Anyone getting in on these? Fostech echo!

[Mackjack]

Ordered echo 2 Sunday. Shipped Wednesday. Hopefully have Friday or Saturday. Not really a wait time anymore.

It arrived Saturday. 9-2. Inspection card inside the trigger package said 8-30.... They must be sending these things out as fast as they staple the boxes shut lol

Already sold the trigger.... It's nothing more than a toy. The thing would go semi in binary mode... And induce all sorts of jams. Could it be worked out.... Sure. Is it worth it... Not to me. I'll save that money and put it towards a real machine gun instead. Over all its fun. But you'll get more rounds out faster and more reliably with a bumpfire stock.

That was my experience with it also. I did try everything I could to make mine run correctly but it just was utterly un-reliable.
I have had MUCH better luck out of the Franklin Armory BFS-III binary trigger. It ran very well from the start. Every once in awhile I would have a malfunction, but not very often. Typically just multiple mag dumps with no problems. It ran so well I bought multiple units for several AR's.
I know that many folks have had great luck out of their Fostech Echo triggers, but mine just was a huge disappointment.

Looks like a semi-local news story concerning what looks like a franklin armory trigger in an 80% lower.

Enjoy.

[Hey...]

^ the silver one I see the selector on full auto (maybe binary), but also faintly you can spot a safety sear pin above each selector. They may truly have been illegal MGs. If the guy could machine an 80% its not much more to do what he (potentially) did.

The picture is so bad on my tablet, I honestly can't see a third pin hole.

If that's the case, too bad for him.

I did notice that without a serial number, and a stock and that short barrel on the shiny 80% is looking at least 10 years for that alone.
