Franklin Armory F22 Binary Pistol | .22 LR | 8″ | 0230000BLK

The Franklin Armory F22 is a compact, factory-built .22 LR pistol that combines a binary-capable trigger system with an optics-ready receiver and SB Tactical chassis and 1913 brace. It ships with an 8-inch threaded steel barrel (1/2×28 thread pitch) and an extended magazine release for quicker reloads. The platform is compatible with many aftermarket Ruger 10/22 components, making customization straightforward for rimfire competition or high-volume training. For an optic under $1,000, a Vortex Crossfire II 1-4×24 provides a durable, versatile solution that works well with the F22’s intended uses.
