Frequently Asked Questions

What is the current legal status of the Franklin Armory Reformation?

The Franklin Armory Reformation is still legal to own for those who already possess one. While complete firearms can no longer be sold as such, Franklin Armory continues to sell uppers, and individuals can still legally build their own Reformation firearms at home.

What is the 'digital action' mechanism of the Franklin Armory Providence firearm?

The Providence features a unique 'digital action' where pulling the trigger initiates a cycle. It scoops a round, the carrier moves back, scoops another round, the rotating bolt closes, and a fixed firing pin fires the round, offering inherent safety without gas venting.

What are the key features of the Franklin Armory Title 1 firearm?

The Title 1 is a semi-automatic firearm with a 16-inch barrel and a forward grip. In California, it's classified as an 'other' firearm, not a rifle or pistol. It accepts 30-round magazines and is chambered in .5.56, but it does not have a stock.

What is the price point for Franklin Armory's new binary trigger?

Franklin Armory's new binary trigger, featuring a three-position selector (safe, semi, binary), is set to have an MSRP of $299.99. They are also exploring the possibility of offering drop-in pre-built trigger packs in the future.
