Fostech Echo was just released when I bought mine. At that time the Franklin trigger needed some "tuning" to work on all platforms and people reported hammer follow. The Fostech had some unique features such as being able to put in "safe" with the bolt closed and the ability to move the firearm to "safe" while the trigger is depressed to prevent the second shot. Not sure if the BFS trigger has since matched these options.

All that aside, the Echo seems to have a soft casting for the hammer and over time the BCG face will dent into it. Not sure they have addressed that problem yet.
