Dead Foot Arms Modified Cycle System
The Dead Foot Arms Modified Cycle System is a retro-fit kit that allows a standard AR-15 platform to transform into a folding-stock rifle. Utilizing proprietary dual-spring technology, the Modified Cycle System eliminates bolt bounce and reduces the overall length of a rifle with a 16-inch barrel to 26.5 inches when the stock is folded. The built-in folding stock adapter provides positive retention when the stock is folded, and with a quick swing of the buttstock, the adapter ensures a rock-solid lockup in the deployed position. Thesystem includes a modified bolt carrier group, recoil springs and a folding stock adaptor kit. The end user can use their current buttstock or any butt stock that will attach to a standard AR-15. The Modified Cycle System attaches only to the lower receiver, allowing the use of any upper receiver of any caliber and any barrel length combination. (deadfootarms.com; 608-764-3076)

Franklin Armory Binary Firing System
The Franklin Armory Binary Firing System is a new, patent-pending design that features a three-position safety selector. Mode 1 is “safe,” Mode 2 is “semi-automatic” and Mode 3 is “Binary.” In Binary mode, the firearm will fire one round with each function of the trigger, whether a pull or a release. What makes the BFS different is that it has the ability to cancel the release-function round while in Binary mode by simply modulating the selector back to semi-automatic and letting your finger off the trigger. Three-Gun competitors, tactical shooters and recreational enthusiasts will truly appreciate this new design. Similar to the BFS is Franklin Armory’s Release Firing System, which operates in the same manner except that it only fires on the release of the trigger in Mode 3. (franklinarmory.com; 775-783-4313)
