The Franklin Armory BFSIII-M4 is a semi-automatic AR-15-pattern rifle configured with a 16-inch mid-length barrel and a collapsible synthetic stock. Chambered for both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO, it combines a practical carbine format with Franklin Armory’s BFSIII binary trigger, which is designed to fire one round when the trigger is pulled and another when it is released. The flat-top receiver and Picatinny rail provide a flexible foundation for adding an optic, while the threaded muzzle supports compatible muzzle devices. A 30-round magazine capacity makes this rifle well suited to range use and general carbine applications.
