Description
Franklin Armory finally gave FN SCAR owners something they'd been asking about for years. The SKR-C1 is the company's first Binary Firing System trigger designed around the SCAR platform, and it brings that signature pull-and-release feel to one of the most respected gas-piston semiautos out there. Run it in Binary mode and you get a round on the pull and a round on the release, which cuts down your split times and lets you put shots on target faster than a standard trigger ever could.
How the SKR-C1 Handles Its Three Modes
Like the rest of Franklin's binary lineup, this is a three-position selectable setup. Position one is safe, position two is your standard semiautomatic pull, and position three is Binary. The curved trigger face gives you a familiar, comfortable pull, and there's a positive reset on the release phase so you always know where you stand. If you decide you don't want that second shot, you can cancel the release round by moving the selector out of Binary while you're still holding the trigger back. That built-in control is a big part of what makes the system feel confident to run.
Fitment and Setup on Your SCAR
The SKR-C1 is a drop-in design that works with most current FN SCAR models, and it's compatible across both the 5.56 and .308 civilian variants. That covers the vast majority of SCAR builds folks are running, whether you're shooting a 16 or a 17. Because it's engineered for the platform rather than adapted from another gun, the fit is dialed in and the manual of arms stays familiar.
This one lands squarely in the sweet spot for competition use, range days, and anyone who just wants to wring more speed out of a rifle they already love. The SCAR has always been a shooter's rifle, and adding binary capability turns range time into something genuinely fun. If your SCAR has felt like it was missing that last bit of excitement, the SKR-C1 is the upgrade that delivers it.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the SKR-C1 fire in Binary mode?
In Binary mode, the SKR-C1 fires one round when you pull the trigger and a second round when you release it. This pull-and-release cycle shortens your split times and makes for quicker follow-up shots. When you want to go back to a single shot, just switch to Semi or Safe.
Which FN SCAR models does the SKR-C1 work with?
The SKR-C1 is compatible with most current FN SCAR models and works across both the 5.56 and .308 civilian variants. That covers the common builds people are running, including 16 and 17 pattern rifles. It was engineered specifically for the SCAR rather than adapted from another platform, so the fit is tight.
Can I cancel the release shot on the SKR-C1?
Yes. If you decide you don't want the second round, you can cancel the release shot by moving the selector out of Binary mode while you keep the trigger held back. This is one of the core control features built into Franklin's Binary Firing System.
Is the SKR-C1 a drop-in trigger?
It's designed as a drop-in upgrade for the SCAR platform, so you're not looking at heavy gunsmithing to get it running. Following the included Franklin Armory instructions closely is important for correct setup and safe operation. If you're not comfortable doing the work yourself, having a qualified armorer handle the install is always a smart move.
