Franklin Armory’s New Binary Trigger for FN SCAR

Friday, January 17th, 2025

The New SKR-C1 Gives FN SCAR® Owners the Longed-for Ability to Fire on Both the Pull and Release Functions of The Venerable Gas Piston Semiautomatic Rifle

MINDEN, Nev. – January 16, 2025 – Franklin Armory, Inc., one of America’s most innovative manufacturers of firearms and accessories, announced today the latest model in the patented Binary Firing System® lineup. The new SKR-C1 is Franklin Armory’s first Binary® trigger for the popular FN SCAR®. Now, FN SCAR owners can experience the thrill of shooting in Binary mode that hundreds of thousands of Americans have come to enjoy on many other firearm platforms.

“From social media engagements to customer surveys, the FN SCAR consistently ranked among the most requested platforms for our next Binary trigger design,” said Franklin Armory President Jay Jacobson. “Our engineers enthusiastically pursued this project and did a fantastic job of adapting our Binary technology to the renowned SCAR platform.”

Franklin Armory’s new SKR-C1 provides the same three-position selectable functionality found in all of its Binary® triggers for rifles and pistol caliber carbines: Position One, safe; Position Two, traditional semiautomatic; Position Three, Binary®. In Binary mode, a single round is fired when the trigger is pulled and a single round is fired when the trigger is released. One of the Binary Firing System’s revered safety features is the ability to cancel the release round by simply moving the integrated selector switch from Binary® to the “semi” or “safe” position before releasing the trigger. More information on the operation of the Binary Firing System can be viewed in the video “How Binary® Works.”

MSRP for the new SKR-C1 Binary Trigger for FN SCAR is $499.99. Franklin Armory anticipates shipping the SKR-C1 before end of the first quarter 2025.

Magpul Releases PMAG for SureFire ICAR 6 ARC

Friday, January 17th, 2025

I’ve been sitting in this for a long time. Magpul is poised to begin selling a new 25 round version of the PMAG. Designed in conjunction with SureFire specifically for the 6 ARC cartridge, it is used in the new Intermediate Combat Assault Rifle or ICAR as well as other upcoming intermediate cartridge rifles from other manufacturers.

6mm ARC (6x38mm) provides shooters with a light recoiling, accurate, and ballistically excellent cartridge option. The PMAG 25 ICAR GEN M3 Window magazine was designed specifically for the cartridge, offering a durable, reliable, lightweight, 25-round 6mm ARC polymer magazine for the Surefire ICAR carbine and other firearms with magazine wells based off the LWRCI Six8 mag well.

This magazine release is going to reinvigorate the AR market as we will begin to see new rifles and a magazine which can adequately handle the unique case design of 6 ARC. Turns out, although intended for 6 ARC, it also accommodates 338 ARC.

PMAG 25 for 6mm ARC for Surefire ICAR Features:

– 25-rounds of 6mm ARC

– Rounds-remaining capability via high-visibility coil and dual-side windows 

– Paint pen dot matrix for magazine identification 

– Redesigned bolt-catch notch for added clearance 

– Over-travel stop prevent over insertion 

– Slim, flared floorplate promotes extraction and handling while enabling use in mag pouches 

– MagLevel system 

– GEN M3 standard features such as constant curve internal geometry, a long-life stainless-steel spring, a four-way anti-tilt follower 

– Low-profile ribs and aggressive texture on front and rear gives additional grip in all conditions

The magazine itself is a progression of the 28 round Six8 mag developed for an LWRC project in 2012. They took that as a starting block and SureFire developed a larger magwell to accommodate that magazine. Additionally, they used a custom broach to modify the test mags for 6 ARC. Testing feedback was integrated into the production magazine. The end-user asked for a slightly shorter mag so they ultimately gave it a 25 round capacity. It fits in standard 30’round AR mag pouches.

As many of you know, SureFire has been working on small arms technologies for years such as the AROC operating system. Now, they’ve created an entire rifle. I reached out to SureFire to find what I’m allowed to say about ICAR. This is the statement they gave me:

SureFire has always been committed to leading from the front as we continue our relentless pursuit of the newest technology. The ICAR 6 ARC rifle is a glimpse behind the scenes of future SureFire technologies in development. This project is a result of decades of R&D and is a solution for a specific customer. Currently the project is in pre-production status and the product launch date is TBD at this time.

I have fired the ICAR and it answers my complaints regarding previous versions of carbines chambered in 6 ARC. Mainly, magazine issues and bolt issues. It’s fully ambi and even integrates an RRS section on the handguard. The ICAR is a laser and I’m hoping it is available soon. I want one.

This is a SureFire video on the magazine.

Be sure to check the ICAR and magazine out in the Magpul booth at SHOT Show. I believe it will be one of, if not the biggest draw at the show.

Coming Soon from Magpul – TMAG 20 AR/M4 GEN M3

Tuesday, January 14th, 2025

As part of their annual pre-SHOT Show announcements, Magpul has involved the TMAG 20 AR/M4 GEN M3, a 20-round capacity version of their Transparent magazine technology.

Molded from a durable translucent material with an olive drab hue, it provides shooters the ability to visibly verify various ammunition types and the current round count. Featuring ribbed front and rear straps for improved purchase during magazine changes, the sides are left smooth to enhance visibility.

Due to the shorter length, the 20 rounders lack the high visibility spring and round count markings of the 30-round variant.
