The video opens with live fire from a Ruger 10/22 in .22 Long Rifle, emphasizing its light recoil and familiarity as a common first rifle. The host introduces Franklin Armory and explains that the company is known for binary triggers. These triggers fire one round on the pull and another on the release of the trigger. Franklin Armory already offers binary systems for AR platforms, AK platforms, CZ Scorpion, and MP5 clones. The focus here is the newly announced Franklin Armory 22-C1 binary fire system for the Ruger 10/22. The trigger kit is installed in a Ruger 10/22 with a basic optic and is demonstrated on the range to show how it changes the rifle’s shooting characteristics.
The host explains the operation of the Franklin Armory 22-C1 in detail. The safety selector appears reversed compared to what some shooters might expect. Whatever marking the selector lever covers is the mode currently in use. When set to safe, the rifle will not fire. Switching to semi-auto provides standard semi-automatic function, firing one round per trigger pull with an audible reset. In binary mode, the trigger fires once on the pull and again on the release, with the reset corresponding to the hammer falling and sending another round downrange. The demonstration highlights how the binary mode increases the rate of fire while still requiring deliberate trigger control from the shooter.
The Ruger 10/22 is described as a soft-shooting .22 LR rifle that many shooters grew up using. The host notes how the platform has evolved into more configurable and “tacticool” setups, with options such as Archangel stocks and even bayonets. Ruger also offers the 10/22 Takedown model, which separates the barrel and forend from the receiver for easier transport and use as a camp or travel gun. The binary firing system from Franklin Armory is presented as an additional way to expand what the 10/22 can do, adding a different firing mode to a familiar platform. The host alternates between slow and fast strings of fire to show how the binary trigger behaves in practical use.
The range segment uses Aguila .22 LR Super Extra 40-grain ammunition. The rifle is fed primarily from ProMag 35-round magazines instead of the standard flush-fit Ruger rotary magazine. The ProMag magazines feature molded indentations and tabs that allow two magazines to be coupled together without additional hardware. This setup lets the shooter fire one magazine, flip it, and continue shooting with the second, as shown in the intro. The host notes that installing the Franklin Armory 22-C1 on a Ruger 10/22 is manageable but requires attention to the small springs in the factory trigger group. Franklin Armory provides a dedicated installation video on YouTube to guide users through fitting the 22-C1 binary firing system into their 10/22 trigger housing.
The video shifts to a detailed look at the Nemo Executive Order rifle, chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. The rifle features a Proof Research carbon fiber–wrapped barrel and a Geissele Super Dynamic Enhanced two-stage trigger. It includes ambidextrous controls and a 15-inch M-LOK rail paired with a 20-inch barrel. The gas system is easily adjustable for suppressed or unsuppressed use by flipping between two positions. The rifle wears Magpul furniture, including a MIAD-style grip with interchangeable front and backstrap panels. On top is a Trijicon Credo 4-16x50mm optic mounted in Trijicon heavy-duty high-rise rings. The host describes this Nemo Executive Order as a standout AR-10 pattern rifle and notes that it is the subject of a current giveaway on ClassicFirearms.com, encouraging viewers to enter through the site’s banner and entry options.
Returning to the Ruger 10/22, the host emphasizes that the Franklin Armory 22-C1 binary firing system retains the rifle’s existing features, including the bolt hold-open or bolt catch found on standard 10/22 trigger groups. The design is intended to be compatible across the various generations of 10/22 rifles, which have remained largely similar over time. Viewers are encouraged to explore Ruger 10/22 models, Aguila .22 LR ammunition, ProMag 35-round magazines, and Ruger BX-25 magazines on the Classic Firearms website, using product alerts to track restocks. The video closes by inviting comments about personal Ruger 10/22 experiences and reiterating that the 22-C1 binary trigger adds a distinctive firing option to a widely used .22 LR platform.
