The Echo Sport from Fostech is a more economical version of their world-famous Echo II rapid-fire trigger system for the AR-15. It has all the functionality of the Echo II trigger with the only difference being that you select the Echo mode from a paddle located in front of the trigger, rather than through the use of the safety selector. The advantage of the Echo Sport trigger is that it provides the same binary (fire on pull and release) trigger function as the original Echo II trigger, at a more affordable price. It is more efficient, less complex, and most importantly, less money than the Echo II. So what exactly are the differences between the Echo Sport Trigger and the Echo II? Well, there is one primary difference. While the Echo Sport provides the same Echo Firing mode as the original Fostech Echo II Trigger, the controls have been modified to eliminate the use of the 3rd safety selector position. Instead of utilizing the safety selector to go to the third Echo Mode position.... as select-fire rifles would do...., a control paddle in front of the trigger guard moves side to side to select single fire or Echo firing modes.
The Echo Sport Trigger allows the shooter to select from 3 different settings:
Safe Mode: Firearm will not fire.
Semi-Automatic Mode: Firearm fires when the trigger is pulled.
Echo Mode: Firearm fires when the trigger is pulled and also when the trigger is released.
The Echo Sport is different from Fostech’s Echo AR-II in that there’s an added paddle switch in front of the trigger to change firing modes from binary to standard semi-automatic firing instead of using the safety selector like the original Echo trigger.
The Echo Sport trigger is designed with safety as the utmost priority. When the shooter is in the Echo Mode and depresses the trigger firing one round, the shooter can move the paddle to the semi position while firmly holding the trigger rearward and a second round will not fire upon release.
