hey i have a question. Ive got a really big problem with short stroking. Right now I have a single triggerframe with the guard cut off and a duoble trigger put in. Im gettin a new frame soon but in the mean time I was wondering if i could fit a spring to the trigger pin or somthin to make it return a little faster. also could you fit same polarity rare earth magnets on there and have it do basicaly the same thing.? just woderin.

um just practice shooting and releasing the trigger all the way. thats what i did and i didnt short stroke not once last time i played. or you can spend like 300 bucks and get the x valve or retro so that your trigger is reactive and the gas pushes it foward :)

On stock mags I've always found a single trigger easier to work with but like the other guy said, it just takes practice, practice, practice. If you just got the gun the highest rof you can probably hit is about 7 or 8 bps, but a lot of guy's who have had their guns for a while rip strings at 13 bps on the classic valve. Definently get the lvl 10 kit if you don't already have it, I would get that before any kind of new trigger frame or any other mod for that matter. The lvl 10 makes it so that even if you do short stroke you're not going to chop a ball, which makes the learning curve a lot more enjoyable.

Check your trigger rod length. Make sure the trigger rod isn't making contact with the back of the trigger while the trigger is at rest.

Other than that, practice the complete stroke when firing the mag.
