So my understanding is that sn over 20k will work but I'm not sure and I'd also like to know

well, if you do and it does then let us all know. I don't have any ar-15's other than the Tippmann's so I'd have nothing else to use it on if it didn't work
To close this one out. Emailed both Tippmann and Trigger Tech on Sunday evening about the trigger fitting challenge.
Sunday night 23:37 received response from TriggerTech asking for more info and giving advice to not mod (shave) trigger hammer but wanted to know firearm that it wouldn’t fit.
Didn’t receive email response yesterday from Tippmann so called them today. Less than 10 seconds from ringing to speaking with a live person that knew what the hell they were talking about. He confirmed that the slot in the bolt carrier for the bug out is too narrow for anything but the hammer on their stock trigger. He advised not to try having the BCG slot widened as that would cause issues and like TriggerTech said, I should not narrow the TT hammer. I asked about the Franklin binary and he said same hammer as on the TT since it’s mil-spec and the bug out slot is more narrow than mil-spec so those won’t work.
End of conversation I concluded that I need to plan to stick with the stock trigger if don’t want challenges And frustration.
Great customer service from both companies,

... and, specifically, please mention the difference between the 'bug-out' version versus the 'regular' pistol version...
This is the 'regular' 'micro' pistol version:
These are the 'bug-out' versions:
They are NOT the same inside and therefore have different trigger acceptance specs.

So far as I know, your pistol has the same lower and bolt as the M4-22 rifle version with serial numbers over 20k, and therefore takes 'mil spec' type triggers.
I know this for certain because I have that rifle, and changed my trigger out for a drop in, 2 stage Triggertech.
There is a video out there (I do not have a link to it) that shows someone running your pistol with the Franklin binary trigger in it. Hard to imagine how much fun that would be, and I have surely been tempted.
As has been shown on various websites ... I don't have the pistols here in front of me to take pictures, so, 3rd party data ... but pretty good information is available. And the Tippmann website says your pistol is a milspec fire control group...
Does your bolt look like this one?

The bugout version has a bolt with an integrated spring assembly (allowing the folding option to work) and this bolt arrangement makes the hammer 'slot' too narrow.
Your spring is, like the rifle, in the buffer tube.
