Prototype

[Maghog]

These are two prototype triggers that I am working on. One is more intended to support the "walking" technique(pic #2), and the other is geared towards those who use their middle finger more than the index finger. Tell me what you think of the design and let me know what else you'd like to see on there. Then I start producing.

Functioning art. I have a trigger that Dan made for my dm3 and I love it. In ten years of play it is the best trigger I have ever owned in every aspect. If you get one of these triggers you wont regret it.

[punkncat]

The top one looks like a slightly revised Angel 1 trigger, and the bottom a revised Borg trigger.

[Shirow]

Very nice, I love the look of #1!

[tasker89]

# 1 is very sharp looking!

Do you have pictures of those triggers?
I can't recall them. It would interest me though.

[punkncat]

Sorry, not on hand.

The A1 trigger is easy enough to find on APS' website. The other, the borg will be a bit harder. The one I am talking about specifically is on an 06 Xfighter$ Borg....looks very similar to me.

Don't get me wrong. Great work on your part, just my impression.

[Rudz]

I like the first one a lot

Btw dan lmk when your stateside so we can work on my zframe trigger :clap:

Haven't forgotten about you Rudz. I'll be in touch next week.

[vf-xx]

Ooooh, Pretty shiney.

They both look very good. Any chance you could set them side by side, espeically with a stock intelli trigger, just for reference?

[Ruler_Mark]

id roch either,, however a sexy trigger for a Zgrip is soemthing on my 2-buy

[wetwrks]

Trigger stops. We need trigger stops. :D

[chafnerjr]

Trigger stops. We need trigger stops. :D
I think that was the first thing I thought too. :D

[Shirow]

Well, put me down for one of #1, trigger stops or not :)

[Automagsam]

Make any mini triggers....?????

I see. The profiles are somewhat similar. You can only get so many different trigger designs. However, both of those are missing the sweaty sexiness that Dan's have.

[cough]single triggers?[cough]

[Sumthinwicked]

i agree with chrome my benchmark trig i like but its the only one avalible

[Automagsam]

The triggers are nice, but if I were to get one I'd want to snag one with some trigger stops. The angel was even nicer though....

[chafnerjr]

Having a version of trigger #1 in my hands... it's nothing like the angel triggers. It's much smoother and meatier. Easily twice the thickness... but still much lighter than it looks! I'd imagine trigger #2 to be very similar in thickness to #1 but with the obvious differences you can see between the pic's at the top.

[Maghog]

Single triggers will not be a problem, neither will be tapping a trigger stop if that's what you want.
That angel trigger is kind of nice, looks like it's well rounded.
FYI-at this point in time I'm only going to be making Mag triggers, and nothing else. I'm going to fly to the states for a small vacation and when I get back I'll change my website to start taking orders.
Dan

[pk5]

Will these be available as emag trigger?

[vf-xx]

Put me down for one of #2 with trigger stops.

Then I need to figure out how to do something horrid: making it dust black.... :ninja:

[Maghog]

No production e-mag triggers for now. I do one-offs every now and then, but they are too costly for me to produce efficiently. If you want one, I'll be happy to make it, but it'll cost at least 250$.
Dan

[snoopay700]

They look great, and expensive. ;)

DanAre you going to the (207) area? If so let me know if you want to shoot some paint at the local field in Gorham, I have a few markers you can use :D

Thank you! :) I'll be keeping an eye out for the web site update.

. . . and I checked out your profile - your work shows a fine jeweler's skill. :cheers:

[Chris]

The first one is perfect :ninja:

[pump]

i desire single trigger versions

[Shirow]

What's up with these?

[Maghog]

I just got back to the workshop yesterday after a short vacation. I am now taking orders and will be adjusting the website accordingly soon. I already have five done, and I have at least ten more orders to fill, so if you want one, get in touch and get on board!
Dan

[Jaron]

Dang I get some red Xs instead of pictures. Did the images move or is my work blocking them?

i think it is your work. They are working on my screen.

[vf-xx]

You sure you're machine isn't just pulling the images from Cache?

I'm not seeing the pictures today either, and triggernomics.us seems to be down.

So, either I've got the wrong website (very possible), or it's down.

I am interested in pricing on these.

[Smoothice]

I guess that is possible. Lucky me ;)

[Smoothice]

I guess that is possible. Lucky me ;)


and since i'm so lucky. I will share it with everyone

[Newt]

Those look very comfortable and well made. I'm liking the looks of the middle finger "blade" style. What kind of pricing and volume are you looking at if this gets some steam?

The only thing I'd really want to see added is a bearing.

[Maghog]

I am going to be putting in a trigger stop, but I'm not going to start messing around with roller bearings just yet....maybe someday. As far as pricing goes, I can say that they will be in the 60-70$ range (shipped) it's going to be a bit more specific when the site is changed. I'll basically be selling triggers one by one...first come, first serve, that kind of deal. I don't know if I can keep up otherwise. I've been pretty surprised by the demand now as it is. I'm moving full steam ahead though and website changes are underway.
Dan

[Chace]

I would like to see something like the stock trigger on an EGO, with the exception of having it start the 'roll' if you will, a little higher up. I tend to have my index finger ride up to the top of the trigger whilst walking it.

[BenoitOWN]

Do they get the Rt effect on the x-valve good? As you said it was for the walking technique.

I might start on another mag and that thing would look nice on what im thinking right now.

[Maghog]

Using the trigger with the hook like curve of on the bottom is the nicer of the two for the RT effect. You're touching on the concept I have going for these triggers. I think each setup can be matched with a certain style of trigger to optimize the playing experience.
I'm still on it.
Dan

[Maghog]

Update: I've had a major mishap guys: my 1984 East German Mechanical coping saw broke on me today, and it's not something I can repair. A new one is going to cost me a chunk of cash that I don't have right now. I'll use the down time cleaning up stuff on the website, but I just wanted to let you all know that I'm going to be delaying the release of my production stuff for at least another month or so.

Man that really stinks. Good luck to you on getting a new one when you do, i hope it doesn't break the bank too much.

[Maghog]

Yeah it looks like I'm done for gang. I tried all night to fix that old beast, but it's just not happening. I really wanted to do this for Mag fans and no one else, but I can't justify buying a 1000$ machine just so I can make a few of you happy.
I'll finish off the five triggers I started and raffle them off at some point. I'm glad that I at least got to fill the orders I had without running into problems then.

Sorry, but until I run into a bundle of riches,(I'll try to sell one of my guns)I'm taking a vacation on trigger production. :cry:

That really sucks, and not because you can't make the triggers but because you're out a grand and can't really do any projects it seems.

[Rudz]

That absolutely sucks, these triggers are fantastic, now I kinda feel bad cuz mine got finished...

But there's something that can be done to help you, dare I say it? Will I be stoned to death? Banned?





Pre order? I'm sure some pre orders would definitely help you get the money you need for your saw

Thanks for the idea Rudz, however, I was really hoping to cater to each person individually instead of racking up a bunch of orders and churn out a product just to make a buck.

I'm still going to find a way to do this....it'll just take more time.
Dan

[vf-xx]

Limp by on a cheap ebay scroll saw?

[Maghog]

I could get one new for 75 dollars. It would last about a half a day and I could throw it out. These saws are like harley's, when they run, they hold their value forever. I actually got really lucky when I found mine 8 years ago. I paid only 700$ for it, and it was already 17 years old. Most models like mine in the shape it was would still be worth twice as much. It put up with a lot over the years, and helped me make 5 TLC's, so it was worth every penny.
New, they are around 1800-2000. I just have to keep looking and wait for another deal to come along and I'll be back in business.

I suspected it was something like that.

Any chance you can recoup a little bit of your costs by selling yours off for parts?

For that matter, how is yours not fixable?

[tesguy]

damn sexy!

[Chris]

Sorry to hear about the machinery problems, Dan. Hope that you can get it all sorted out, since I know this is something that you enjoy doing.

[Maghog]

The massive dovetail guide plates have worn out, so instead of going up and down, the whole saw head jostles about, meaning you can't get a straight cut. It also just causes the blades to break right away.
here's the saw in action, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_pS5akhJQ8
If I did a new vid of it, you'd hear a lot of metal banging around.

To fix it, I'd have to make an entirely new chassis for it, and that would be way too expensive and time consuming.
Parting it out is not really possible either since it's actually a rather rare model from East Germany. I'm really surprised it wore out at all.
I'm on it though, as soon as I can scrape the cash together, I'm getting another one. I just have to clear it with the boss (my wife) first.
