    My trigger just came in and had a few minutes to play with it before it got dark. I didn't get a chance to take video, but will soon. This is freaking awesome! With the can on, it ran at near full auto speeds. I haven't been this pumped about a gun in a long time. Install was easy, took about 30 mins going very slow. I did have to grind down the safety stops so the selector would go into binary. Double taps are quick and on target and doesn't take more than a couple of seconds to blow through a mag. I know, I suck for not posting pics/videos, just excited and wanted to share. As soon as the weather clears, I'll post some.

    A quick video I took at the range the other day. This is using cheap bulk ammo. I still have to work on my timing a bit and just picked up some HV ammo that I'm hoping will cycle the bolt a little faster.

    That BFS III trigger ROX!
    I put one in a 9mm SBR carbine and get a woody every time I take it to the range ;-)

    BTW, how long did it take to get yours? Mine took about 6 weeks. Also, have you had any issues with it? The one they sent me was totally out of spec and didn't work correctly. It would fire binary with the selector in semi mode as well as going full auto occasionally. I sent it back to them and about a week later got it back. In the box was a whole laundry list of things that was wrong with it. However, it's working correctly now and I LOVE it

    Peace-Out,

    It really is a shitload of fun. I ordered mine from optics planet a couple of weeks ago, took 3 days. I didn't have any trouble with it, it dropped right in and ran great. I function tested it quite a bit before firing and other than me throwing off the timing by screwing with it and having to reset the disconnector, it's been great. It's awesome as a screw around gun. I just picked up 10 different boxes of HV and gonna see how it does, but it seems about 1-2 secs to dump the mag. Not really all that practical, but that wasn't the intention.

    Bump. How's it working out now after a couple of months? I have seriously consider this for my 15-22. Just hard to justify the $400 trigger in a $300 rifle lol. Still seems like about the most fun one could have!

    I've probably put close to 10k rounds through it and still love it. It really does make for a ton of fun. Plus, I can swap it to my other AR's if needed. It's much more controllable than a slidefire and having the 3rd position on the selector just feels good. I'm debating ordering a couple more if it looks like a ban coming.

    They were until everyone started freaking out about the "ban". Now their a little more on GB and you can't find them in stock anywhere that I have looked. Only Franklin has them and are at 8 plus weeks shipping to get one.

    Did you install your BFS or did you have it done? If you did it yourself, did you need special tools?
    Thanks

    I installed myself, everything is pretty simple and straight forward. I did have to sand down selector stops so the switch would flip to binary, but other than that, it only took a few minutes.
