How does the Franklin Armory AR Essential binary trigger differ from the Elite model?

The AR Essential binary trigger is designed to be more budget-friendly, featuring a traditional milspec-style single-sided selector instead of ambidextrous paddles. This allows for a lower MSRP while still providing the core binary firing functionality.

Can I get binary trigger functionality for a Ruger 10/22?
