This frame looks more like a short 90* than an 86* frame. The area where your fingers will grip the frame looks to small to me. This is most likely why the original 90* frame made by Freeflow were made longer!Quote:

This is one of the reasons I'm pumped about a single trigger option!Quote:

I assure you this is not the case, there is plenty of room and it is quite comfortable.Quote:

I can't speak to that because I don’t know why they did what they did, but like I said the grip fits quite nicely in your hand, if it were a problem I would change it. Really its not even "border line" too short.Quote:

I'm pretty sure he copied the length so Angel grips could be used.Quote:

When shooting a two finger trigger frame how many fingers do you use to hold the bottom of your grip frame?Quote:

If there is no interest in a double trigger frame, lmk know now before I spend more time and money. I can switch over to the single version pretty easy, it really does not matter to me one way or another. :)
Exactly! Personally, when using a two finger frame, I really barely grip the frame much at all. I use my offhand on the reg/foregrip more to hold and steady the gun. Kinda hard two walk a trigger if you have your hand completely wrapped around the grip. I like the frame the way it is. Hoping to get both single and two finger styles. Great work!Quote:

i would like a double for sure.
thankyou,

Exactly! :cheers:Quote:

Sounds like there is interest in both albeit a bit more interest in the single!
Put me down for single trigger! Also, I notice you like to mill your logo onto your items now . Is there anyway of putting the logo milling inside the frame?
I’m not taking any of it personal, I don’t really care which ones I make. At this point it really isn’t relevant, I just don’t want to make them and have them sit. As far as the machining, everything is equal i.e. materials, tooling setup, machine time etc, the green (go) button don’t care. ;)
Probably what I'll do is a pre-order with a discount just so I can get the initial numbers right. No limits or stipulations, just a discount for helping me out.
I've come up with a trade mark I'll be using from here on out, but it will not say Lukes Customs, no options or exceptions, sorry.Quote:

The major down side would be you couldnt use existing triggers, but if you keep the agd style triggers, the new ones would work in agd double triggers as well. Any thoughts?
Mmmm... No. Not for me, at least. :)Quote:

Dye did some cocker frames that were 1.5 finger triggers. Granted they were 45 style frames.Quote:

I've sourced my stock to make these from a new vender, but must dive across the state to pick it up, so that will take a day.
I still need to finish the last operation on the prototype, but I'm waiting for another tool order to come in to finish it. (Forgot to order this stuff the first time around :cuss: )
So we are making progress and getting closer. All this is the hard part, once we go to production it will go quick.
I think I’m going to do a limited number of both frames on the first run so I can gather some feedback before jumping in to deep.
is there a range for price on this.
since the way it looks we will have to do some modding on this prame if we want to do anything but Mechanical?
or am i wrong here?
are these going to be stamped with the new 'logo' you mentioned before? cant wait to see the single trigger version :headbang:Quote:

That is a ways out and is mostly a figment of my imagination at this point. I do have a design started but now that these two frames are going to be made I can start from a new slate and do exactly what I want without designing around the AGD platform.
This could be as much as a year out so I can’t field questions on it yet, its way to early. I want to do some smaller projects after these frames are done such as snatch grips, wedges, new emag switches. Plus I have several personal non paintball projects I really need to get done.
:ninja:
I not to a point to price these yet, sorry.Quote:

This is setup is designed for easy mounting a MPA3 without mods, there should be plenty of room to mount a 90* air fitting on the back factory tapped hole on the MPA3. The mounting plate gives you a base to set up an EP actuated frame or a pneumag using a MSV2 or an SMAV3.
In time I will develop mods for all different builds, but for now I don’t have time for R&D.
Yes the frames will come my new trade mark.Quote:

Can't wait......Want to put a set of the single on my pump
Would I be able to get the grip panels done with the AGD Logo (lion) like the ones you do for the 45?
SureQuote:

The safety holes on this frame ended up a smidge bigger than needed so I ordered different drills that I still need to test. (Tools are in house)
I will probably just cut the single trigger frame, panels and trigger next and test that frame, if everything is up to par I will be ready to cut the parts.
I have enough materials to cut 24 frames total, if I am left to decide how many to do of each I will do 12 singles and 12 doubles. So I will offer a pre order to allow anyone interested in a frame to preorder so they can be sure to get what they want. If we end up doing all singles that’s fine I just need to know up front what to make. Pre order does not dictate if the project gets done, I will make 24 regardless, sales will determine if I ever make more.
That’s all for now.
Any thoughts on price yet?
nope, sorry, not even close yet. :)
ill be keeping an eye out for the pre-order thread!
I'm in for a 2x :D
im in for at least 2 too... :cheers:
