first try! I trimmed one full coil out of trigger spring and 1/2 coil from mode switch spring. Installed on Ruger PC Charger. So much fun!

[@AGMXZ1]

For pushing down the selector detent it was way easier for me using a small flathead electronics screwdriver. Instead of pushing straight down from the top, I stuck the screw driver in from the selector hole on the left side and just pressed it straight down. Then I was able to move the selector on top of the pin pushing my screwdriver out of the way.

[@garypapesh1345]

This video helped me out bigtime! Definitely watch first! I wish the instructions would have mentioned the video first! I didn’t find it until I was looking for troubleshooting info. Make sure you are working in a clean uncluttered area. When installing the selector detent and spring, they launched across the room on me several times. Makes finding it easier! My binary function didn’t work at first. Had to go back and clip the trigger spring half a coil and reassemble to test. Had to do this twice (cut 2 half coils total) and then it started working. Be patient and take your time.

[@sick_of_all_the_lies4207]

I can't seem to get the binary mode on mine to function properly. It doesn't release the hammer to fire the 2nd shot. Is this the same issue you were having before you cut down the trigger spring?

[@cpaden7]

Just installed one on my pc charger. It does not pass the last part of step 7- “release the trigger again, and it should reset to the shear.” Mine does nothing when I release the trigger. It passed all other dry fire tests. Any ideas?

[@jayalley2038]

Was having a problem getting binary mode to function correctly, it was firing like a semi-auto. Figured i would comment to help others out that may run into the same issue. My fix for this way to buy an assortment of springs from Ace Hardware(didnt want to cut the spring that came with the trigger in case i had to return it) and find one that fits, cut it down a coil until binary functioned as it should. I also purchased a Double Tap Trigger Over Travel Limiter trigger plunger.

[@kevinbutler4127]

Would just cutting the spring down work? I'm having the same issue

[@silverspork86]

bought a binary trigger for my 10/22. It's been at the gunsmith for installation for 2 weeks now, I'm going insane with anticipation. Maybe I should have just installed it myself? Gun smith said that the 10/22 binary trigger isn't as easy to install as say the AR15 one; it requires some tuning. I've never taken my 10/22 apart so I do not know how to dissassemble it.

[@texaspatriot9153]

Did you ever get your 10/22 running with the binary trigger

[@thomastruant8837]

[@owenhobbs3827]

Thanks for making this video. It’s much easier to follow along than the included written instructions. You can tell you’ve done this a time or two before when you can get that detent spring in without having to cut the camera while you go looking for it 2-3 times. LOL!

[@stevebarton9469]

At 12min 10 sec on your video. All Function checks work perfectly except for straight down on the safety lever it releases the hammer all the way. Is this mean I need to cut my trigger coil spring smaller?

When are you going to come out with a BT for the RM14/30???

[@formaloutcastboi9374]

Great video, I followed the instruction to the letter. However, my Binary trigger is consistently failing the Function tests. I am very discouraged as I have been trouble shooting for a few hours now. when set to Binary, my trigger almost always falls to the sear instead of the firing pin. I have adjusted the trigger spring, I have dis-assembled and re-assembled the trigger multiple times, and I have googled the problem but have found no answers. Has any one had this problem? I would love feed back. of all the trouble shooting I have done, it seems like the fire selector is the cause of the problem. the selector has play allowing it to turn past binary slightly. when I hold the selector past binary the hammer falls on the release of the trigger. that being said, I have had other strange malfunctions while function testing... The bot stayed stuck to the rear while I was holding down the trigger, the ran forward when I let go of the trigger. there is evidence of friction on the bolt from the hammer. the fire selector moves when the hammer isn't cocked sometimes and other times it will not. and once the hammer even dropped to the firing pinn when the selector was set to safe... I plan on calling Customer support come Monday, but I would have liked to enjoy my day off with a working gun.

[@MissingLink-hb9ov]

I wonder if you could get the re-used parts from ruger and just prebuild it and then have both sets as a pack. or buy a complete trigger pack from them

[@chasemcgillis9660]

I got mine installed and all the functions work when dry firing, but at the range the binary function only works intermittently.

[@benjamingibson8795]

That sounds like mine! While function testing everything works perfectly. Once I go out to shoot with live ammunition the binary will only do semi. Called F.A. and they told me the trigger spring may be too long and may not be allowing the trigger to reset fully. Suggested removing 1/2 of a coil from the spring and reattempt. Maximum amount to safely remove is 1 1/2 coils and I am at the maximum with no solution.

[@GreatGreenArklesiezure]

I have been having this same issue. I started really playing with it and I personally realized that the safety selector has some play in it...and it actually "falls out" of binary. I pressed the selector firmly into (like trying to go beyond) binary, and it worked again. It keeps falling out of binary, however, and I don't know what to do from here

[@distalpistol]

[@jacobharris9097]

What if on binary mode apon release the hammer doesn’t drop 🤦🏽‍♂️ how do you fix that.

[@boystoyz8922]

Win removing the original safety selector only turn it 1/4 turn or you will not be able to push out the safety button. PRO TIP, trust me if you spin it 1/2 ah turn the safety will not push out becaus it has the ridge for the trigger and the detent will engage this ridge causing you not to be able to push out the safe button. If you do this like I did use needle nose pliers to spin the safety back to the right position thin turn it only 1/4 turn. And out it slides with ease. Pushing from the red/fire side.

[@boystoyz8922]

But this video did get me through the replacement of my trigger, thanks guys you'll keep making fun triggers for guns other than AR15 and for that I am EXTREMELY greatful. I was so excited win I seen this trigger for my Ruger PC Carbin. It is my by far my favorite gun to shoot steel with.

[@CeeKayz0rz]

Help!! I'm getting bolt follow on my binary mode.... Unless I drop the bolt gingerly by hand, the hammer just follows the bolt home; sear refuses to catch and hold the hammer. This is a huge problem, as it's begging for an out-of-battery.
